Jenya can't get enough of bouncing on this ball in the playroom. When we stop bouncing she just keeps on going bobbing her head up and down and kicking her feet. She's got us cracking up all the time. We were visited by a woman from the Ministry of Education while we were playing. Once we were introduced we got a little nervous. She has all the power to give a good referral on our behalf to the judge. It seemed to go well, but the MOE meeting and court are still weighing on our minds. We just can't wait to hear the words that Jenya is ours. Only a few more weeks!
Will try to post some more pictures later, but we're stressing about how to get hard copies off of the cameras for court. We are required to have 15 pics of each day of bonding with the date on the back. When we went to the Kodak store, our memory cards were too big! They couldn't be read in the machine. Then Catherine bought a new card and it didn't work in her camera. What a fiasco. So now I'm trying to burn photos onto a CD and see if the machine accepts that. Uncle Jim, if you're reading this, do you have any other ideas??
Our love goes out to you all for the amazing support we've received from everyone. We absolutely love all the comments, please keep them coming. Anyone watch The Next Food Network Star? Who was kicked off last time? I guess I could just check the Food Network website, but it's more fun to talk about it with someone who watches it!
By the way, we tried Karaganda beer the other night and it is fabulous! I wish we could somehow bring it home with us. A whole pint cost either 200 or 250 tenge, which is $1.33 or $1.66. And it's on tap at our hotel! We're hoping to check out the bowling alley soon, and we'll definitely get pictures of that. The bowling alley is also located right in our hotel. Have a great weekend everyone!
Awww she loves it! Too cute! I can see Ricky making a trip to the toy store when he gets home!
ReplyDeleteOK IT IS 5:48 A. I CAN NOW GET READY FOR WORK.
ReplyDeleteI had my Miss Jenya fix. But that is not to say that I will not have the site on,on my office computer.
I show her off to everyone. Dr Hall likes looking at the pictures, so do the nurses. Every thing will go well with the MOE, and with the pictures. Just remember who is in controll!!!! Lv U
That's great playtime. Love her little voice. Leaving for the woods, I will be having withdrawl for the next 2 days. Don't let worries get to you, they steal your joy. We all know Who is steering this ship. Lots of love.
ReplyDeleteI know when I go to Walmart the picture machines have a choice for different size memory cards,CDs and you can scan prints also(just a thought)
ReplyDeleteDid I read you said bowling? I invite you guys to a friendly contest bowling!
Try not to stress about the MOE meeting and the court. You guys are great parents and Jenya is a lucky little girl to have you guys
Love the video.Hug and kiss Jenya for Aunt Kelly. All my love.XXXOOO
She just loves that bouncy ball!!! You can see her feet keep kicking after you stopped bouncing her. She's so adorable and she says Da Da. Rick must surely love hearing that.
ReplyDeleteYou should ask Janice or Cathy to contact someone who's just been there to see how they managed getting their pictures done.
You are a great couple who are wonderful parents so don't worry about court or the MOE - God is in control just as he has been through all your other trials
Love and kisses to Jenya, you and Rick
P.S. Miss you alot and love you more
ReplyDeleteI love her little feet kicking when you stopped. Kennedy said she wants to try that too. She wants to be ready to play with baby goldfriend when she returns.
ReplyDeleteWe are all praying everyday. Jenya was meant to be yours and I have not one worry that things will not go smoothly. I can understand why you are worried though. You will not feel ok until your baby and the both of you are all home together.
cutie-patootie!!! we are having a blast seeing the videos--thanks for keeping us all smiling and able to share your joy!
ReplyDeletesometimes cameras have internal memory where you can save a small amount right onto the camera. If yours has that you might be able then plug your camera USB into their computer to print. Or, are you able to get your pictures on to the computer you are using? Then you could purchase a jumpdrive that is small enough for the Kodak place and transfer them onto there? just some ideas. Good luck, I am sure everything will work out, but I can see how you are worried. How about showing these videos? Any judge could see this baby chose you two not the other way around! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of my baby girl. Or should I say girls.
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to tell you how happy I am everyday to see your blog. It is really amazing watching you go through this process! She looks like such a happy little girl:)
ReplyDeleteI showed mommy and daddy the blog yesterday. They both think shes beautiful. The whole time mommys watching,she looks at me and says "thats my granddaughter, isn't she beautiful". Other news from home, Ozzi got skunked last night so on top of all his other health issues, that we have been dealing with for the last six months, he smells really,really bad. Poor boy!lol. No worries, only happy thoughts and sweet dreams allowed. Just show them this blog, and they will see that she has an entire family and many friends that have fallen in love with her. You will be bringing her home to us.
ReplyDeleteAunt Joannie and I can't wait to meet this little beauty. She is the best. As for the photos, I don't understand exactly what the problem is?
ReplyDeleteKeep posting, we love to see and hear.
After seeing you guys playing with her on the ball, how could the MOE possibly have a problem? I know they have a secret "stone face" training program...but 'cmon, that was just too cute...that oughta melt the heart of even a bureacrat!
