Jenya's New Backpack







We found this cute little mouse backpack in an underground toy store on our way to the grocery store. Usually kids toys and clothes are really expensive here, even more than at home. But this was a bargain at 600 tenge ($4)! She loves to look at herself in the mirror wearing it, it's so cute. If you're wondering what an underground toy store is, it's just a shopping area under the main streets of the city. Instead of crossing the streets, you go underground through a tunnel to get to the other side.

  5. What size clothes is she wearing in the picture? Is that 12 or 18 months?
    Did you try any new shoes on for size?
    We shoppers need to know : )

  6. Oh good!! She can keep her workout gear in there when she heads to the gym with her headband!! :) She is so darn cute, but Kristen....you may need a little help from April with "headband styling".

    I second the size question too!

    Hi Auntie Kristen. This is Baby Gold Friend-1. I just wanted you to know how excited we are for you and Jenya to come home.
    I can see that you have already started to put headbands on Jenya, like mommy does to me. I guess we will just have to deal with it. You should see the costume she got for me. I think it looks silly but mommy keeps saying 'adorable'. I can't wait to see Jenya's. I hope I am not the only one who has to dress like this.
    Well have a safe trip home and if you could post a few more pics of Jenya soon, I would really love it.
    Love you guys,
    Kennedy (&and my mommy too)
