Round and Round from Kazakhstan

Hello All,

We have decided that today's title fits our feeling for the day. We feel like we go round and round and do the same thing everyday, as we are in a routine. Also, notice the picture of Lonnie on the merry-go-round. But, him not so merry on the picture. We are all a bit tired and wishing for home. But, we know that in the end, it is all worth it, as we love Marina dearly.

Today was the usual. We visited with marina and took her for long walks. She has a cold, as everyone seems to be sick in her babyroom, so they keep passing in "around" We can't wait to get her back to the hotel room, hoping that the change in environment will help her clear up a bit.

Tomorrow we have only one visit and we are planning on going to the market tomorrow. It gives us something to do to pass the time. Tonight Lonnie made mashed potatoes (instant) and chili, it tasted great, as we are all hungry and losing weight. :-)

Well, I guess that is all for today. We are tired and going to rest a bit. As we long for home, we know that in a few months, after reflection, this will be a wonderful life experience, and we are very grateful for the gift of Marina, as she makes our life very merry and our hearts happy.

love to you all,
US
