Cold and WIndy


Two more days of visitation left. We leave for Astana Saturday morning after an am visit to the hospital. Our flight leaves 5 am Monday, but we wanted a chance to see this countries capital. Astana became the capital in 1997 and the whole city has been basically built since this time.
Tomorrow before our visit we go to petition the court for a hearing to grant the adoption. We will find out next week what that date will be. We should be back over here for the second part of the trip within 3 weeks or so.
Yesterday we put batteries in the mobile above Elle's crib and she went nuts over it. She cackled and talked, the most animated we have seen her in our whole time here. I guess it can get boring between visits.
We all went to the ourdoor bazaar yesterday to buy some gifts, it was col and windy. I tried on a Kazak hat, but didn't buy it. The rest of the time we're here it not supposed to get above the 20's, so we will be in for some cold weather when we get back.

Love the photo of Marc in the Kazahk hat. He may need it to keep warm on the second leg of the trip.
Elle is going to miss her Mom & Dad. Our favorite photo is of her with the blankie over her head. What a sweet heart.
Got her a nice warm bunting for this winter.
Good wishes for your trip to petition the court and your travels this weekend.
Love and hugs with kisses to Elle,
Omi Peg & Papa

Glad that you will be home soon...We're so anxious to see you. Just hope the second leg of your journey passes as quickly as the first has.
Good luck at court!

I, too, loved Marc in the Kazahk hat. I think you need it. Rhys can grow into it later.
Miss Elle is holding up her head very well in the blanket picture.
Hope the petition goes well.
Love,
Aunt Ann
