This is what Luba called Elloree as soon as she laid eyes on her. Malinki means; small, tiny, baby. Luba snatched her right up and starting carrying on a conversation in Russian with her. Elle smiled and giggled. Luba grinned in delight and continued on her talked. Elle then decided she needed to say something too. Luba responded with DA DA DA (yes yes yes). Luba is a sweet heart and we have loved her since the first time we met her in 2006. She was also telling Miss Elloree about her big brother Oraz. She has always called Rhys his given name because Rhys was just too odd for them.
The rest of the day was spend doing a little shopping, watching movies, but mostly sleeping. Sleeping at least for Marc, Elloree and I. Griffin decided to stay up most of last night and only napped a little today. Gia and Ben have grabbed a few hours here and there. Both of the babies are fighting colds complete with runny nose and conjestion.
All you Kokshetau families will remember the little pink walker in the cottage.

Congratulations on your "official" new addition!!! Just in time for Thanksgiving. :-) She is such a gorgeous little malinki (or is it malinka?) girl with the hippest wardrobe and the coolest parents and brother ever!
I'm so glad you guys are having a good second trip. I wish you love and joy during the holidays.

Regina, Frank and Milo (who successfully visited Santa at the mall last night!)
We are in Tennessee for Thanksgiving and thinking about all of you there. We miss you and love you so much and will be thinking of you!
Love,

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
How long until you return to NC?
Love,
Aunt Ann
