I posted a few days ago about the journalist who came over last Saturday and interviewed me and 3 other moms for an article about Kazakhstan's adopted children here in America. She sent me some photos she made. Here's the best one. Larisa, the journalist, is in the middle with her arms around Michael and little Tamar. All of these children come from Kazakhstan and you can see they range from very blonde to very Kazakh. Of course, they are all completely adorable!
Tall people, left to right: Alesia, Dee, Larisa, and Shannon.
Little people, left to right: Michael, Stella, Tamar, and Libby.
Here's the group minus Larisa [who took the photo] and including Laura, Stella's mom.
Michael discovered a nest with baby birds in one of our hanging baskets out front. Every time I hang a basket there, a bird builds a nest in it. Michael was very excited. I can live without the petunia. I just hope the little birds don't fall out of the nest onto the bricks...
When I came home from work I saw a small brown bunny rabbit munching something in our side yard. I sat and watched it for a few minutes, long enough to sing "Blue Suede Shoes" which was playing on the radio. When I sneered like Elvis and sang "Uh uh honey lay offa mah SHOES!" the bunny cocked it's head and looked at me like Lady, you are nutso, and hopped off. LOL
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!
My friend Sarah, in upstate New York, just gave birth to child #5! Little Gardner popped in the other day to join the family, and was very welcomed by his siblings, 3 of whom were adopted from Petropavlovsk. Paul, the only other boy, was a friend of Mike's at school in Kazakhstan. Here's the link to see all the cuties:
