Snowflakes in Bishkek



It is snowing in Bishkek and Channing and Lana are stuck inside today. They play in between paperwork and travels to agencies and consulates. You're not going to believe this, but Lana is still sleeping 8 to 12 hours each night. She takes a nap or two in the day also. It must be the orphanage schedule. So each day it is play hard and sleep hard.

Lana took a few steps unassisted yesterday! Channing has the room set up as a racetrack. Lana can keep a hand on the crib or the edge of a bed all the way around. She's doing lap after lap, while all the time chatting up a storm. Every now and then she cuts across the middle with what Channing says is a "funny kind of side-step" that makes her laugh.




Tomorrow, they leave for Kazakhstan. Our little showflake will be one step closer to home.

Glad to hear everything is going well. I hope the rest of the trip is uneventful. I can't wait to see new pictures!
