On The Move


We've all been on the move these last couple of days. Chris left on the 26th and made it home safely. I had to leave my home away from home for one night because they were overbooked. I spent last night at a different guest house in a very remote location but I felt perfectly safe. I didn't venture out however because I was afraid I would never find my way back. Thank goodness for cup of noodles and crackers.

Lana is on the move also. Her walking gets more steady by the day. She spends much of the time I'm with her each day holding my hands and walking me around. Her balance has improved quite a bit. She crawls so fast I can't keep up with her. The nurses like her to stay on a blanket. I run from one side to the other turning her around.

Today some American military men were at the orphanage. It was great to see them playing with all the kids. I understand this is part of an outreach project they have at the Bishkek base. They bring a group to visit about once a week. The kids loved it.

How exciting that you're there to see these new movements and developments!! It makes her more and more a part of the family. She's already claimed you and has become protective of you around the other children.
Can't wait til you all arrive home!
