Short Pause in Kaz

Leaving the Orphanage

Today was Rosa's last day in the orphanage. We arrived at her orphanage around 10:00 AM with gifts for a few people there. We also had cakes and treats for Rosa's group. Rosa is in a group of 10 children made up of boys and girls. Rosa is the youngest in the group.

I wanted to post a picture of the small party we had with her group, but Kazakhstan is really sensitive about having pictures posted of its children, so I'm playing it safe and not doing it.

The picture today is of the orphanage director. He's a very nice man that the children all seem to really like.

After leaving the orphanage we had pizza, went and signed more documents and then hung around the hotel room the rest of the evening. Jo Ann had to teach Rosa how to use a shower tonight and she seemed to do OK.

Tomorrow we'll be signing more papers, and packing for our Friday trip to Almaty.

Happy Birthday Kyle! We wish we were there with you but we'll all be home soon!
