The past few days…
Micah doing paperwork for Keira's passport and helping Violet with a puzzle
Failed attempts at Keira’s passport picture. We had to have taken about 50 pictures to finally get a good one. Don’t worry, we did get a decent one.
Up until today, I was proud to say that Violet had never drawn on the walls with crayons
Siberian Trip Pt. 5
Hi Friends!
Keira hasn’t changed much in the last week so I thought I would post about my Siberian survey trip again. =)
I had the privilege of spending the night in a village that my co-workers have worked in, here are some pictures from that trip.
The last 15 minutes of the drive was on a dirt road that was shared with sheep.
Village of Shambalik
School where my friends taught English
Where I spent the night, Sayid's house.
Outhouse
Sayid makes saddles and is also a musician
The local tea - salty and milky.
We went to the well to fill up their water canister
The first well was dry
The second well worked
Sayid playing the Igil
Can you guess what kind of meat we had for dinner??
Sayid's kids playing - the boy is pretending to be a horse
Walking out to the plane to head back to Moscow
Well, thats about it. It was a great trip! Soon I will put some videos up as well, thanks for checking out our blog.
One Week Old
Today our little Keira is a week old! We are all adjusting really well. The first night home, I was up pretty much the whole night with her, but the last two nights have gone way better. I’ve been trying to keep her on a 3 hour feeding schedule, but sometimes that’s really hard to do when your baby just will not wake up! She loves to sleep! At night I’ve been letting her sleep a little more and have been going about 5 hours between feedings. And during the day I try to keep her awake, when she’s supposed to be awake so she doesn’t get confused about day and night. That’s what it seemed happened the first night. Not fun.
Violet loves having her around too. I’m so glad she has been taking everything really well. She gives Keira hugs and kisses all the time, and when her and Micah come in from outside she always ask, “Where’s baby?”. I can’t wait to see them playing together when they are bigger.
