When we last posted we were celabrating the Kazak holiday,three days have passed and it has been quiet here.As we mentioned most of the city has been shut down until Sunday. When ever a holiday falls on the weekend Sunday becomes a work day, so it was business as usual today.We spent a lazy couple of days after the festival on Thursday. Friday we visited the largest park in the city Freedom Park.They have a Huge statue of an unknown solider and war memorial with the names of all the lives lost,and an equally massive bronze of Lenin overlooking the entire setting,very impressive.Saturday Bruce went on his own to shop for Carries birthday at the open air market and the big mall,[ not so big really].A perfect time for Carrie to lose herself in Anna Karenina
We continue to visit Julia every morning and she continues to amaze.Today Sunday we joined Olyssa and the rest of our ameraconski's for lunch and then back to the hotel to get ready for our first visit with the courts,Bruce is a little nervous, he has to do all the talking,we'll check back tomorrow and let you know how it all goes.Love to all Carrie and Bruce

Being a little bit nervous is part of the process. After being in the classroom for almost 20 years, I've come to understand that being a little nervous is good. It sharpens your focus. If you are well prepared and have some notes outlining the points that you want to include in the answers, you'll be able to make those points . Speak from the heart and be yourself as you always do. Answer from within, it will be genuine, and they will love you as we do.
Love to you from the Home Team.
I can't believe that Lenin is still standing! Bruce will be fine! We love you guys and are hoping good things for you.

Carrie & Bruce:
We came back to Amy's so we could catch up from day 14. The solo photo of Julia was great as some of the others have been pretty dark. Now we are most anxious to hear about the court date! Happy Birthday!
Love, Uncle Frank & Aunt Nancy
Happy Birthday Carrie!
All our love and best wishes for a day filled with dreams realized and rainbows! Love from two from the Home Team.....T&D
