L-R Back: Tamara, Bill, Collette, Ken. Front: Shirley, Lena
Kostek asleep in the apartment before we improvised bumpers
Sweet Marlenka...any suggestions
on how to stop finger sucking?
Marlena enjoying her bath
Kostek enjoying his bath
...even more!
Head protection is necessary
in this dangerous environment
Kostek and Marlena,
partners in crime
“Hey Grandpa...
I’ve got a horn too!”
Our computer station...Ken says
the chair is uncomfortable
Ken fighting, oops,
feeding Kostya
Playdays are a daily ritual...is
there a kid behind that curtain?
Is he going to hug her, or hit her?
Kostek likes his hungry caterpillar book...mostly he likes how it tastes (Check out Marlena getting a knee ride in the background)
Ready for a walk in the park
But the park is flooded, still!
Human hamster wheels
in need of maintenance;
Ferris wheel out of service too
Naptime came a little
earlier than planned
Main post office in Karaganda
Wheelchair ramp, Kamikaze-,
oops, Kazakhstan-style
Communist era grandiosity...
a tribute to coal miners
(and a good place for
pigeons to roost)
