Typical Day in Kaz...for those of you who are interested...

We get up at about 7:00 in the morning and check email, eat breakfast, shower and get ready to go to the orphanage to visit D. Our driver/translator pick us up about 9:45 and we head over to Kids Village (about a 10 minute ride from our apartment).
We play and spend time with D from 10:00AM until about noon. After that, we typically head home or head to the Irtish Hotel to have lunch and check email and post an update to the blog. By mid-afternoon we clean up the apartment and take a trip to the market for items for dinner. We usually watch a TV show (right now we are in the middle of Heroes & Always Sunny in Philadelphia) on the laptop for awhile and then make dinner. After dinner we read or play games until about 8:00 PM when we get on the internet and try to Skype with fam & friends. Once we’re finally frustrated of the internet dropping (gotta love dial-up), we head to bed about 10:30 – 11 and watch a little TV before trying to fall asleep.

Also in the afternoons, we work-out, do a load of laundry, go toy shopping, etc…depending on the day.

And then we get up and do it all over again!!! We are REALLY looking forward to getting high speed internet installed in our apartment, which should be ANY day! By doing that, hopefully we’ll be able to work in the afternoons/evenings!
