this one is for aller!

Okay, so we all know I'm no good at updating this whatsoever. As Ally has graciously pointed out my lack of ability, I figured I'd update it today.

So let me run you through a basic day for me.
I am usually awoken by Xander, because he runs into my room, yells Hey Hey!! Wake Up!!
This is usually followed by him saying that hes cold so he can get under the blankets with me. Once he is all snug as a bug, he asked me for my iPod, which he is no obsessed with. We usually hang out in bed for 10 minutes, then everyone gets ready for the day. Once 945am hits, our driver Vladamir (sp?) is waiting for us outside to take us to the Baby House. We get there around 10am-ish. Jenn and Tony head up to get Giovanna all ready for the day, change her, feed her, that kind of stuff. While they are doing that, Xander and I are taking over the massive playground that the Baby House has. His favorites consist of the giant slide and the boat, which we aptly named the Pirate Ship. Soon, I'll be calling it the Black Pearl. My favorite is the Jungle Gym which I now call the ChillZone, and Xande calls it the ChillOn. Seeing as this playground is semi-old, Xander finds his way to the termite infested wooden toys, which are basically broken. Im pretty sure he does this because it adds an element of danger for him, hes such a dare devil! Xander and I play for a little while, then Jenn and Tony take Giovanna outside to hang with her big brother, who she just adores! She gets upset when she can't see him playing, its soooo cute! They hang with us for a while, then they go back in around 1130-1140am and Xander and I stay outside until Vladamir comes and gets us. We head back to the apartment, have lunch, do whatever, then Jenn and Tony head back for the second session. This is when I put Xander down for a nap. I just hang out, or do laundry, or clean up or whatever, sometimes Ill even take a nap, its sweet. Then Jenn and Tony get home around 415-430pm. This is usually followed by dinner and hanging out, then Jenn and Tony get to work. They usually finish up around 10-1030ish then its nightnight time!
Thats basically the gist of my day!

first post from KAZ!!!

Okay, so this is my first post from Kazakhstan!
It's been super hard trying to access the internet, you wouldn't believe how hard!
Anyways, I've been here for 5 days. Kaz is quite the place. Certainly different from the US. It really makes you appreciate what you have back at home, thats for sure!
I'm having a great time though! I chill with Hubba, aka Xander and Sue for the time that Jenn and Tony are at the Baby House. I went there today and Giovanna is the cutest little girl! oooh man, she has brown hair and the craziest gray-blue eyes! gorgeous! Mamas lock up your sons, Giovanna is heading back to the US and she's a man-eater!

Welp, thats all I have for now, but I'll try and update as much as I can as soon as I can!
