Tokmok

Today we went to Tokmok to visit with Ruby and Lynn Johnston from LAMb International. To my suprise Jayne Schooler was also there. We had coffee, tea, and great conversation . It was so nice to finally meet them and pray with them.

On our way back to Bishkek we stopped at the Burana. For more history, go here: http://www.fantasticasia.net/?p=132. It was really cool!!!





As usual our visit at the BBH was not nearly as long as I would like. When it was time to go our driver/translator came in and said, "Are you read?" Well duh! That was a stupid question. I told him no :) I think I threw him off a bit, and he said, "Well, we have to go." Sad time :( I cannot wait until he can be home and I can love on him forever!!!

On Donna's last trip she brought a photo book with our pictures in it for A. Of course when I asked if he still had it in his crib they had no idea where to find it. Took them a few days, but they finally found it and we looked at it today. A was mostly obsessed with his daddy's picture!

Oh, that pic of A standing up - with that sweet little grin - is awesome. The way he is looking at the camera is so expressive. It's easy to see how he's already got you wrapped around his teeny tiny little finger!
