Family


We had a wonderful time at Ron and Kay's wedding this weekend. It was great to catch up with family and see the new addition, baby Emery! Congrats Ryan and Jesi! It was also Anja's first wedding. She seemed to enjoy herself and had plenty of people willing to hold her. The photos below were taken right before we left for the wedding.


In other news, we're happy that Mark will be back from the Dominican Republic on the 13th of April! We're counting the days and are getting very excited to see him. In one of his last e-mails he pointed out some Kyrgyz videos on YouTube. They certainly took us back and made us laugh.

The Besh Barmak clip is a very typical local music video. Besh Barmak Clip. The Kyzyl Gul clip shows some very traditional cultural events. I feel bad that I can't remember the names, but the horseback games go back a long way. One of the games they are playing involves a goat carcass and the aim is to wrestle the carcass away from the others, all while on horseback, and throw it into the goal or ring of stones. Kyzyl Gul. If anyone can remember the names or add some details, please do so.

Oh, what a little peanut! Adorable!
I can't wait to hold her again. Thanks for putting this up. I have already printed a couple of these and will take them to school tomorrow. It will have to sustain me.

Love, Grandma Linda
