odds-and-ends from the first three months
Hello everyone. I have bought our tickets and we will travel up to Khojand on Saturday to move into our new (temporary) home. We thought we would post some random photos from our frist three months that did not make it into any previous posts.

And here she is walking past the bears...
Back in September, we went for a hike in the mountains outside Dushanbe...
Self portrait...
We met some Germans cyclists that day who had biked from China. Crazy...
I also took a couple of trips out into the villages where you can see scenes like these...

Here are a few hundred sheep trying to find shade in this canyon...
A hike up onto a hill outside of the city shows what the neighborhoods look like from above...
Here is Ella learning a little Tajik from our teacher...
This is just to prove that she is finally growing hair...
Thats all for now. Next time you hear from us will probably be from up in Khojand.
Oh, one more thing for Christmas: http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1157883628

Love it... once again! It makes me both happy and sad to see pictures of Ella! I really wish I could just pick her up and play with her, but I'm also SO encouraged to see what all HE is doing (and will do)in your lives there.
By the way, your use of the word "underwhelmed" (with the zoo experience) cracked me up!
Keep those videos of (the cutest baby girl)coming! =)
Love ya!
