These are from Wednesday the day we left the Baby House. Poor baby was so hot under all of those layers they insist on. Much happier once she was stripped down in the apartment. Beehet is amazing. She came by last night to tell me we are leaving for Almaty on Sunday. She already made our appointment with the US clinic for Monday morning. Then we have some other US Embassy interviews and paperwork and then home!!! I don't have the day confirmed but thinking we will be home on Wednesday the 7th. Can't believe it. Only 2 more days in this apartment.
Maya has been doing well. She is sleeping a ton, wakes up, snaps her head around - what the hell? I'm still here? Then she looks at me, scrunches her eyebrows, oh yeah, I know you. ok. She must be feeling insecure because (like my dogs) she is following me everywhere. We tried to go out last night for dinner with Elise - Maya's first dinner date - but not a chance. She started screaming when I went to get my boots on. I don't really know what happened but that was the end of our outing. Probably too much on the first day home.
Internet connection has been unreliable again. I don't know if I will have any in Almaty. So this may be the last entry until we get home. The trip home should be interesting. 7 hr flight from Almaty to Frankfurt, 7 hour layover in Frankfurt, and 10 hour flight home. Good Lord.

Have a good flight Sunday. Almaty is nice. Be forewarned you will be charged for airport ride again both ways and is slightly higher than Astana. If you feel adventureous ask to go the georgian restaurant as it has good food and not the restaurant with the cool aquariums as they have No highchairs, thus you end up holding child, which makes for lovely meal :). Frankfurt, FYI has only one store, upstairs, that sells diapers so take alot with you as they are a little high. Best of luck to you two and I can't wait for you all to get home to share you adventure with all of you friends and family. Let me guess, Baheet tied the scarf?? Looks like a professional Kaz knot to me. Gena
Kimberly! Hope you enjoy your last couple of days, and that they go by quickly. With any luck, we'll have a beautiful, warm, sunny Denver day to welcome you and Maya home... and then we'll be anxiously waiting for you to settle in so we can all come visiting! Best of luck, and safe travels. Kristen, Jeff, and Joey
Hi there! I just wanted to thank you a ton for your blog. I do have a question for you! I am using CAI, and we just submitted our dossier two weeks ago; we are requesting a girl under 12 mos. I was wondering how much baby stuff you took...clothes, food, diapers, toys--I know everyone says you can get a lot of it there too, but I figured it would be cheaper here. Just wondering!!! I would love to get any info from you; my email is sjmrun@yahoo.com.
