• We are on our way home!

  We went to the U.S. Consular’s office today and obtained Allison’s visa to enter the U.S.  We will be leaving Almaty at 3:30 am and arriving at Dulles at 3:45 pm.   It has been a long journey, but we are almost home.  Allison is sleeping while I write this last posting from Almaty.   Our bags are packed and I only have to fix her bottles.  I have four bottles, but I don’t know if that will be enough until we get home.  If not, I’ll have to figure out how to wash one of her bottles.  Hopefully a restaurant in the Frankfort airport will help us out.

   

  While we were at the U.S. Consular’s office, there were three other families there obtaining visas for the babies they  had adopted from Kazakhstan.  At least 3 of us will be on the flight from Almaty to Frankfurt!  It could be an interesting flight!

   

  We had a lazy, but good day today.  I think if we stayed in Almaty a few more days, we would be able to establish a schedule.  Allison took a nap at 10am for 3 hours and another nap at 4:30 on for 1.5 hours.  It looks like bed time is about 9:30pm and she wakes up about 7am.  Who knows what’s going to happen during the 24 hours plus we will be traveling.  Hopefully it will not take us long to set a routine once we are home.

   

  That’s it for now.  I’ll do another posting after we arrive home.  See everyone soon.
