And We're off...
Just less than 2 hours before we leave the house and head to Boston for our flights this afternoon. Nurai we will be there soon sweetheart.
We arrive in Almaty Monday morning and a few hours later take a flight to Shymkent. By midday we should have reunited with Nurai and by afternoon, should be snuggly holed-up in a hotel room. Tuesday morning we will fly back to Almaty and begin our embassy exit paperwork and medical clearance. We will have a few days in Almaty and will fly home on Saturday 16 January.
There is of course much more to write about the emotional side of preparing to bring Nurai home and to finally be a full time family of four, but it will have to wait as time is short right now. Perhaps on the flights over I can capture a little of what we are feeling to post from Kaz. Take Care.

I am SO excited for you that you're nearing the end of your 2nd adoption journey and soon will be a complete family! There's nothing better than that!
Can't wait for Nurai to be home and play in the snow too! Safe travels and happy reunion with your daughter.
Very much looking forward to reading about the reunion.
Safe travels.
Best, Pam and Nicholas
So happy for you that you are on the final leg of your journey! When we picked up Cole from the Shymkent baby house a strange care giver brought him out handed him to us and disappeared. We went in the office of the director signed a piece of paper and were out of there. Not one caregiver came to say good by to him, it was kind of sad in a way. Have a safe trip.

I wanted to wait to post until I can write "NOW YOU'RE In KAZ!" Yay yay yay! I am picturing you in the waiting hall in Almaty and it brings tears to my eyes. I was there two months ago and as I type my perfect little princess is dancing to my Ipod and asking for "BANANA". Enjoy this magical time! xo Andrea & Anelya
