Gotcha day!!

We had court this morning and we got her!! We also got the immediate execution. That means we can start our journey home tomorrow with her. First a short stop in Almaty, then a long flight home. See you all soon!!!


Gotcha day
- I’m sure Mike has already posted that court went well, so I’ll not go into that. After court, we took the translators, drivers and Olga out to lunch at Kamelot. It was very nice and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. In a little while, we must go sign some papers then we will visit Krysta. We will not “take” her today because it is supposed to get very cold tonight and no heat yet. Also, there is no crib here.
Masha heard me coughing and sneezing at lunch and tole me I really shouldn’t visit Krysta. I’m going to go, just not be really kissy. That’s more difficult than it sounds - because when I’m with her I just can’t resist the chubby cheeks and soft skin on her neck. She’s very kissable.
Since everyone didn’t arrive on time to sign the paperwork, so we completed the paperwork late so our visitation overlapped with the Sarvers. We had visitation together for the 1st and perhaps only time. The girls seemed to enjoy having each other and we certainly enjoyed having Daaren and Crystal there as well.
Tomorrow we deliver the gifts and donations and bring the baby back to the apartment. Our flight to Almaty leaves at 10:00 PM - oh well - that’s something that’s beyond our control. We’ll let you know how that goes. We probably won’t post again until Thursday.
