We picked up Krysta

We now have Krysta. We went to the baby house with our gifts for the caretakers, director and doctors - along with our donations of clothes and toys. The doctor that was in charge of Krysta gave a speech blessing us and hoping for happiness for us. We gave them our gifts (the director, 2 doctors the 'group' caretakers and the isolation room caretakers. We were able to buy a cake for the group caretakers, while the others got gifts accordingly.
Krysta has been in a very happy mood since we brought her home. We had her laughing alot!! She ate very well, almost attacking the juice when we gave her the bottle. She did attack the bedtime feeding of formula. Right now, she is sleeping. She fights going to sleep. It took a while, but she dosed off.
Our flight to Almaty is at 3 AM - that's right, 3 AM!!! Who flies at that time of the morning? So we will take a nap and get ready to be picked up at 1 AM. Oh, it SNOWED today. Just a little light stuff at first, but at dinnertime, it was coming down pretty heavy. It was the big, fluffy stuff at night. It looked nice and almost blizzard like at times. It has stopped now, so we should still be good to fly out tonight.
- Next stop, Almaty.
