One more night...

One more day..... Whew, what an experience this has all been.... We are one day away to finalizing everything then getting on a plane... everything for the most part has been smooth, a couple annoying events/glitches Right now is Tuesday evening 6:30 (about 5:30 a.m. your time), we are in Almaty, Kazkhstan for one night. We woke up at 4:30 a.m. to leave Bishkek for a 4 hour bus ride to Almaty, come to find out that we have single entry Visas to Kyrgz (my first annoying snag) luckily it all worked out & we were able to get a Visa at the Kyrgz embassy in Almaty, but a stress that we really didn't need )... anyway had to vent.... We arrived in Almaty at 10 a.m. and we went right to the medical center for Riannon's medical check up, all was well- she's had a little bit of a cough this week, & they said her Respritatory level was a bit elevated- but it was okay (I'm thinking another seasonal asthma child :0 Then we ran around getting our Kyrgz Visa so that we can get on our flight Thursday.... Tomorrow the plan is to go to the American Embassy where we will have an interview and process Riannon's paperwork & issue her Visa..... Then back to Bishkek for our last night to come home... We are ready... we are missing everyone, especially Grant & Brett... Riannon is pretty mild tempered- she's getting a bit spoiled, being held and sleeping in our bed (the Hyatt only had 2 cribs & our other 2 friends got them first) which is okay for now... The week home we will be working on getting her on a schedule as I am going back to work on the 18th... lots of changes and MGFK work to do... Angela has really held down the fort... I am so grateful, but I know I'll have to catch up :-) Well, little Miss thing is starting to fuss- time for dinner...... We will see you all when we get back... Thursday at 8:00 p.m. is our flight, my mom has all the flight info.... Love you all & thanks for your comments- they keep us going through this emotional, but worth every bit of it time.......

Don't know if you will see this before you leave...but I am glad that you have her and things for the most part is going well. Definitely want to hear everything the good and the bad. See you when you get home. Love you.

It's me again. Natasha at Frank said that the original instructions you were given about visas were the instructions we were given to us by the Krgyz embassy. They are calling again to see what is going on and to clarify the instructions. Sorry, but I am glad you all were able to straighten everything out.
