Only a few more days until he is home
Hello everyone,
Well we have finished the medical exam and he was very good, even when they drew blood. They cheked him out and he is doing pretty well. He does have one hernia that will need to be looked at right away and he needs to grow a lot, but hey he has come a long way from the 800g he weighed at birth! Melissa, thanks for letting me know about Mrs. Garry's baby. I love the name Ava. I have a new neice named this.
Emerson is handling the traveling like a true champ, and Jean his is a lot like Zack. He loves to be outside. So once we have failed to stop his crying, we take him for a walk outside and he calmes right down. He also loves mirrors and laughes when every he sees him self.
As for adaoption business, we have found out that somehow the Department of Homeland security did not send over our paperwork to the us Embassy so we are trying to contact them to get our paperwork faxed here. We have our Embassy appointment on Tuesday at 3pm, then we just wait for our red eye flight that leaves a 2:30am.
We also have found a great place to stay in Almaty. My Aunt Stephies friends that live here aranged a house for us to stay in next to them. It is very nice, and much more comfortable than the apartment we were in. The best part is it is free and we should be able to make some international calls from there. OK I think I hear the little man stiring.

Sounds like you are experiencing typical parenting experiences:-) Aren't you lucky that going outside is a good solution. Happy journeys'

WHAT!!!! Less than TWO POUNDS at birth!!!! GEEEEEEEEEEEEE...hurray for the growing kid!!! He's like the Miracle Baby for SURE!!! Google says 28.something grams per ounce...YIKES!!! But yes, find the calm down thing and stick to it...like car rides...hopefully the feeding is going better...leave it to the D.O.H.S. to not be there when you need them...and that the faxing will work!!! Hopefully your agency is there every step of the way to help!!! Does the return trip go back through Germany? Take your airborne, and hope for a light plane load, so he can have a seat to stretch out on!!! En-joy! The sun has once again appeared in Grant County, and a warm day predicted...bring back some heat from the lands of the rising sun.

we are praying for everything to come together right on time and we agree in prayer with eastoregonlady that there will be that extra seat for Emerson to stretch out in... that will make the trip sooo much easier, but then, hugging that boy all the way home ain't too bad either...
Love you and can't waitr til you fly in.. all your family here is thrilled..
LOve you all. three of you now..
Dad and Carol

Hi Karen! Just wanted you to know I have been following your journey. What a huge learning curve! I'm sure you are storing up many memories along the way, and that gives your little guy alegacy in and of itself. You guys are brave and will pass that characteristic along--I'm so glad he is doing well and will continue to do so under your loving watch and care. It's great you all get to come home together! --Judy Bieber
