Thank you all for your comments and congratulations. Yesterday was our first full day with him and it was a busy day. We have always said that we expected him to have a hard time adjusting and well yesterday was a bit much for him. He woke up amazed to see us and it a great mood and he even went down for his first nap without a problem. Then came the 10:00 feeding of semolina that was not so effective. Mind you that the directions for mixing are in Russian and well I got it wrong and I think this made him a wee bit mad. Needless to say he slept 30 min for the next 2 hour nap, then the last one he proceeded to cry for two hours instead of sleep. Ah the learning curve is steep but hey he is still as adorable as ever. Hopefully we figured out a few of the kinks and we will do better today. Jean, John was pretty close to calling you yesterday for words of advice. I think you will be hearing from him much more often once I go back to work.
Well today is a big day for the Decker family. We are going to leave Uralsk today and head to Almaty. The best part (not) is that we get to take the red eye flight with a baby. This should be interesting. With that said, I will do my best to find a computer while in Almaty but there are no guarantees. If I can not I will update my sister by phone so that she can share our news with all of you. Also we will be on our way home this time next week.
To answer some questions from you comments: One, to all of my students and fellow teachers, I hope that you have a good last couple days of call. I miss you and I look forward to seeing you next year. To all of the substitute Grandmas we will have to get together once the jet lag wears off. Linda G. Yes we did leave the caregivers with a picture of Emerson and his new parents. We must send pictures every year until he is 18, so they will get to see how he is doing.
Ok, it will soon be time for the little boy to wake up so I am going to go and work a little harder at translating the directions for his second breakfast. If anyone has a baby instruction manual, our baby’s has been lost and we could sure use one.

Wow, you are in to it now. I thought semolina was a flour so I have no advice to give. A red eye flight might be good as he actually may sleep:-) We anxiously await your return. If there are no computers, Aunt Sharron you will have to keep the substitute Grandma's up to date, Some of them go into a dither when there is no news:-) All our love and best wishes for a safe journey home.
Love,
Jim and Beth
i hope you brought your baby wise book!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm baby 'cereal', not too thick, not too thin...has he started on the pureed fruits yet? Applesauce mixed in with the cereal might be good! Flight, bottle of formulae, bottle of juice! Where's that mouth 'plug' when you need it!!! That's what the stewardesses are trained for, to help you out...unless it's a tiny 'flying culvert' like Big Sky Airlines run!!! Well, no matter, by the time you see this, the flight will be over! Last day for kids, coldie out there, around 45 degrees and clouded in!!! Bath times are very relaxing, looks like you're already figured that out! En-joy this learning time, there will be MANY who will be happy to give THEIR advice on how to "raise him up"...just listen to your inner child! With peace and light around the family!

LOVE the pictures! He is so adorable! We are all really lookin forward to meeting him.
As for the baby cereal, it is all about the consistency!
Karon, you look like a natural holding him! John, he looks like a true river buddy. Can't wait to meet this bundle of joy.
