Hey Chris and Zhanna-
Didn't get to wish you luck on your trip yet- but know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend with your lengthy travel Itinerary. May you have a fun journey and meet wonderful and helpful people.
God bless you both,

You know you are in our prayers. Hope the long trip is easy. I bet Zhanna is a trooper. Post as soon as you can!

Hi Chris: This is my first blogging experience.Your computer/camera skills are much more advanced than mine. I looked thru your blog from your first trip. You are a brave woman! Zhanna is beautiful. I can't wait to see her new sibling. I am sure traveling so far with an energetic almost 3 yo, will create many interesting stories. love, robB
testing.....
I couldn't write a comment before...
It is 10 pm saturday nite.. it must be around 8 am sunday morning... I am assuming you are in almaty headed for Karaganda>
Can't wait to read your first blog!
Give us all details!
Kim
I guess no news is good news???
I have checked your blog almost 10 times today hoping for some news. I am calculating the time over there in my head to guess where you are in the trip. ITs 6pm Sunday here so its about 5am there on Monday. So you probably will be going to Karaganda Monday your time. So, one more day till we 'mee' the newest Kaz baby. How did Zhanna do on the trip?
Christine, I wake and go to sleep thinking about where you are. I know the route, I just hope it was a good trip.

Like CS4, I am sitting here on Sunday evening calculating the time in Karaganda, thinking that you will be going to Shapagat in just a few hours. It brings back so many good memories -- I met Arman there on a Monday morning...
My thoughts are with you and Zhanna as you prepare to meet the newest member of your family. Hope you had a good trip and are enjoying the Dostar Alem. Looking forward to reading all the details and seeing photos.
Cindy
well you should be there by now. good luck tomorrow. can't wait to see your pics soon.
dee

FROM CHRISTINE TODAY "We are having a great deal of difficulty with the blog--can't get it
back to english. We are here, happy and healthy with a little sister
named Medina (for now). She is 11 months old, Kazak and very healthy.
Zhanna was "so sad to leave her today"--so far might "want to take her
home". Still trying for pictures..."
thank you, Uncle Paul, for posting the update from Christine. What wonderful news...
cindy
Congratulations on finding a sister for Zhanna! Can't wait to see pictures of her!
Pam
yeah a baby sister! can't wait to see pictures!!
so glad to hear that everyone is happy and healthy!!
Kim
Yea! Been checking every 2 hours for news-it makes one feel they are back there again.
Cant believe Zhanna's been home for 2 years, Chloe for 1, Caden for 8 mos and Vika for 1 1/2 years.
So glad you are there safe and sound and have met your newest daugther. Glad Zhanna has been good. How is your mom doing? Cant wait to see Medina's photo.
Congrats on your daughter Christine. Sisters are so special. I hope you get your blog worked out soon and we get to see a pic of your beautiful daughter(s)
Woo hoo! What news! I'm thrilled for you and Zhanna and dying for more details like everyone else. :) Kim and I can't check blogs from work, so it's a bit of torture.
