Zhanna meets the Easter Bunny (again)!!
Nauryz, the Kazakhstan celebration of Spring is being celebrated this weekend, so the consulate (and everything else) will be closed. Our visa and other paperwork will not be able to be completed before next Tuesday, so we will be leaving on Friday, March 28. That gives us a bit more time to pack as well as panic!! Meanwhile, Zhanna has spent so much time with the Easter Bunny and had so many meals with him that she probably thinks he is a relative!! This is a photo of her at the Colonie Elks Club, where we had breakfast with many of her friends in the area who were also adopted from the same orphanage in Karaganda, Kazakhstan!!
Thanks for all the comments--they mean a great deal--and will mean a great deal more when we are overseas!!

Christine,
Oh I'm all fahrklepmt(sp?) reading your blog today. I went back and read all your comments and I'm just thrilled for you. I can't wait to get all the news of your journey and photo's of your new baby. Just the thought of your new baby waiting there for you is too much for my heart to handle today. In my mind's eye I can remember the rooms and all the babies there just waiting for a Mama. We will all be with you in spirit and prayer every step of the way. From one Kazak Mama to another, "Nastrovia!"
Hey, for some reason I tried to post a comment and it didn't show up...what gives?
I'm sending this one as a test.
Unfortunately, I can't sign in with a blogger name because when I do allthe text changes to Russian. Go figure? I don't knwo how that happened. I used to have an account...just don't know how it got changed into cyrillic. Very interesting....
Christine-- I will be thinking of you over the next few days.. Good luck in your journey, and I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family!

Hi Christine, It was very nice meeting you and your daughter at the playgroup at Heliena's house. We wish you the best on your trip and your new child that you will be adopting. I hope you are able to leave soon. Tammy
