Off we go to Almaty...

This is what happened the minute we got on the plane on our way to Almaty.



Our sleepy baby fell asleep before the plane took off and slept until we landed almost 2 hours later! We are hoping this is a good sign for how our 20 something hour flights will go...ha,ha,ha!


Madi is like a queen in her throne at the Intercontinental Hotel in Almaty!
She is her usual happy self. So far, so good. Not one tear has been shed. She started to get a little cranky after the flight and before we got to the hotel. We fed her a bottle of formula right in the car! She was happy as can be after that. Yes, Madi fits right into our crazy and busy lives!



Can you believe it...Madi is crawling already! We discovered it while Alex wsas playing with her on the bed at the hotel. We are in for one wild ride! I wonder what Sam and Kiara are going to do when they see her. For those of you who don't know, Sam and Kiara are our 90 something pound labradors! What I am wondering is, who should be more afraid of who? Sam and Kiara, if I were you, I'd enjoy your last few days of peace and quiet!
It's been an incredible day!!!!! One of the happiest days of our lives!
I gotta go spend some time with "my girls" now.
See you tomorrow.

It is so great that she slept through the entire plane ride! She is no doubt very happy and content, so she was able to relax!

Congratulations!

I'm so thrilled to see your all finally together as a family. There is no better feeling in the world. Can't wait to see little Maddie in sunny Miami in a bathing suit in December! Hope the rest of your journey is safe, healthy, and uneventful. Good luck on the long journey home.

Lots of love,

Lizette, Jose
I checked in to see how you are doing and have to say-seeing you all in the babyhouse together brought a tear to my eye. I remember how we would talk during the visits and the only thing missing was Alex. To see you with both your girls together is beautiful. Please give Madi a big kiss for me and Sabina.
