Return to Kaz

We are finally heading back to Astana on Wednesday at 2pm!! It has been so hard being away from our little lovebug. Most of you know by now, but Tim and I moved to Florida this weekend. We are now living near Tim's family. Max will get to grow up with his Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt's and Uncles and cousins. It was a good decision all around. Maybe even Max will one day like to scuba dive like Tim and his Dad and brothers. We are so excited to go back. We arrive on Thursday around midnight and pick up Max at the baby home on Friday morning. There will be a big 'goodbye' party for Max so his caretakers and doctors can see him one last time. Then we fly to Almaty where we wait for our US Embassy appointment on Monday morning. We have to hang around a couple more days waiting for a SOS clinic and then we head home. We hope to update the blog while we are there, but we know this might not be possible. The great thing is we have Max full time forever on Friday! We can't wait to do simple things like feeding him, bath time, play time even watching him sleep.
I wanted to mention that we had two nice baby showers in the past couple of months. (one in California and one in Colorado) If you got us some pink clothes, don't worry. If you gave us receipts, we exchanged them for cute boy outfits, if you didn't we are taking them back with us as part of our donation to the baby home along with some bottles and other items. They will go to good use! Please continue to pray for a safe journey for us. We are so thankful for everything that God has done for us!

Congratulations on returning to get your little guy forever!!

I'm wondering where in FL you moved to. I'm on the Panhandle closer to AL than Jacksonville.
