We had a brief visit with Emma today. I posted a couple of photos of her playing. I also posted a picture of the baby house kitchen. Like the rest of the baby house, it was clean and organized. As we left the baby house, a heap of snow dropped right in front of us. A bit startled, we looked up and saw a young man on the roof shoveling off snow that landed right in front of the entrance. Another of today’s sights was the lady with the dog in the snowsuit. We’ve seen her before, and I think I posted a picture of her on one of the early posts, but I swear the doggy had a different outfit on today. It seems even the canines in this former capital city have fashion sense.
After the baby house visit, we went to the law offices to do paperwork, to the notary, then back to the law offices, and to the notary again! Then we made a final trip to the Ramstore to get the candy we promised to bring to the boys. That left packing and blogging (or in Jim’s case, napping) for these last few hours in Kaz. One of these photos is the view from our apartment that I took as I was putting off the packing part.
In a way, we’re both glad that Emma is too young to understand that we’re leaving again today. We wish there was something we could do to speed up this process. Anyone who knows me well knows that I’ve tried just about everything I can think of to control, influence, or at least understand this process. I’ve finally come to the realization that we are not the ones coming to get Emma, but that she is being given to us. Now we have nothing to do but try to patiently wait to receive this most precious of gifts.

It has been such a long journey, but Emma is so worth it. The next few weeks will fly by. Soon it will be time to plan Emma's homecoming celebration! What a wonderful day that will be!!!!
Love to you all,
Jamie, Lynne, Lea & Carlee
The next time you fly east will be to bring Emma home!!!
It looks like you are at BH3 - we adopted our son from there in January. Thank you for the photos, some days we miss it, believe it or not!
Prayers go out to you for these next weeks to fly and for all of the paperwork processing to go smoothly.

Anne - I believe you have hit the nail on the head when it comes to making peace with the Kaz adoption process. It is hard but so healthy. Emma will be home with you very soon!
