Were home!

It has been a long time since I have wrote anything. We have been on a big roller coaster since we left Bishkek. The crossing was anything but fun. Then when we got to the hotel I could not blog anymore. Something happened to it & it just would not let me in.


So do you want to know what happend after we left Bishkek?


Well the drive over there was very nice. Burt & Gem, & us were in the same van. The other two familes were in there own cars. Like I said the drive was nice & then we got to the border & all things changed. Apirl's car went through first & she got out of her car & went in. Well to say that was the last we saw her was true until it was all done. Then the arm went up again & the other two cars went in, us being one of them. So we got out of our van & walked inside. Terry & I were first in line so we went first. They looked at our papers & let us go. So we waited for the others. Well that was not what we should have done because the cop came up to us & took her passport from us. That scard me just a little because he went out of sight. Well he took it back over to the desk & they started all over again.


After they got done with all our familys we had to walk over to the Kazakhstan. The best way to tell you what that was like is to say that it is like walking over to Mexico. You walk across the bridge & there are so many people over there. It was like being in a mall at Chistmas - so many people - & I don't like being in that kind of thing. So it was hard on us. We walked into this place that was full of people & our coordinator told us to follow him. We pushed to the very front of this line of people that had been there for a while. There was no air in there & it was very hot, but they got one of our familes done. Then it was our turn. We got almost done when he grabbed the family behind us & took them to another line. That made some people in the other line very mad at them. Anyway that man went to the cops & tried to keep us from going into that country. He said that we were taking the babys. To say the least we were scard & that man would not give up. Finally they made them let us go & oh how good it felt to get out of there. Now I don't want you to think this happens to everyone, it just happend to us. Oh! we did find Apirl on down the road just like we all knew she would be, but some of us thought that she would be at the hotel by then. lol Well that is about our crossing it was very hard, but the babys were very good thru it all, just not us.


Now on to Destiny, she is the best baby ever. She loves to go in the car, she loves to fly, & likes her car seat, & boy does she like to sleep. Just a great baby!
Since we got home, she is never alone. The kids are always wanting to take her somewhere or just hold her. We thought that when we got home she would start to cry louder. Well that did not happen. She still cries very, very little. It sounds like a kitty cat or a whale call. The kids can't tell if she is crying or laughing. It is so cute.


This is a photo of all the kids looking at there new baby sister, she is so loved.

This is our very happy baby, she has grown since we were there but not too much. She can't sit up yet with out help but likes to be put up.

Everyday is a new day & everyday she learns something new. She has learned so much since we came home. Well I guess I will tell you about that next time.

I hope the wait was not too long. I did miss posting & I am so GLAD to be home.

Love ya all! Thank you for the prayers they were needed.
