The extent some people will go to to "Get Famous". . . . Yes, John and Anita have finally made it to pages of our "Get Famous" column. We are so excited for them to be in Kazakhstan! Last week they finally got the call that a potential child was ready for them in north Kazakhstan. Amazingly, they got their visa and everything ready so that they could be gone for six weeks, and we picked them up at the airport last night. (We were so pleased that the agency agreed for us to take care of them while they were in Almaty!)
They got to sample Central Asian food for lunch (lagman and monte) and Russian fare for dinner (pilmani, salad "Olivay", and beet salad). We were so delighted that one of our siblings finally made it to Kazakhstan, and even got to stay in our home before it was torn down!
They will be making their way north tomorrow to meet their child. They will have a cell phone on our system so we will be able to talk to them more frequently. They will need to stay in Almaty to complete paperwork for about a week in January so we look forward to our own chance to get to bond with our new nephew/cousin. . . Exciting times!
(For those who are watching the clock, sorry that I didn't get this posted last night. We were having internet issues!)

Wow! These people must be really brave to fly halfway around the world! You must have the greatest brother-in-law in the world!
PS The lagman was delicious.
