June 16 - one week to go!

Hi everyone - we're still in packing phase, and enjoying the slower pace. Things are really coming together! I've been emailing with a family in Ottawa who arrived in Almaty a couple of days ago and will hopefully meet their little one tomorrow. We're thinking of ya Pam and Grev! Pam has mentionned a few other Canadian families who are adopting from Almaty right now, and we're looking forward to meeting everyone!

We've also confirmed our house-sitter, which is wonderful. Nick will be at the house and keeping our cat entertained, I'm sure! Thanks a lot Nick, it is a huge load off our minds to know you'll be at the house!

Have a great week!
take care,
N&P

Congrats on your upcoming trip! How exciting! We are from Toronto and adopted our son from Almaty Region (Karakastek BH) 2 years ago. Spent 9 weeks in Almaty. It is a wonderful city......a cultural experience! Sounds like you will have lots of Canadian company - how cool! 'Almost' makes me want to go back :-) We are going to have to arrange an anuual Canadian/Kaz get together!
