This is the first chance I've had to write. We went to the Baby House to pick up Cameron at 12:45 yesterday. The plane was late, so we waited at the Baby House for about an hour before leaving for the airport.

At the airport, we waited in the "VIP" lounge until it was time to board the plane. When we got on the plane, we saw there weren't very many people, so we spread out across the seats in front of us.

The flight was once again very smooth and Cameron was great. In fact, he started to nod off as the plan was landing in Kochestau!

As the plane was getting ready to take off again, about 10 young men cam on board who were in high spirits. They each had a "Juicy" box. Something tells me there wasn't just orange juice in those boxes. We were afraid we were in for a rowdy flight. But within minutes of take-off, they had all fallen fast asleep.

Cameron fell asleep too, and slept for a good 40 minutes. Everything was smooth and we taxied into Almaty at 7:45 p.m.

A couple kind gentlemen helped us get our bags, both onto the shuttle and also to the parking lot. At the parking lot, our eyes searched for the familiar face of Dimash from the lawyers' office. We did not see him. We began to be concerned, standing with all our luggage, Cameron and men asking us in Russian if we needed a taxi.

After what seemed the longest amount of time, but was actually only about five minutes, Dimash cam dashing up. Behind him was Marat, our driver. They had been stopped by the police.

Marat drove us to our apartment, which is very nice. It's different than the first one. It has a good sized kitchen, living room, bedroom, and separate bathroom. Marat returned after taking Dimash home so we could go to the Ramstore.

Tom bought some food and water so we could have dinner and breakfast.

We had a playpen for Cameron to sleep in. He had some trouble adjusting to his new surrounding so he couldn't sleep and Mama and Daddy couldn't go to sleep either. I kept trying to hear him breathe.

Tom finally laid down on the floor next to the crib and Cam and I got some sleep.

We had breakfast this morning and Marat picked us up at 10:40 a.m. to go to the medical clinic for Cameron to get his physical. Cam got a clean bill of health and the doctor told us that there was no way some of the medical diagnoses could be correct.

Everyone was impressed by how active Cam is.

In the waiting room, we ran into Denise, Scott, and Alma, and Connie and Marina. Cam and Alma were so cute together. Cam gently reached out and took Alma's hand as he smiled at her. We have a very outgoing and sweet boy. Maybe even a bit of a flirt.

Jim Harding was also there and took a group picture of us.

From there we went to get a picture taken for the visa and then to the Ramstore.

Cameron had started getting sleepy at the medical clinic and he was completely asleep by the time we arrived at the apartment. We took him straight out of his Snugli and put him in his crib. And he slept for over an hour.

Cam's nap gave us time to have a quiet lunch together. He woke a short time later and has had us going ever since.

I gave him a sponge bath and left him in just his diaper so he could enjoy being cool.

We are going to the US Embassy tomorrow for our interview, so Cam can get his US Visa. Once that is done, we'll be completely paper ready to go home.

We hope to meet the Kents for dinner tomorrow.
