Return flights booked.

The only thing new and exciting over the past two days is that we booked our return flights home. We will be leaving Kostani on Sunday the 9th. We will have to stay in Astana until Tuesday morning for the next available flight. We are glad that we will get to see another city in Kazakhstan but we are so ready to get home. When we land we will have been off US soil for 72 days. It’s funny because on the return trip we gain 10 hours of time so we actually leave on Tuesday morning and arrive in DC that evening. It makes it seem like it’s a short flight bet we know better.

Today when we visited Sophia we noticed that she has a fake cough. If she hears one of us cough she too has to imitate it. It’s so cute. I guess we really need to start watching what we say and do since we will soon have a little copy cat around.
This picture is for Tara. We knew you would love it.

great pics!!! Congrats on getting that return flight booked. yeah-it seemed weird to me too that we left Kaz on the same day we arrived home. It's a loooong way for sure. :)

It's a long journey but certainly worth every second plus more! :)

I love when they start to mimic. Inevitable it will be when you least expect and you will totally crack up laughing! However before you laugh you will ask your self did they just do what I think they did? It is amazing!

Her future's so bright, she's gotta wear shades!

It will feel soooo good to be home. I just wish Sophia could come with you, too.

Wow the end of this saga is nearing the end, and little Sophia's life in the USA is almost ready to begin! The countdown is on!
I love the picture of Sophia and the "shades"
