Just a few words to let you know that we arrived safely here in Karaganda on Saturday morning after spending the night in Almaty airport. The airport's elegance cannot be overestimated.
We are in a 1 bedroom apartment in Karaganda with our own cook and cleaning lady!
We went to the baby home today (Monday) and met a little baby boy. He looks like he is in pretty good shape. He is alert and interested in the world. We got the chance to feed him. He was very serious when we first met him, but after an hour or so we got him giggling and playing quite nicely.
For various reasons, we expect to be moving in about a week from our current apartment.
We don't have a cell phone yet, but are hoping to get one soon. You can reach us for now via email.
The time difference is that we are 10 hours ahead of Ottawa time.
Beware that we only have dialup internet access at this time.

A cook AND a cleaning lady AND a giggling child! I am worried that you won't come back. . .
I infer that you made it past the German thunderclouds, but what is it like there?
Congratulations Monika and John! I am so excited that you have arrived safely and have already met your baby boy. I really loved reading all of your posts to date as it brought me right back to when we were first arriving and the excitement and trepidation of everything. We cannot wait to see pictures of your little one or to meet him in person when you get back and are settled in. Once again if there is anything that you need done here please know that you can count on us. Pam xoxo
