Finally!! What you all came to see!!!











Thank you all for your patience! Now please be patient once again. We are soooo tired but wanted to get a few pictures up for all of you who have been following us. We see that so many of you have left us mesages and we will try to be more interesting tomorrow. We have many more pictures and Some absolutely great stories but today I will leave it at pictures and a paragraph.
2 quick items we would like to share to show how Gods hands have been upon us. Today it is exactly nine months from the time we signed our papers with World Partners. That is very significant to Holly and I and we do not believe it to be a coincidence. Also the Baby house director told us that out of all their children only 2 would not sleep last night which they found very unusual. any guesses as to which ones it was????? She said it was as if they knew we were coming and were too excited to sleep. By the end of our visit today they both were ready for a nap but they both came straight to us as if they had known us all along. When the caretakers came to check on them (and us) they could not even get the babies to acknowledge their presence. they only had eyes for us.
I wish I could tell you more because there is so much more to tell but we will leave it for another day.
Thank you all for your support and prayers. We miss you all but wouldn't miss this for the world. Again I will try to post more tomorrow.
Love Sam, Holly, (Bolat) Andrew, & (Alia)Elizabeth

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL...What more can I say. Was up most of the night looking then was gone when you got on...Holly, they asked about you at Martha's today, I had coppied yesterdays blog and took it in. Martha didn't get to see it, Bill took it home with him I think. You both look as beautiful as Bolat and Alia, a glow all around...
Your Mom had asked me to give your blog address to Linda but she left yesterday on her big trip.
We are all ears when you feel like sharing...I don't want to get off, but don't want to ramble either. I had told someone I couldn't wait to hold them, feel them and smell them..thanks Sam for
telling us that. Love Mom

O MY!! I am speechless!!....

Andrew has grown so much! He looks so much older than the pictures we have here.

Elizabeth is beautiful, she looks so inquisitive. ( I had to point out to Nanny that she is being introduced to her grandparents in the picture)

Thanks for staying up, tired and giving us these pictures. They are precious! Emily and Whitney will be terribly disappointed to miss this. I have taken your new family picture and created the BEST wallpaper for our computer. So you will be the first thing they see tomorrow night!

Lots of Love
Lots of Prayers

Just thought I would drop by and see what you two have been up to. Another slow, uneventval day huh? When you two finally get around to doing something interesting please let me know. I must admit that the first leg of your trip (out of Barkley) sounded more like an episode of Seinfeld than the first part of an amazing life milestone. But oh how it has picked up. Great to see that "yeah this is what it's all about" smile on both of your faces. Keep us as current as possible. BTW Sam, I took the liberty of starting a small to do list for you when you get back home. Wanted Andrew and Elizabeth to get a true sense of what home will be like. TRY TO GET SOME REST!

Sam and Holly. Hola! Greetings. Hurrah for your successful trip to Kazakhstan to meet Bolat and Alia, learn to instantly love them, and then make the final claim. The children are charmers. I think they look like you folks! You are in a remarkable place with so much to absorb of another culture. I'm enjoying the photos and your commentaries. As we Episcopals say, Peace Be With You. Love, Gayle
