It is Embassy day! In just an hour or so, Noelle and I will head over to the U.S. Embassy with the rest of the families, to process the paperwork for Noelle's visa and her application to become a U.S. citizen. She will not actually become a citizen until we touch down in New York-- the immigration officials there will finalize everything.. But by the time she hits the Southern State Parkway, she will be an American (keeping her Kaz citizenship too, until she is 18).. Next step: paying taxes and voting!
This will be our last post from Almaty-- we fly out tomorrow morning at 4am, and (barring any delays) will be home at approximately 1pm EST. We cannot wait to get Noelle home!!

So much to celebrate. Elephant here is doing a dance to celebrate and Snuffy is attacking elephant to continue the celebration. And now elephant is being thrashed from side to side in a show of pure enthusiasm for Noelle coming home.
Congratulations—it's a reality now, you're bringing home your beautiful baby girl. Love the photo of the three of you. Hope your flight back is a smooth one.
Safe journey,
Karen
