we are here in Almaty

I am not posting any pictures because we are having some problems with the computer. the hotel staff is very helpful, I just can't seem to get the internet to connectto our computer. this is when I wish I had my friend Doug B here.
Anyway we had a great day, Ivan slept all night and woke up happy. we left at 1:00pm for Almaty and arrived saftly at 3:30. I haven't told you all this but we have the best little boy ever. He was so good on the plane, played with his toys, we thought her was going to take a nap but he chose not to. To many new things to look at. We have a very nice hotel, we are in a very nice room because they are very busy, so we are moving to a new room tomorrow. I'll take pictures of our room it's great!!! Ivan said some english words...More...hot...we think bus. can you believe it we were shocked when I asked him to say "more" and he did.And when Paul asked him he said it again. Ivan is sleeping again and fell right to sleep Paul tried singing to him and he started to laugh so Paul had to stop. We went out to dinner with him for the first time and he did so well, he sat the whole time, ate all his dinner.. the boy eats everything. We had a great day. We will be going to the embassy tomorrow morning at 9:30 to see the doctor and then we hope to go again on monday and fill out the rest of the paperwork and then on our way home. Thanks for all your prayers we have really felt them and have been lifted up!!! Talk to ya again soon.
