With only 2 1/2 days left until Tim leaves, word from Kazakhstan is Jacob has left the orphanage and is being cared for by Khibbia's Aunt, the same person who will escort the little man to Almaty to meet Tim. Jacob and his escort are ticketed on the overnight train, leaving Arkalyk Sunday and beginning a long journey towards home. They'll arrive in Astana Monday morning, take an afternoon flight to Almaty and check in to the hotel where Tim will meet them early, early Tuesday morning (his flight lands at 4:40 AM). After that, the escort will leave Jacob in the excellent care of his new Daddy.
I have a big pile of "stuff" for Tim to take with him.... and he thought he'd be traveling light! Included in the pile is a really large stack of paperwork needed to process Jacob through the U.S. Embassy to secure his entry Visa into our awesome country. His Visa allows him immediate citizenship when he touches down on U.S. soil. Very cool!
Last we saw Jacob, he was just beginning to take a few tentative steps. We've been told he now walks very well. Watch out JC! Speaking of JC, he heard me on the phone and demanded, in his 2 year old voice, he speak to "Khibbia in Kazakhstan". I put him on the phone with Khibbia and he asked "Are you bringing me my baby brother? I love him!". We'll see how much love he has when Jacob walks in and wants to play with everything JC considers his own! So far, JC insists he wants to share Abby Dog and Puppy with his new brother... I give it about an hour! :)
Tim leaves Sunday! We should have more to post soon! Thanks for following along!
We're so excited! Only 9 more days until Jacob is home!
