Ok, so we have to get in a little bit of fine motor time. I mean I am an OT you know!
Our favorite playground
Despite the crying face Adler really did love this ride. She even cried when she had to get off.HOOORRAAYYY! We finally received our shipping date! We leave for Almaty on Saturday night (7/18) around 11:40pm. We will be in Almaty through the following Wednesday and then leave for home on Thursday, July 23rd. We can’t tell you how excited we are and for our children to meet the rest of their family! Here are some of the things that we are most excited for our children and us to do:
Adler and Aidan:
Introduce them to their “forever” family and home with their new rooms (we have been showing them pictures and both know and point to their rooms by sight), walk in the grass barefooted, go to grandma’s and swim in the pool, ride the tractor and four wheeler, play with the dogs and the “kitty kitties,” ride the tricycles, and play with all their new toys (other than just the ones that fit into a suitcase).
Mama amd Papa:
See our family and friends, go to church, eat some “El Charros” Mexican food, drive to a destination at our own free will, sleep in our bed, play with the dogs, build a swingset/playground at the house, go camping, cook in the kitchen and on the grill, eat some steak and crab legs, go back to work (YEAH RIGHT).

Amazing the things we take forgranted and miss the most When you get home you are going to enjoy life so much more. We also can't wait for you all to be home. Love Mom & Dad
Aiden looks older with his handsome haircut. So glad you can see the end is near now and soon you will be home. But enjoy their birth country cause it is their heritage.
Oh my gosh, they are just beaming! Every day we see photos they unfold little by little - what a joy!
Hey Guys, There is such relief and excitement in your writing and we are so happy for you. They are beautiful! So, how is full-time parenting? Ours are 19 (going on 2) - just a joke - and 5, and I can't imagine it being any more demanding than having two of the same age. Lilliana is constantly tugging on us to play - which we love to do - but sometimes, you just have to empty the dishwasher, you know :) We look forward to having her a playmate. She asks for "him" a lot lately. Your children are so blessed to not only have you two but also each other. You will have to let us take you to dinner when we come through sometime soon. We would love to meet you ALL in person. (But we'll wait in line as I can see you have quite a family in line ahead of us:) It will be neat for Lilliana to actually meet the children she has been seeing in your photos all this time.
Congratulations and prayers,
The Hollands (Janie)
It will be so very good to have you back in the US!!! and even tho I live 8 hours away, I cannot wait to come and SEE Adler and Aiden!!!( and both of YOU) I love them so very much already and can't wait to start their musical training!!! Ha! Ha! singers they will be.....Love, MOM
Hope you had a happy birthday, Jessica! I know you're excited about coming home next week! It's been a long but worthwhile journey.
