Final hours before leaving...

This will be our final post before leaving. It might be a few days before we're email contact again -- will be staying in Amsterdam for a few days, and arriving in Kokshetau on the 20th. Yesterday was a mix of flurried activity and relaxed visiting with friends. All the preparations have been made that can be made, and there's nothing left to do but get on an airplane.

I'm starting to get excited now...

I also just got an email from a couple who's in Kokshetau/Tchuchinsk now. We may see them for a time when we're there, or not. Their daughter, Nina, is in Mia's playgroup.

Uh, oh... emergency... Tucker just got up and can't find something very important...
