Safe and Sound in Almaty

Well...the good news is Gina made it to Almaty safe and sound. She missed the July 4 medical appointment because her plan was late, but Hayden is scheduled to go to the doctor's on July 5 in the morning. Then it will be a mad rush to get all the documents to the embassy by noon. If she misses the deadline....who knows what will happen.

It ends up the back up plans were thrown out the window. The hotel she wanted to stay in was booked, and the escort in Almaty put her in an apartment near the embassy. She & Hayden are sharing the apartment with Annie and Lily. There are no cribs, so she had to make a crip out of turning a coffe table on its side, two walls, and the suitcase. She then threw down a comforter, and plopped Hayden down. He slept throught most of the night, so it worked. I guess this is the last test. If she passes, she and Hayden get to come home.

The local news channel is going to wait to air our story until they get some coverage of me and Spencer meeting Gina and Hayden in Boston. The Boston CBS station liked the story so much, they are going to air it as well. I guess we'll get our 15 minutes of fame on both costs. (okay, maybe 30 seconds). They said it will most likely air on Monday, July 10 or Tuesday July 11...we'll probably see it in Boston before we do in Sacramento.
