We are here!!!!

Stacey here,
The past few days have been a whirlwind. I cant even begin to tell everything that has happened. But it all pales in comparison to meeting our son. He is wonderful and amazing and everything we had hoped for. I cry every time I think about it. He is adorable with longer eyelashes then either Dewey or I. And the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen. So far his favorite toys are the little cars we brought. Dewey is pretty proud of that :) We get to see him two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon every day. The time flies while we are there. Today was our third visit and he went to "papa" without crying. We are told its a big deal since he has never seen or been around men. He is very small but walks and seems very smart. He fell asleep while I was holding him today. It felt like heaven..
We can only get online from an Internet cafe. So we are working out the kinks in how to upload pics. Hopefully we will be able to soon. We are here with two other families adopting. Its made it a lot easier on us having others to talk and share things with. There are very few people here that speak English. Our translator is wonderful. She is with us every day during our visits. She took us to the big store here in Kyzylorda. Its about the size of Todd's market. But it has most everything you need. We brought bread and cheese for me. We cant seen to get the water thing down. We cant drink the tap water so we keep trying to buy bottled but end up with carbonated water. Maybe tomorrow we will get it right.
We will check in soon.
Miss you all!!!!!!!!

You have worked so hard for this. I hope you're writing everything down. I'm dying to hear the details.

Lots of love and prayers from Mom, David the boys and the staff at Winborn El.
