We're Home!!!

So, after a whirlwind trip we made it home on Saturday. It started with an evening flight to Almaty on Wednesday the 7th. We had our doctors appointment on Thursday. The kids' exit visas came in late that night. Our embassy appointment was scheduled for Friday at 2:30pm.
We spent a lot of time and energy Thursday night and Friday morning deciding if we should fly home as soon as possible at a higher cost and retain our sanity, or wait until Sunday at a lower cost but go completely crazy. We took the first choice and arranged a flight for Friday night at 11:05pm.
After 20 hours of flight time during a 24 hour trip we made it to Memphis on Saturday at 1:00pm. We had the best reception and a wonderful time catching up with everyone. And then we went to bed and slept.
