Departing Gallery--with more to come from the US

We've been in Almaty for nearly a week now, with very little Internet service. It's a beautiful European-style city, filled with trees and cafes. Jem's health is on the mend, though still in need of medical attention at home. We're all very tired. We're also finding our way into family life. We can't wait for our flight home in two days. We'll post an update after that...

Bon Voyage Buchbinder-Johnsons (all three of you!) That appears to be an increasingly happy little girl you have on your hands!

Can't wait to hear more when you are all back settled at HOME.
XOXO, Karen

Thanks for the last photos before leaving for home. You may be in the air or on the way to the airport now. We will keep the three of you in our thoughts and wish you well on your trip home!

AS you depart, think of what you are coming back to: a Presidential election, a sagging economy that so far is not bailed out, a beautiful New England fall, and a new life as parents. Jem will love it here and
she will have a loving family.
My best to all of you. Aunt Marilyn

We hope all is going well as you transition into life in Boston. We understand how crazy this new time home is, but we're anxious to see some pictures from home and to know how life is for the THREE of you!!!!
Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Hugs!
KJ, Steve and Tougy
