A few pics of Rylie's big escape, a lot of goodbyes and a special hello to her Pa!
When we got there, Rylie got to meet Pa for the first time! Rylie gave Pa lots of smiles!
Pa with one of the original little princesses, and of course his newest little princess!
One last time on the changing table
And some special goodbyes to some very special people--- the caregivers
Leaving Rylie's room, once and for all....
One final goodbye to a very special doctor....
And of course to Dr. Alma!
And then we began the preparation of bundling Rylie up for the snowy Astana day. 
And leaving together, for good!!!
Coming home to the apartment
love to everyone!!!!

Hi,
Okay, so I am emotional these days for a number of reasons but seeing you together and knowing it is for always brought tears to my eyes. We are so very thrilled to have Riley in our family. I am glad that your Dad could join you. What special memories this will be for you all. Now a new phase of your journey begins with all its joys and challenges - never a dull moment I'm sure. Take care. Stay well. Hugs and Kisses. Love, Aunt Raggedy
Add my name to the list of those of us blubbering away in the USA! The pictures are fabulous and we are so very excited for all of you! The little munchkin has no clue of what's whirling about her - but we do, and it's beyond joy and blessings. Can't wait to hear that you are on your way home with the newest member of the family!
Love, Elaine
