We had the chance to see Nazym again this week and it was alot of fun! We also got to meet our friends the Sapp family (Chris, Michelle, Mateo and Natalia). We have been emailing each other for over a year now, bnut had never met until now. It was great to finally see them and their beautiful children! They adopted their kids from the same baby house in Ust-Kamenogorsk that Mia si from. We completed our adoption just before they did. We also got to hang out with Zane. He is the little boy that Nazym is staying with in Illinois. He is from Taraz, Kazakhstan. Here is a picture of Nazym wioth all three children. What a special moment. 
We decided to meet at the zoo in Evansville, IN. It was a great day! All of the children had a great time together! There is also a picture of the whole group together. The only ones missing are Gavin and Caitlin. Gavin was working and Caitlin was at Holiday World with a friend. I hope we can see the Sapp family again real soon. Michelle and I seemed to have alot in common. I am glad that Mia will have friends nearby that share the same heritage that she does! :)
After our trip to the zoo, we hung out with Nazym at the mall and went to dinner. We had to ride the carousel at the mall and ate at The Olive Garden. It was a blast! I miss hanging out with her so much!

We had so much fun FINALLY meeting you all! Let's not wait so long to get together again! We have to find a way to keep Nazym here!!!!!!!!! We are looking forward to our next visit :-) Mia is an absolute doll, and I'm happy Natalia will have someone so close to her to share her story with!
Love,
The Sapp Family
