[TenleysDaddy]

Hi everyone,
I must apologize for my depressing post of the Casa Grande.
As I traveled home and was met by loving wife and my beautiful little smiling Guatemalan Princess Tenley.
As they slept on the long ride home from the airport back into the mountains towards my home I thought to myself...........you know, Casa Grande is not a ghost town, it really was like just a holding areas for dreams waiting to start. I found great solice in the fact that one could look at the emptiness of Casa Grande as a little success story. Our kids are home and not awaiting pink at Casa Grande no more.
So with that being said, I wish Casa Grande was busy and filled to the doors with kids in process and coming home but we all know.........its going to be awhile before that happens again.
So here is what this all mean to me. We must look at our beautiful sons and daughters and remember the pain, longing and hope associated with our experience with Guatemala's adoption process, consider an empty and lonely Casa Grande, one where if you listen hard enough you can still see the families and still here the laughters and the cries from our soon to be children..............take extra time today to consider where they........and we have come from and hug and kiss your little Guatemalan a little longer today than you might have yesterday. Because if we lose sight of where we have come from as families, we will lose sight of the endless horizons our family will walk into hand in hand called our future.
God bless,
Scott
