We are home from pick up

Finally made it home last Wednesday night after a 3 hour delay leaving Guatemala. The Westin is wonderful and the people are very nice. Our little guy is getting more and more active every day, he crawls all over the house he turns 7month this wednesday. We took him in for a check up and is 16 pounds. I will send pictures when my husband down loads them for me.

And hi to all 17 familys that came home last week it was a very long day but we made it, for those still in the process it is well werth the wait.

Hi! You're right - it was a long day! I think we met at the Italian restaurant in the Westin and later on the plane. If I'm correct, we were sitting in front of you. Your son is precious.

jeannie.... congratulations!

i bet you can hardly sleep if you are anything like me.

once we got home w/ dd alls i would do every night is peak in on her while she slept. not cause i was nervous but in awe of God's kindness in blessing me with this child.

i still have a habit of missing sleep from watching her sleep....

they are precious! enjoy!
