Have a wonderful time!!!! I am so excited for you. Can't wait to see pictures.

We go down next Thursday to see our little girl.

By the way, when I click on your website, the page won't open. Don't know if it's my computer or what.

Have fun!!!!!

George!!!

Oh, George....I'm so glad you posted! I read your other post earlier but did not have time to respond...

I can SO FEEL your excitement!! Just remember two things....

ONE....if they are late bringing the baby, DO NOT PANIC!! Guatemalan time is not our time. Really, this is normal. If they are on time, then celebrate! But just prepare for this and you'll handle it better, in case.


TWO...and just as importantly...Remember my rule.

The "30 Second Rule", as I call it. Savor the moment you are IN....take time...take a break, get quiet, stop moving and talking, for THIRTY SECONDS....it will change everything. When your daughter is placed in your arms, let the clock stop. You will never forget this moment, so let it be more than a 5 second moment. When you wake up and see her there smiling, and lift her up out of the crib...take 30 seconds. Smell her hair, touch her toes, hold her face close to yours and breathe her in.....

Life as you know it is about to transform...

HOW EXCITING!!!!!!!

God speed and keep us posted....send pics too!!
