Talking Post a pic of your "GuateGuy" here -

Yep, we want all the boys in this thread. Like the girls, I could look at all our cuties endlessly!!!

A picture parade could help my mood....

Here are a couple of referral pictures (which is all I have so far - can't wait for more!). Daniel was about 10 days old as of these pics. Such a sweet little guy! He's almost a month old now.

Here is my cutie boy from Guatemala

Here is my cutie Guatemalan son (16 at the time) last summer working with AIDS orphans in Malawi Africa. I think he might prefer to be called good looking over cutie at this age. Anna
