Laura,

Thanks for the pictures. It does my heart good to see little Sabrina so happy and her Mom and Dad bursting with joy. She is such a little dollbaby.

Congratulations again!

Laura,

I saw you at the Guatemala airport on our way out on the 16th. I saw you guys, and saw Sabrina, but didn't put two and two together until later that day. It was too early! I saw you guys in line waiting to pay the departure tax.

She is a beautiful girl, and congrats on getting her home!

Laura,
I am overjoyed for you!!! It was so nice actually being able to see Daddy in those pictures now, and the big smile Sabrina had for him.
Can't wait to see the "home" pics when you get them downloaded!!


Hugs,
Cindy

Welcome home!!! What a happy post! How's she doing with her eating/weight gain? I've enjoyed your blog - Sabrina is just too darling!!

Flora is still tiny, but eats everything in sight! (yes, she enjoyed popcorn at the parish picnic last week...ahhh, kid #2)

You are right, you really don't "forget" the pain...but it's the same as childbirth...I didn't really "forget" that either!
