anybody at the Marriott this weekend?
In just a few hours, we leave for the airport!
 We'll be in Guatemala by 11:30AM and the FF will arrive at about 3:30PM with our daughter!  We cannot wait to see her. Wow, a whole wk with her, and we get to celebrate her 3rd birthday as a family. OK, I thought for sure we'd be OUT by now but, for whatever reason, that's still not meant to be. But we have the opportunity to make some memories and I hope that, in the future, she'll know how very much we love her. It's been 18 months since we last saw her and man do we miss her. We couldn't be there for her 2nd birthday b/c she was still stuck in an hogar last year but she's been back with her wonderful foster family since Aug and we're thankful to God for that.So is anybody else going to be at the Marriott this weekend? We'd love to meet you. We'll be a family of 4, plus our dear friend "starryeyes" is flying there to join us. Thanks, Kim! Can't wait to see you! I doubt that I'll have time to access the computer in the baby lounge but I hope to meet some forum friends while we're there. Here's to great news in the next week...for all of us. Damaris
