We are spending Christmas in Guat!!!
Thank you all for your encouragement! Dh and I decided that if Hudson can't be here with us for Christmas, we are just going to him! So, we will be spending Christmas is Guatemala with our sweet boy! We know we can't stand being away from him for another Christmas, so we are making the best of the situation and celebrating as a family!

Carri - I am just absolutely thrilled for you. I will be praying that your visit trip isn't necessary and Hudson is home for Christmas.

Congratulations--there's nothing like taking back some of the power from PGN! I can sense the relief you feel now that you know that there's no question that Hudson will indeed be with you for Christmas. Have a great trip!

 I miss Guatemala so much.... I bought Bananas that had a sticker that said "made in Guatemala" and almost cried in the grocery store! What is the latest on PGN?

Oh Carri I have not been on the boards in so long and I am so glad I came across your post. I am so sorry that Hudson isn't home yet BUT I am so happy that you will be spending Christmas with him. Hugs to you and if you ever need anything don't hesitate to call.
