A gift from God


Wow! I don't even know where to start! God has given us the git of smiles, laughter and love all in this 15 pound, dark eyed baby girl! I cannot even begin to tell you how much she is loved. Her sisters cannot stand to be away from her (we'll see how long that lasts) and her Daddy has even shown a softer side (she has him wrapped around her finger already)! We are so honored that God would choose her for us! Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing this little girl home!!!

On our way!!!

We got the Visa yesterday and are headed home tomorrow!! Thank God! We have stories to tell Aubryella when she gets older!

This is kinda funny, we made the front page of the National News paper here. They have a picture of my mom, Aubryella and me! We didn't even know they took it. Needless to say, My Mom and I look horrible because we were so stressed out with not knowing if we were getting a visa or not! Aubryella looks as sweet as ever! The paper was all over the place! People kept coming up to us saying "we saw you on the front page of the paper".

Well, I will let you know when we make it home safe!!

Embassy Appointment today

I'm posting (Sean), as Tiffany's internet in Guatemala is sporadic.
She had a much less-than-fun experience today at the US Embassy in Guatemala City. She was given incomplete information by our agency's Guatemalan lawyer and showed up with less than the paperwork she needed. Fortunately, God provided (He says he provides just what we need!), and another adoptive family's Guatemalan lawyer was there and bent over backwards to help Tiffany get the paperwork in time for her appointment (the embassy said if she didn't have the paperwork by the time her # was called she'd be kicked to the bottom of the pile).
The great news is Tiffany got done what needed to be done and she's all set to pick up the final paperwork at the embassy tomorrow afternoon and fly home on Friday! Not a day too soon!

Thank you to those of you who've been praying for this to all work out. We can't wait to see Aubryella and I bet she can't wait to see this strange cold, white stuff at her new home... snow!

Emabassy appointment

Well, we are almost done! We have our Embassy appointment tomorrow morning at 7:15am. We have to leave the house at 6:00am. Please pray that everything goes smooth and quick tomorrow.

Sorry I have not been posting pictures everyday, the internet is in and out here so I can't always upload.
