Greetings from Guatemala





Hi everyone, here we are with Joey in Guatemala (Guat.)!!! He is wonderful! We arrived on Wednesday after a few turbulent flights and around 3p we met up with him and his foster family in the lobby of the Marriot. We recognized him the second we saw him only he is about 4 lbs bigger than they told me he was. He is huge (17lbs, 4 mo). His foster family is wonderful and loves him so much. They are very affectionate with him and kept saying "look Joseph, it's Mamma and Pappa". We appreciated that so much! After reviewing his daily schedule we were off to our hotel room and we have been having fun ever since. The time passes quickly and tomorrow we have to meet in the lobby at 6p. to return him to his foster mother :(

John and I keep saying how amazing it is how much we love him already! He is really sweet and loves to smile. I cannot believe how big he is and unfortuantely many of the clothes that I brought are on the brink of not fitting. Our days are filled with roaming the hotel and speaking with other adoptive families. Everyone is WONDERFUL and supportive. Here are some pictures of our trip.

more updates later...all our love

Lee Anne, John and Joey
