We're home!! We miss Joey!!

We had to do V-day alittle early
GO EAGLES!!!
Hi everyone,

Well we arrived home from Guatemala yesterday night. We were so excited to see Sarah, but already we are missing Joey a lot. The trip was wonderful and as hard as it was to say goodbye to him we would not trade those four days for anything. He is such a good baby, happy and lovable. During the day we would walk around the hotel and hang out in our room. Joey, unlike his sister Sarah, is a napper and I could not believe the wonderful naps this baby took. He was such a charmer and everyone we met at the Marriot commented on his beautiful big brown eyes! He is SO big and well fed. At four monthes he weighs almost 17lbs!!! Almost all of the closes that we brought were tight and I felt bad that I was sending him back to the foster mom with a bunch of clothes that border on tight! Who knew he would weigh so much. Healthy atleast.

Handing him over to his foster mother was nearly impossible. It was one of the hardest thing I have ever done and I cried for hours. Yoli (the foster mom) is so amazing though and she understod our saddness. She tried to reassure me (in spanish) that he is getting great care and that he will be fine. I do believe her, it is just hard and we miss him so. We cannot wait until Sarah meet him and I know that she will keep him busy.

Luckily Sarah never missed a beat. She had a wonderful time with her grandparents and I dont think missed us too much. She did greet me when we came home looking for her "carmella" (that is three year old speak for Guatemala). When I gave her the dress we bought she was so excited she wore it to bed.

We will keep everyone posted on our legal process. Just keep praying that this moves quickly.

Thank you for all of your support,
