We're going to visit! Oh...and there was an earthquake!

Hi everyone, First John and I want to thank you for the amazing amount of love and support that have been shown to us over the last week. I am overwhelmed by the amount of emails and hugs that I have received, thank you. We have decided, after much deliberation, to go on our visit trip. We know that this is the last opportunity that we will have to see Joey as a baby since he is growing so fast; so we are going to seize that chance. We will be in Guatemala City from June 15-18th at the Marriot and will be posting lots of pics so stay tuned.

Some of you may have seen today on the news that a "strong 6.8" earthquake occurred in Guatemala today 70 miles from the capital, Guatemala City (yup, where we are staying). This region is prone to earthquakes and thank God no one was injured or killed and there seems to be minimal damage. I spoke to one of my friends in Guatemala this afternoon and she said that it was the strongest that she has experienced, but that she was fine. As someone who is TERRIFIED of earthquakes, volcanos, tornadoes, ect. and has lived her entire life in the northeast I just pray nothing shakes from June 15th-18th!!!

Well off to pack all of the goodies I bought for little Joey and practice huddling in doorways!
Hugs,
Lee Anne
