We just had an earthquake in Guatemala!!!

People, I am NOT kidding. Amy and I were sitting here with the babies, and the Marriott started ROCKING!!!! We both looked at each other freaking out. It felt like the hotel was swaying, and the hangers in the closet were moving and banging against each other. Amy looked out the window and said the water in the pool was making waves! It was over pretty quickly, and we were amazed! I called the front desk to see if it was an earthquake, but they said they didn't feel it down there. They are checking, but we KNOW that's what it was. Poor Steve is out in the rain on his way to the pharmacia in an earthquake. Poor guy, Mia's keys fell down the elevator shaft, and she needed some more. We wouldn't have sent him out had we known the ground would be shaking!!!! I'll report more as we find out what it was! We are fine, so don't worry at all! Both babies paid it NO ATTENTION!!!!!

My social worker told me it was odd how there was always something awful and traumatic going on when I had to go to China. There was SARS with Emily and bird flu with Jamey! I guess you cause earthquakes! Seriously, I'm glad everybody's fine.

Thank God all of you are okay. Maybe it shook of Mr. PGN and he will let all the babies OUT!!

Glad everyone is Ok
try to keep us posted on the updates you receive. CNN can't get much answers as to what the extent of the damage was.
I pray ALL the babies and families are ok!

Lou,

Email me--Scott was freakin' out!! I am here at the beach and he called and said that he hoped I could still come Monday--he was afraid that it was bad enough to evacuate etc...He thinks that it will slow our paperwork down and we won't be able to get into the city---HELP ME CALM HIM DOWN!!

How glad are you that you are with your baby girl! I want to know more about how that felt! Did you both get silent? Did it seem like it was in slow motion? Anyway your life it never boring is it?! Ashley A

Andrea said...

Boy, you said you were going to storm PGN, but an EARTHQUAKE?? Seriously, girl :) Kidding. Like Ginger said, maybe it will shake Barrios up a bit and get our babies OUT.

Kiss Miss AP for me, too!!

I could hardly believe it when Wyatt told me this afternoon. I was so mad at him for not giving ME the phone! =) We immediately hit the web since the tv was down and sure enough. 6.8!! Apparently God is doing something down there in Guatemala! Hang on! Just hurry up and come home!! We all miss you!!! The web cam is good, but not good enough!!! I can't feel the hair on the webcam!
lovealee! Daisy (& Maggie & Wyatt)
