Bathing Beauties (the kids....not me)

All the kids had a great time playing together!

We see airplanes taking off all the time by the pool. They are so close!

The girls




Yesterday Jorge brought his children to swim with us. We all had a wonderful time. I will miss my friend dearly when I go home. His wife, Sandra, made me a beautiful bag! We are counting the hours until we are on the way home.....I just wish I could bring Natalie, Kennedy, and Bella with us!

I love the pictures. A.P. is a doll in her matching bathing suit and hat. I'm glad you got to have some fun with Jorge and his family. I bet the bag is beautiful. What a wonderful gesture of love from his wife. I'll pray for safe travels for you and your family. I can't wait to see the homecoming pictures. Love, Kathi

I miss MY friend dearly now. COME HOME :-)
It looks like you had a ball in the pool. Such beautiful babies (& grown-ups too, of course)
This has been such a wonderful experience for you all. Amazing memories to treasure forever.
We'll see you very soon.

I have been a "lurker" for a while now . . . but just had to tell you how much I have enjoyed following your journey to bringing AP home. You have such a beautiful family and AP is adorable! We are adopting from Guatemala, too, and are 5 weeks into PGN. It has been fun to see your travels in Guatemala and know that one day soon we will be there as well - bringing home our little girl!

You are so blessed! Enjoy every minute with your new daughter. We will be praying for safe travels as you journey HOME!

With hope,
Heather

Your pictures are super! What a wonderful way to remember such an experience. I'm thrilled for your family that you'll be going home tomorrow. How blessed you are!! There's another family from Birmingham adopting a son from Guatemala. Her grandparents live in SC and go to church with J.P.'s aunt. Andrea can fill you in later. Praying for a safe trip back to "Dixie" where we ALL belong!!
Love, Andrea's Mom and J.P.'s Nana Faye
