Ok, I'm telling ALL....

Meet Esther Alejandra, our Essie

This is NOT the way I wanted to tell our little secret. I had plans of a super secret admission after a bunch of clues.....However, this is not how it worked out.


Andrew, AP, and I are flying to GC on the day after Christmas to sign the POA to adopt Esther!!! It's a LONG story that I will tell later, but God let us know last weekend that we HAD to do it........ We are in shock.....happy.......excited.......SCARED......but trusting. We will be grandfathered in, as our POA will be registered on the 27th.....Our attorney spoke with the embassy to make sure.

NOW, WE NEED CONTINENTAL POINTS!!!! We thought up until a couple of hours ago that I could go alone to sign for us both. Jorge called me after Sergio talked with a government official. We BOTH have to go sign for it to be valid. You can imagine how hard it is for us to come up with this money so last minute the week BEFORE CHRISTMAS, but if we don't go now we lose Essie. If you have any points that you would be willing to donate we would be happy to take them. A FABULOUS blogging buddy already promised me almost 31,000 points!!!! Girl, you rock, and I owe you big time. We need around 80,000 to have Andrew and AP paid for. Natalie is figuring out how all this will work, so people can donate points....... It goes without saying how thankful we are for ANY assistance you can give us to get down there to start the ball rolling. The adoption will be tight, but we think we have it figured out. I know God will provide! Thanks you so much, and PLEASE PRAY!

How can you people say no to my divine big brown eyes????

Say What?!?!?! You guys are bringing Anne Pearce??? Are you sure about that???? Ok, if you promise you won't let her attack me we'll be fine! Bella has told me a thing or two about AP's talons! And TEETH, and PUSHING abilities!!!! Oh what am I in for????
