IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

Today was the big day!! Left for the US Embassy in Guatemala City to go for Lilys visa appointment. Everything went great and she is officialy ours. What a joy to know that all the stress is lifted. My mom is here with me and was such a BIG help!! Never woulda been able to do it without her. Lily is such a great child. Not even 2 and she says pee/poo poo and gets right on the potty and goes. She brushes her teeth, eats by herself, and just now got dressed from head to toe socks,shoes and all cause she kept asking me to dress her and I said no cause we just got back from the pool and shes ready for a bath. If someone wont do it for her, she does it herself. Very independent. Wears underware and hasn't made 1 mess. Sleeps thru the night. What a BLESSING!!! She's gonna have a blast playing with her brothers, nieces,nephews and cousins!! Thanx for everyones support and prayers through our journey!! Actually the journey has just begun.

WE ARE PINK!!!

To those who don't know, PINK is the color of the slip they send you when your adoption is approved and they give you the date to come pick up. We just got it a couple hours ago and were still in shock!! The DNA was back @ the Embassy in Guatemala yesterday and we got the epink today. The appointment is 4/21 and will get the visa the next day and LILY GIRL will be home 4ever on 4/23. Me and mom are going to leave 4/18 to go get her. Will send pics from there and you will all get the chance to meet her in person when we get home or at her welcome home party on 5/24....Thanks for all your prayers and support!!!
