21 days...

Until we see this sweet face FOREVER!!








I can't believe it's getting this close to Christmas! The time is flying. I was away for work this week so I haven't posted much. I talked with Maria last night and Nate is doing really well. He loves his cereal and he's over 15lbs now. You'd never know it because he is a peanut but he loves to eat-- he's going to fit in perfectly with mom and dad! :-)

We hope to hear an update this week on the birth certificate. Once that is received, we should have our embassy appt. in about 3 weeks or so. We are heading to GC on the 30th of this month and will be staying until the end. We plan to leave the day after we get our visa. We are hoping for less than a 2 week stay but as we have always said- this process is unpredictable. We did inquire about our birth certificate because the civil registries in Guatemala can be unpredictable also, and our attorney assured us it would only take him a week. That would mean we should hear news this week. We'll be staying at the Marriott if our stay is less than a week; if it's longer- we'll be staying at a bed and breakfast in Antigua - Hotel Casa Ovalle.

Here's wishing you all a peaceful weekend!
