Our first week home

The first week home is going well except that our little furry creatures are sick. Junior and Ben got sick when they came home on Friday and they have a bad strain of doggy influenza. Junior went to the hospital today because he was very ill (we've been up at night with him). He has to spend the night and we are hopeful he will be able to come home in the morning. Geez, just our luck! You get home and typically the adjustment is with the baby but Nathaniel just acts as though he's been here all his short little life. :-) He's doing so well and he is very playful. His two favorite things at home are his giant giraffe, named Geoffrey, and taking a bath in the big tub with mom or dad. He LOVES to swim and I think he is going to be a natural. As soon as he sees the water in the bathtub he starts to kick his little legs and a big smile comes across his face. Needless to say, he doesn't like it when tubby time is over.

Here are some pics from the house this weekend:

Ummm....did I really move to the Arctic Circle?!



Dinner time is the best time of the day!



Posing for the camera as usual...



Here are some final pics of our last few days in Antigua:

Maria and Nate seeing each other again for the first time in 5 weeks...



Lunch at Cafe Sky...




Dad and Nathaniel at the Artesian's Market in Antigua...



Stay warm- it's about 10 degrees here today; quite the adjustment from life in Guatemala!

I love these pictures! Looks like Nathaniel is very happy at home. The snowsuit picture is so cute. Anika is not a big fan of hers. :)
