On Our Way Home!

It's our last day here. We are ready to come home. We really like being here and if we were staying longer we could definitely fill the days with lots of activity out in the city but I'm tired of hotel life. We were going to go to the zoo yesterday but our son has shared his abundance of snot with the rest of us so we just hung out and ordered a pizza.

Emmy is testing the boundaries of our patience. But Dave and I talked about it and both agree that we wouldn't have changed our decision to bring her. Getting to be together as a family is a wonderful start to Aidan's adjustment (and Emmy's too).

We have Aidan's Visa to travel with and we've spent our last dollar on some souvenirs. We head to the airport at the crack of dawn.

This has been a wonderful experience. Getting to bring home our son is the cake. There's lots of icing: Meeting Aidan's foster family, the friendly Guatemalan people, the beautiful weather (low 80's, constant light breeze), the great food, Emmy's mastery of the room key, the first time Aidan didn't thrash when Dave handed him to me, the wait-staff singing to Happy Birthday in Spanish, the beautiful Mayan women at the airport, the miracle that is our family.
