Happy Thanksgiving!

Maysa with her spoon ready waiting for her Thanksgiving meal...this girl loves to eat!

Say, "Happy Thanksgiving!"

Maysa loved playing in this box with mommy's empty wine bottle

Devin and Danilo with their cousins after a game of football

Isn't she the cutest!

Danilo and his first turkey...he said, "It's just like us and has two legs"

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday!
I can remember sitting at the table last year looking at empty chairs wondering if they would ever be filled...It was pure joy this year seeing Maysa and Danilo around the Thanksgiving table...as if they had always been seated their.
We have so much to be Thankful for this year!

So Thankful....




Maysa is pretty reserved, but in the last few days she is really becoming much more independent and did I mention silly!
She is defiantly more silly with her brothers around and she loves to copy everything they do.

I also wanted to post how thankful I am that Maysa and Danilo are home forever!
I still continue to read blogs everyday and I'm so saddened that their are still so many family's waiting to bring their children home from Guatemala.
There is a little girl named Kinsey and a little boy named Max along with a few other blog's that I check almost daily to see if their is any progress in their case's.
I don't know how their parent's are getting through the waiting and uncertainity...and it angers me that these adoptions are being held up way to long when these children need to come home.
I know the frustrations and helplessness you feel...and sometimes I feel bad for posting how wonderful everything is for me, when I know the waiting and wanting is pulling at your hearts...I hope reading other family's blogs and updates of completed adoptions will give you hope that your children will be home soon as well. Keep the faith and keep fighting!

Two months Home



Maysa has been home exactly two months today.
I can't ever imagine not having her in our family...it feels as if she has always been here. Time goes by so quickly!
