Journey to Gabriella

Some pics!!





Here are some pics of when we met Gabriella and throughout the rest of the day. There are some with she and her foster mother, Antonio and his foster mother, us, etc.

Update: She did wonderfully this afternoon. We went for a walk- much to Barry's chagrin. He's not too "into" the guards with machine guns on the corners. :( We ate dinner at a restaurant. She kept eating and eating and eating. :) She was also sucking on a lime the whole time. :)
Then we bathed the kiddos together (see pics) and then we put them to bed. I began to wonder if I was in the twilight zone. I fed her her bottle, pulled it out of her mouth, she turned her head and was asleep. Just like that. HOLY COW!! What world am I in??? We'll see how she does for the night. Foster mom says she wakes up twice for bottles. I told Gabriella tonight that it was time to get on a "normal schedule". Hahaha! We won't go hard core for a bit. But she didn't get two naps this afternoon, so she probably went to bed earlier than usual. Look out Gabriella. You have entered Schedule Nazi territory!! Hahahah!! She has been a doll. We had her laughing tonight- she is enjoying Antonio and she went to Barry without any problems, too! I think that made Daddy happy :) I am sure she won't be without any transition problems, but oh my word what a difference between the two. Poor Antonio and his foster care experience. What a precious boy and what a precious girl! We couldn't be any more blessed!! :)

Tomorrow a.m. we leave around 7:45-8am for our embassy appt. Wednesday we are going to be visiting Santiago Sacatapequez for some All Saints Day Celebrations. We are going to have our previous tour guide Jacobo. Yipee!

More tomorrow! A happy and muy contento Jen
