Those cheeks!
(*snorgle*)
How wonderful. I hope the time until pick up passes quickly.
Beautiful!
I had to scroll through and make sure that Cheryl didn't already comment at the tears of joy that were shed at our house last night. Well, that along with us (well me mainly) saying over and over, Art and Pili are going to be mommies. As I mentioned in my first comment, Katie is hard at work making your son a mobile and writing him a book. She's writing him a book about her so he know's who she is when he comes home.
I heart him.
Congratulations!!!
What a great journey this has been so far. A lot of ups and downs, joys and frustrations.
We so appreciate you sharing this all with us, and I look forward to sharing even more with you as you start this leg of the journey.
I'm very happy for you two.
Absolutely beautiful little boy, congratulations!!!!
YAY!!!!
Hurry home Guatebaby!!
