We did it!

I picked up Sara's visa this afternoon and we will fly home tomorrow. She will become a citizen when we hit the ground in Atlanta. She is doing better and better with us each day. Let's just say that she is an incredibly happy baby. We took a trip to the old colonial town of Antigua this morning and Sara charmed everyone she met. She gives strangers a huge grin. Hopefully, she'll do the same with Americans. Sometimes I wonder if it is a relief to have someone talking to her in Spanish. She spent the entire cab ride back laughing while playing with a stuffed frog and a water bottle. Let's hope she is just as jovial on the plane tomorrow.

We are starting to figure each other out a bit more. We've learned that when she starts talking to her stuffed animals while looking into their faces the window to put her down to sleep is open. If we miss the window she seems to go to a very silly and happy place and she will goof and play for hours (literally). At least she doesn't get crabby.

We'll talk to everyone soon. And, thanks for all of your nice thoughts and support. This has been a hard, but amazing process and we are so excited to go home and be a family. It has been nice to know so many people were cheering us on.

We'll post pictures over the weekend.

Mike.
