Steve & his Princess

Well Steve's trip went well and Ethan & Amy are recovering from their colds. The colds and all the hours worked this week really have hampered my blogging lately. Amy picked Steve up from the airport late Friday night and Steve was just full of stories. We won't put all of the stories in one post. We are going to drag it out over a few days. That we it keeps you coming back. To start with Steve's connecting flight from Houston to Guatemala City arrived 1 hour late. That meant he didn't arrive at the hotel until 12:00am Tues. He stayed up until 3:00am organizing things and getting the room ready for Mia. He finally went to sleep and had got up and had breakfast by 8:30am Tuesday morning. He called Alma (our contact in Guatemala) and she said that she couldn't come get Steve until 11:00am. Steve was a little frustrated because he expected to have Mia first thing Tuesday morning, that's why he stayed up so late. To make the best of the situation Steve walked down to la pharmacia and bought formula for Mia. That way he wouldn't have to have the pharmacy deliver it to the hotel. At 11:00am Steve was taken to the lawyer's office and met Alma, Zoila (Mia's foster Mom) and Mia. After getting the latest schedule for Mia, he then went back to the hotel and spent the rest of the day hugging and kissing her. He didn't get any dinner that night because he said it was "all Mia all the time". Mia was happy as long as daddy was holding her and only had one thirty minute major meltdown that day. Mia was just at the doctors March 3rd and weighs 16.6 lbs and is 26.4 inches long. She is definitely much longer than Ethan was at that age! This story will be continued with more pictures to follow.
