On Wednesday of this past week we got to meet some of our Internet friends in person for the first time. They are in the process right now of adopting a little girl from Guatemala. Their son Sammy, also from Guatemala, came home when he was 4 months old and is only a few months younger than Ethan. We met them in a very strange way. While chatting in a Guatemalan adoption chat room, discussion led to the agencies we were using and we found out that we had the same agency. Even more crazy was the fact that we had disposable cameras at our house at that time that we were going to take down to Guatemala for them. They accepted a referral of a little girl early last August and things have not gone as anyone would have planned or expected!!! We will not go into details but this wonderful family can use all of our prayers that things will start moving again! They did receive some good news Tuesday and we hope that they will now be able to get the DNA approved that has been holding up their case!

Sammy and Ethan hit it off right from the start. Ethan has never really had a lot of time to play with other boys around his age and his true colors really showed! They played cars, Thomas, and went outside. They chased each other playing their own version of tag, danced, and even watched a little bit of Veggie Tales. After dinner Lane and Steve escaped to Cabela's while Karen and Amy gave all three of the kiddos a bath. It should be mentioned that all three were in the tub together! It really was an awesome day and we had so much fun. Hopefully we will be able to do more of this real soon
