VICTORY!!!!!

Bella LOVES to play Pee Pie!

Playing Pee Pie with Daddy!

Playing drums on the table with Daddy!



"I let my Daddy pick me up!"

"I got ya, Daddy!"

"Daddy's gonna get you, Bella!
"Daddy got ya, Bella!"


"You can't get me, Daddy!"

"Uh Oh, Daddy, you got me (and I LOVE it)!"

"It really is FUN to play with my Daddy!"

Well, as you can see, we had major VICTORY today! Thanks for all the prayers! She let Jeff feed her today and she willingly gave him kisses (even solicited them!), and reached out to him for him to hold her before I put her to bed! She is on her way to becoming Daddy's little girl! :)

WA HOO!!! Daddy's little Girl... What a joyful picture to see.

Enjoy tomorrow in Guatemala. I'm sure you are all anxious to get that VISA and get home to Jake.

Can't wait to talk to you when you are home.

I have been lurking for several months now. Found your site from another Guatemala Mama! What a beautiful family you all are. I am in tears right now after looking at the pictures of Bella and her Daddy and how happy she looks. What a gift she is to you and you all to her. Love the earlier picture of Mommy feeding Bella.

I am so happy for all of you.
