One year ago today I held my daughter for the 1st time at the Westin in Guatemala. What a day that was...waking up in the middle of the night to make the very early flight...arriving in Guatemala for the 1st time and all that entails...getting to the hotel and unpacking like maniacs because Ava was scheduled to arrive in less than an hour...getting the call that Ava was in the lobby waiting for us. Such a range of emotions...happiness, fear, you name it, we felt it! And then the wonderful moment when she was placed into my arms. Here's the slideshow from that first day of our visit trip, November 21, 2007...
And after a wild ride on the adoption rollercoaster she is now safe & sound in our home...at times we thought she would never make it here; but now it seems like she has been here forever.
We love you little girl!
