Peek-a-boo..... on our walk into town.
In the market -yum-yum!
I found an amigo in the market.
Where is KANSAS??
You don't see a McDonald's like this in the States.
Place where some of the women still do laundry. Go ahead boys-get at it!
Hey.. there's somebody else in my bathtub!
Some authentic Guatemalan cuisine complete with Gallo cerveza!!
Relaxing after playing some baseball.

(Yes we walked up there!)
A classic:
Says "don't urinate here"
Mom must have been reading something
interesting!!
Hey- let me have some of that!!
Joshua reading Rosalia a book... "this is Mickey and this is Goofy." Rosalia... "let me show YOU big brother."
We had such a good time together... I had to go in mourning after they left. Even Rosalia was fussier the next day. It has been a busy week though... I am looking for another place to live since it is just Rosalia and I now. (no roomate and no help with the rent)
Wednesday we went back into the city to see the doctor for Rosalia's 1 year check-up. She is doing really well although she is still only about 5% on the growth charts. (He said she is just small-surprise!)
For the rest of her developmental skills she has caught up to where she should be -YEAH! Dad was here for some major crawling and she is making Mom keep a closer eye on her since she is into everything. Worst part was 2 vaccination shots, but they were over quick.
As for progress with our case.... well, that is a longgggg story and will need another post. PGN still has not released any files since the end of April, but we are hearing it should be within a week. (Again, you don't want to hold your breath.) They are still interviewing the birthmothers and most likely will for all the rest of the cases left to be completed...around 2000. I will try and post more about the process.
Happy Memorial Day weekend.... wow the start of summer and in Guatemala it is their "winter" season. That means..RAIN. We have had some every afternoon/night this last week. Let's pray that Rosalia can see this 4th of July in the good old USA!!

Dear Linda and Rosalia,
I am glad you all had such a great time together in Guatamala. I am sure it was hard to see them go. I love seeing the new pics and updates about you and Rosalia. I am hoping and praying that we will be able to have a welcome home party on July 4th this year!! Love
Jean
It was so nice to read about your family time together. Also loved the pictures. Rosalia looks like a totally different baby from the one I saw in January. Nothing like a lot of love and attention to encourage such positive changes and growth. Good job mom!
Hi Linda and Rosalia -
It is great to see your blog and all of the new pictures that you took while Tony and Joshua were visiting. Rosalia is changing all of the time. I am praying for you to come home soon. We will need to have a big celebration when you return.
Sounds like you all had just a wonderful time together..bet you were really sorry to see the time go by. You both have inspired me to do a family blog! These are so need. Talked to Michael a little on his graduation night. The grandkids are all getting old.
Times like these I wish we were all closer or kept in better touch.
...hope on your way home you have a layover in Dallas for a while and we can come out to meet her.
If you can set up a decent layover we can do lunch or dinner or whatever you have time for.
