Memory lane---- Rosalia last January on our first visit with her
Daycare trick-or-treat. 
What a Santa!! Joshua really enjoyed Christmas this year!
The family all together!!
Pop goes the weasel
Trying to put up the Christmas decorations... neat manger Dad!
Rosalia's baptism - Jan. 4th
Rosalia loves to be outside
No matter what kind of weather!
Sledding with "Dado" and bubba
Her favorite hiding place-under the kitchen island.It has been way too long since I posted. Above are some pictures over the last few months. It has been so busy. I am back at work 3 days a week. We were all sick around Christmas, but had a great time seeing all our family. Rosalia is just blooming with her speech and learning how to run like a toddler. Tony's name is "dado" and my name is now "ommy." It was ma-ma in Antigua, but has now changed... trying to imitate Joshua who calls me "mommy." Meal time is always a mess when we get done, but she is a good eater. She is getting better with the spoon and fork, but mom can't wait for the days when we don't have to sweep and mop after every meal!! She loves to play hide-and-seek with Joshua and imitate the things he says. She is learning to use her little grin to get what she wants!! She is also showing some of her "drama"side when she isn't happy... yikes!!
It was a year ago last week that we were visiting Rosalia for the first time in Guatemala.... what a difference a year makes. She has made such progress it amazes us!
Miss seeing a lot of our friends from Guatemala, but are so happy to see other families settling in at home. We pray that all the families that are still trying to get there children home are able to finish soon. God bless us all in 2009!
(I will try and update more frequently!)

I was so excited to see an update.
Love the photos! The kids are adorable. You and Tony look pretty good too :-)
Keep posting.
Linda, thanks for the update...love the new pictures! I think you are doing great to get it updated. I am home full time..with one & it is difficult. I love seeing that smile on Rosalia :) You have donr such a great job with her! She is doing great.
I see all these pictures that show the dramatic change in Rosalia over the past year, and I remember all the hard work, many hours, and sacrifices that went into it all from you and Tony. Now, the smiles on your faces show just how complete your lives are, and how much it has all been worth it! You are one strong and amazing woman! (just like your mother, your sister, and how your daughter will be as well) Love you!
