Embassy Date

We have our date at the US Embassy in Guatemala. It is Monday, June 2nd. Scott and I will leave for Guatemala on Saturday, May 31st and return home with Alex on Wednesday, June 4th. This all seems like a dream after waiting so long for our sweet little guy.

Thanks to our many family members and friends who are helping to pray this child home.

Alex at 15 months

Alex has grown so much and learned so much since I saw him on his first birthday. He now walks and runs. He says more words and seems to understand what I am saying in English. He loves to throw things: balls, blocks, everything. He's just playing, but he sure has an arm. His Daddy will love that.

We are so eager to have him home. Daddy, Annie and Will are so ready to meet him. His room is almost ready and he has all sorts of new toys to play with. My friends are throwing a baby shower this weekend. It's so nice to have my friends and family so excited about his homecoming. Praise the Lord for our little Alexander Davis. We know we are blessed.

Isabella Faye at 9 months

Isabella Faye is the a total joy at this age. She is crawling everywhere, eating so many new foods, playing with her toys and interacting with adults and children. She was crazy about her Mommy. Thank goodness, she likes me, too. She and Alex were adorable together. I can't wait for future visits in our homes with funny Alex and sweet Isabella Faye.

Mother's Day

Spending Mother's Day with Alex, Beth, and Isabella Faye was a joy. I missed the rest of my family, but I had such a memorable time with my baby boy and our good friends. We visited Antigua on Saturday which was Mother's Day in Guatemala. On Sunday, we played and played and ate good food. We just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. Annie, Will and Scott managed to hide Mother's Day cards in my suitcase (and Necco wafers - YUM!). When I got home Monday night, there was a new bench in the front garden. It's exactly what I have been asking for. It was a great day that I will always treasure.
