Well, we are home...finally!! It has been a really busy day but Sam has managed it well. From cheek pinchers to nap time we have survived. I should be in the bed just like the boys but I wanted to update everyone. The flight back home was great. Sam slept and Max and Elias watched "Get Smart". Max is still talking about it! Great Christmas idea for him (hint hint!) It was the newer version and even Dave almost rolled in the aisle. The airport in Atlanta took longer than expected but we finally made it through. We got home around 11:30pm on Friday night and finally to bed by 1:00 am! Today was washing clothes and unpacking while trying to show Sam around his new home. Then, this evening, we went to Dave's parents to celebrate Mary's birthday (Dave's sister) and to let Sam meet the fam! He did really well. Max had fun seeing all his cousins and the food was great. All in all it was a good day. Thanks for all the calls and well wishes! God has provided for all our needs, we are so blessed. Good night to all and we will try and update some more tomorrow!

Today we went to the La Aurora Zoo and another outdoor market. This has been the only rainy day so far. We made it through the market but in the zoo we got rained on! It was really cool! The animals were very close! Not like the zoos here. We saw lots of beautiful birds and big cats. We even saw a bear! Max really enjoyed it but Sam slept the entire time. The market was neat! We were trying to spend all our quetzales (guatemalan currency) because we can't spend it at home!! When we came back, Max got to go to the arcade with Elias. Now they are swimming. They are both non-stop!!! This may be the last blog before we head home tomorrow. Dave is gone now with Hector to get Sam's visa and passport. I think our plane leaves around noon so if I don't make it back online, take care and we'll see you real soon!!!
