Two great days!!






Hi everyone, well, yesterday we did not get a chance to send a post. I will try to sum up two days in one. We had a wonderful time visiting the city of Antigua, it was the third capital of Guatemala. Most of the city was built in the early 1500's and some earlier I believe. Edwin was our guide, driver, and Guatemalan historian. Russell learned all about growing coffee and we stopped along the roadside and picked coffee beans. In the raw state they are very sweet and don't taste anything like coffee. Now Russell wants to be a coffee farmer. Anyway, the city was just wonderful I loved the architecture and the colors. Great food and wonderful people. Emily as always was a trooper for the whole day. Nothing really bugs her, she is probably the most pleasant baby I have been around, she is truly a joy. She learned to say da da yesterday. Today however is a tough one we have to say good bye to her later this evening, this will not be easy. We are leaving a lot of the toys, clothes etc...Maybe she will keep the connection, of course we just pray we will be able to come back for the official bringing her home trip very soon. I guess that is all for now, please keep praying for our trip back and that I(we) won't have too hard of a time leaving tomorrow.

Evan and Abby see you in a couple days, we found some cool stuff for you guys I can't wait to show you what we got and all the pictures!! Love you guys a ton. Mom.

we will try to post some pictures later today.
