I Feel like it has been forever

Oh this is bad. It has been only about a week and a half since I have seen my girl. I miss her sooo much already. It truly was so much easier before I met her. I put all her clothes in a bag and sealed it after she wore them. I was hoping that Keiko would smell them, and get used to her smell. Well, this morning I got a pair or her pj's out for him to lay around with. I just found myself smelling them. I Couldn't smell her hopefully he can. Whooooo, I would have never thought that I would have felt this way so quick. She was absolutely so lovable. I can't wait for you all to meet her.

Our Godchild Jameson is such a lover. He is so sweet, and snuggly. Mike has said over and over, that he has never seen such a good baby. While in Guatemala he said to me, WOW she is as good as Jameson, I can't believe it. I have a feeling it is because of her FOster mother AZUCENA. THey say that she is the best, and by Avea's disposition I would say they are right. She loves Avea soooo much. When we came down from our room to give her back after the weekend, she was so excited. SHe was jumping up and down talking to her (in spanish). I don't know how she is going to give her up. She loves her so much. I feel so sorry for her already. I know how I felt after two days with that precious baby. What is she going to do, I hope that after everybody prays for Avea to get home quick, that they will say a prayer for Azucena to have strength, and faith in me to take care of this baby. She definately will be devastated when she has to give her up. Please Pray for her to come home to us soon, and for Azucena, she loves her so much.

Still in PGN!!!

We are still in PGN. That is six weeks. I have heard that they fired some top officials, and that everything is at a stand still. My Agency did not tell us that, I heard it on the forum. They also said that once they get new people hired that we will fly through. Sounds like the top official maybe was doing some bribing. Bribe me please, I don't have a lot of money but I would probably do anything to get her home sooner. Just kidding that wouldn't be right. Well keep praying everyone that PGN is actually moving our file through!!!!

PRAYER'S PLEASE!!!

We spent the weekend with our baby girl, she was absolutely beautiful. The first moment we seen her we were in love. Having Aunt Dude, Uncle Dan, and Grandma there was just awesome. You just can't beat the moment your daughter looks you in the eyes, and with a little smirk tells you that she loves you. Sharing that with some of our family makes it even more incredible. I really wish that everyone could have been with us for the first meeting. She was just precious. I wish you all could have had the chance to meet our super special baby girl Avea. Soon that will happen, soon WE ALL will get to kiss her and love on her. I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!

Okay that is it. I've seen my baby, she's beautiful, she has the best little dispositon. I NEED HER!!!!! I, I mean WE, ARE IN LOVE. Please pray that the lord brings us together. Please pray that he speeds us through PGN, gets us out if it, gets our Birth certificate, our passport, our DNA test, and our embassy appointment. Please just PRAY!!! Please PRAY that GOD will bring us together, that he will let us touch her again soon!! That she will come into our house and call it her home. That he will let us love her more than we ever thought we could love another being. JESUS PLEASE JUST BRING MY BABY GIRL HOME!!!!! We promise to love her, to take care of her, to raise her to the best of our capabilities, just bring her to us to let us try. Please God Listen To Us

Her P.J's say I love my Mommy, but daddy sure is pushing his way in.

I Look Cute In Everything!! Every Color Is My Color


I did it

Yup I gave her a little trim. I tried leaving the style as is. A little fuax hawk on top, and a mullet in the back. The stuff that I trimmed a little was the long stuff. I did not trim the sides wear it all broke off, so probably what will happen
is the top and back will really grow fast now, and the sides will still be short, oh well, I tried.

I love it when daddy gives me baths


Yup, Mike wanted to give her a bath. He was sooo cute, he dug right in and scrubbed her up good. He did better than me. The homeboy is going to be a good daddy. He was right into it all. He is working on be the favorite.

I Love my First Teddy Bear

My cousin Lauren gave me her teddy bear. I loved chewing his nose. I have a feeling that Lauren is going to spoil me a little. My mommy says that Lauren loves to give kisses, all of the time. So I am sure that my cheeks will be ready for her. Thanks for the teddy bear LU LU

We knew that we were giving her back to her foster mother at 5:00. It hit me at 4:00, the tears started falling. I couldn't believe how I could feel after two and a half days. How could you love a stranger sooo much. I started to cry at four and didn't stop until about six. There were tears coming from more than me. I would have never thought that I was going to feel that much love for her so quick. She is already the love of our lives. She looks a little different than most around us, but the love that we feel for her is so strong that we know that she will be loved by most.
SHE WASN'T BORN UNDER MY HEART, BUT WAS IN IT!


LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!!!

How can you not fall in love with that face.


It is sooo funny. We have a collic in the same exact spot, we have no top lip. For her daddy, she has the same mustache. Yes, she has a stache. Couldn't tell on the inside. Just looked a little darker. When we took her outside, I realized, yes she has something that looks like her daddy.

CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP

Don't ya wish your grandaughter was cute like mine?????




Does this picture not say it all. The cutest baby in the world. I know I might be a little partial, but then again look at her. She had sooooo much fun with her daddy in the hot tub, she trusted him fully. He totally fell in love with her. She is just wonderful.

Don't be fooled, I love my baths.

Mommy and Grandma went to Church




My mommy and Grandma walked in after church, found my daddy painting my toenails. Yup, my daddy painted my toes before my mommy. He did a really good job, they even matched my moms. Aunt Dude held me while daddy did them. This was after daddy gave me a bath, washed my hair , and put me in mommy's favorite dress. I wish I had a ticker on my cheek, then you would all know how much my daddy and my moomy kissed me in two days. MY CHEEKS ARE WAY TOOO CUTE TO KEEP YOUR LIPS OFF OF THEM.





I LOVE MY DADDY!!

You wouldn't believe the love I feel for this baby. Two and a half days is all it took. Actually it took about two and a half minutes before I loved her. Mike too, we are both hooked. Now we have to focus on trying to live without the most beautiful baby in the world for a while longer.


Look How cute I look with my Grandma.

Check us out. I look like my uncle Dan a little bit!!!

My aunt Dude bought me this oufit. I loooook sooooo cute in it. I already love my aunt dude.

How could you not want to kiss this???

SUCKER???


My mommy was taking a shower. Grandma and Daddy decided to SPOIL me. Mommy came out of the shower and daddy had a sucker in my mouth saying Da Da, Da Da. I think he's trying to get a head start on teaching him to say his name first. I can tell, he's going to be the best daddy ever.

Do I look like my Daddy NOW??


This is the beautiful dress that my Anut DU Du got me. Check out cute I am

I"m COOL!!! With My Grandma


Yes< I am Perfect,but I missed my Nana


Yup, I was missing my Nana. She tried at the last minute to get a passport, but couldn't get it on time. Oh well, I hopefully will see her sooon!!!!!

We Are Home


We just got home a few hours ago. I couldn't wait to get some pictures on here so you all could see how beautiful she is.

Mikes Caramel CUTIE!!!




Mike is trying to make up a rap song about Avea, with caramel cutie in it. He needs a few more lines. Well anyways, this is the last post until we get home. This computer is not cooperating and I am missing precious time with my girl. She´s a happy, happy baby!!! Alway´s smiling and giggling at us. Sunday is going to be terrible. But I am going to think just about today. Hopefully you will all get to meet her soon. I will definately be posting way more pictures when we get home. But time here is flying, and I don´t want to come home. >See you all Monday!!!!

This is the proof!!


This is the proof that I am not the chunker that you all thought I was. Also I do not have any teeth. Good, my mommy wanted to be with me for the first one.

Check me out in my shades!



She is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. I wish you all could see her.

Let´s talk Mulletts!!

It is business in the front, and party in the back. Haven´t trimmed it yet, but it is coming!!



The First Time Mike Held His Beautiful Girl




Wow, it was pretty emotional.

12LBS,60 CM,39 C.C.

I got these measurements along with the pictures tonight. I think the 39 is her head measurement.

WHO WANTS A HUG???


I am ready!! Who wants one first? HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!! I can't wait to give my new family hugs and kisses. I am soooo chunky, I am squeezable and ready for you all. Please no bruises on the cheeks. No chewing, no biting, just kisses please. Love Avea

My cheeks are so big, it's hard to smile!!


We didn't give you the gift of life , But in our hearts we know.
The love we feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true!
No, we didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave us the gift of you!!
