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.

The First Time I kissed my girl!!

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!!

Who is going to chew on my cheeks first???

Wow!! All I could do is laugh. I had no idea that we were going to get another set of pictures before we go. I am telling ya, she looks like she has put on some LBS. And more hammy downs. It is cute, but I would like to see her in something that I sent her. This is another from her Aunt Bessie.

HOLY CHUNKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always have said that I LOVE chunky babies and
I think that I am getting one.

DIDN'T EXPECT THESE PICS!!!!!!!!!!

Still in PGN

I got a update Saturday, that we would not be getting an update until the beginning of the week, because Stephanie the Guatemala coordinator(she lives there) had the flu. It is Tuesday now and the update said we are still in PGN. This is a good thing. On Friday we will be in it for four weeks, but I don't think that one week counted because of holy week. The longer we stay in the better. Hopefully at the most only five more weeks to go. PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!!!! I have been seeing people get out of PGN in 3 to 8 weeks, with no kickouts. PRAY PRAY PRAY!!!!! If she doesn't get kicked out (no previos) we could maybe have her between May and July.

I went to a physcic party in January. The lady told me I would be signing lots of documents. To make sure I dot my I's and cross my T's. She told me I was getting ready to start a family. I said yes, when? She said, looks like 3 to 6 months but I don't feel a flop. She put her hand on her belly, said" I don't feel a flop" she immediately put her hand on my belly said" I don't feel a Flop" she was puzzeled cause she can usually feel it in her belly. I told her I was adopting and she said it all makes sense now. So if she is right that means we will have Avea between March and June. BRING IT ON!!!!!! Let's proove her right!!

Am I Nesting???

Okay, I thought this was something pregnant people do when they're about due. This is what I did all weekend. I put final coat on spare bedroom Friday. Saturday I pulled the carpet and pad, and about a million staples. I wired my lights up in bathroom (I didn't even get electricuted). I put all switch plates and outlet plates back on. Cleaned out two closets. Then I put the dresser together from Ikea. It was in a million pieces, but I did it all in about two hours. Mike nailed the back on in the morning because that made me nervous. Sunday I went to church, cut Beth's, Samantha's, and a little tiny trim on Mackenzie just cuz she jumped up in the chair like a big girl. (watch, her hair will grow fast now). Then I went to Walmart, bought grocery's, bins' so I could organize bathroom, and tried to buy everything for our trip to meet our daughter Avea. Came home hilighted, cut Diana's hair, Calvin's and Laurens. Then I started working on organizing bathroom. Monday got up about 8:30 started in, and finished organizing bathroom, did six loads of laundry, hung it out on line and had it all in folded and put away by 1:00. Started working on Avea's room closet, my closet, my dresser, and a bin of clothes. Gave away five garbage bags of clothes to a church. In the mean time I helped Mike install the new fan light in the bathroom, then went to Lowes to get the linoleum. Whooooooh That's all I did.

So do you call that nesting? Does my body know that she's coming home soon? Or am I just going CRAZY?? (it's probably the later one)
