I went out early this morning to have breakfast with my dear friend Melissa and afterwards we caught the tail end of the parade at Central Park. I love Guatemala! I feel so blessed to be here, experiencing and learning about my daughter's birth country. And Independence Day is just fun! There were flags everywhere! Here's a few shots from our morning!

Flags, flags everywhere!

That is so cool!! Thanks for showing the pictures - it made me "homesick"!
You are often at the forefront of my heart and mind - and we are praying for you as you journey through these last days in Guatemala.
One of the good aspects of being down there so long - all the neat things you've gotten to learn and will be able to share with Bella some day.
Kerri and Ruby
Oh, I miss you guys!!!!
Love the pictures. Miss Bella's hair is getting so long! I wish my hair looked that good! Very cute style. What a blessing you have in your attitude my dear! I miss Guatemala SOOOOO much!

Sharon,
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures of Independence Day. I love Guatemala also, my niece was adopted from there and I was blessed to be able to accompany my sister when she went last year to bring her home. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. And, I also loved the picture of Bella. She is just precious.

Thanks for the photos. It is extremely hard to believe that y'all are still there. We should build a big Transporter to bring you to the States and send you back when they check up on you. :)
Love y'all
