Over the last couple days Max, my parents, and I have been taking in some of the sites of Antigua. On Tuesday, we went to an old ruin on the side of town known as the San Jeronimo School. It was built in 1757 and was then destroyed by earthquakes in 1773. It was a very tranquil place to walk around while my father took tons of video and photo (this is definitely his thing). Prior to heading out on Tuesday, Max decided to take his morning nap on Grandpa's lap (very cute). Then on Wednesday we were back to Hotel Antigua for a Christmas luncheon with a number of other adoptive families who are down here right now either visiting or fostering their children. It was very nice to visit with other families going through the same process and to see Max interact with some of the other children. We all have been having the best time.
As most of you know, we have been waiting WAY too long to bring our sweet Maxito home from Guatemala. Due to unforeseen delays we have decided to begin the next leg of our adoption journey in Antigua, Guatemala. At the end of November 2007, I will be staying down in Guatemala until our adoption is finalized. Around the same time, Max will also have his first birthday (hooray)! We are so excited and so anxious all at the same time.
We hope you enjoy our 'snapshots' highlighting our journey at finally become a true family!
