Daddy here. It's amazing to think that these days receiving our file so that we can correct yet another ridiculous error is good news, but it is. We got word on Friday that after about 7 weeks of trying to get our file our lawyer was finally able to retrieve it from the PGN. That's it. No more updates for now. No more predictions. Those haven't worked. Just trying to continue our efforts to get Max home ASAP. We'll keep you up to date though!Friday was Halloween also and we weren't sure Max was going to get to celebrate, but Ana Maria who helps us with Max was sweet enough to bring over a costume for Max. He was a brown care bear. I'm glad she didn't bring pink or try to make him Rainbow Bright. She took him to a day care where all of the kids had costumes and they ate cookies and drank juice. While I'm sure the cookies weren't windmills, and the juice wasn't Hawaiian Punch, I am sure he loved it. He then got to search the house for "hidden" candy. Pretty tough to find on the couch, on the beds, on the coffee tables. It's like the search was designed for me. He also loved his costume. He got upset when we took it off, and we had to put it on again over the weekend. Next year we think he will be Scarface.
Here in Guatemala they don't really celebrate Halloween as much as they celebrate Day of the Dead. As far as we have been able to tell, this means that they all make kites and fly them in the cemetery. Two cities have big kite festivals, but unfortunately we weren't able to get to either of them. Instead we went to the Bodegona. This is the Guatemalan A & P. Pretty fun.
Hope everyone had a good Halloween and rotted their teeth out like a good kid would. Enjoy exciting video of Max eating bread!!
xxoo Mark, Jen, and Care Bear Max

Love the Care Bear!! Happy Halloween, Max!! Good news about the file...we will take it!! Steps forward are good. Thinking about you all!
Anything moving forward is better then nothing, I hope they freakin get it right this time. Did Santa Rosa get a new slide? I'm glad you are being able to spend more time together, even if it is in Guatemala. I can't remember what day this month is Max's birthday but I hope he gets a cool pinata to hit, they have the stick upstairs at La Bodegona for a dollar or 2, I brougth mine home and we will be using it again this year. Thanks for the updates, tryig to send really really good thoughts the way of your whole case.
Congrats on getting your file! Hope that things continue to move forward.
Great photos. I can't believe he's almost 2. I can't imagine the frustration you guys are feeling...but at least you are all together now.
Max is actually starting to look a little like Mark...maybe just the picture of him sitting in the bucket.
Hang in there. Danielle and I are thinking about all of you.
