officially pink!!!

We are officially pink!! Steve and Cody went to the Embassy today and politely asked for an appointment. They were told that they were not supposed to do this, but fortunately there is an appointment tomorrow. They told us that we really weren't even supposed to travel to Guatemala unless we were officially pink...but we took a risk. And all of those prayers paid off. We had been waiting all day for the email that confirms the appointment pink slip and the time. We just found out that we have an appointment tomorrow morning at 7:15 am. 

We got to enjoy a fun afternoon visiting with other adoptive moms. We feel so blessed to get to bring our baby girl home at this age, when we met and know so many families that are still waiting and stuck in the bureaucracy.

It is so weird without the two little ones here. We miss them so much! We constantly find ourselves thinking that we left someone.

We so greatly appreciate everyone's comments and emails. So encouraging!

P.S. More pictures to come tonight!!

PTL!!!!!!!! Amazing news! (But not unexpected!) I love the picture of Cody looking at Kella from the side. It looks almost identical to the one on the sidebar of your blog with Steve looking at her the same way on a previous visit. We will be lifting up prayers at 7:15 tomorrow morning. Love, Sherry

Grandma says...our prayers are answered and we are rejoicing with you that you got the appointment. I will admit, I was alittle sceptical this afternoon, but you know me. haha God has been so faithful to all of you and we will thank Him forever. Happy that your girls are doing so well. I'm not sure Dawn will want to give them up tomorrow. It has been so fun to read the blog and see the beautiful pictures. Where are the two older sisters? Are they out looking for a "friend"? haha Will be anxious to hear more details tomorrow. We love you!

The "non blogger" says GREAT NEWS! She's beautiful and fits right in with your family! We are all so happy for you - I feel like I need to wake the kids up and tell them the news because we've prayed today for the appointment! Enjoy your night and we'll look forward to tomorrow's post!

Love, Beth & family
