WE HAVE THEM





Today, we flew to Guatemala City and picked up Tradd and Sophia. The foster mothers brought them to us between 4pm and 5pm Guatemala time. We are 2 hours behind the east coast. Tradd and Sophia are beautiful. The have both changed a great deal since our January visit. Tradd is stronger and more active. Sophia is just ready to take on the world. She is 2 months younger that Tradd but she is going to give him a big challenge. We are all exhausted and are starting now to try and adjust them to what there routines will be back home. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.
