Days 6 & 7

Thursday was spent in Antigua. We had a great lunch at a converted monistary the Casa Santa Domingo. A friend Raul drove and toured us around the town. Today Raul took us around to see the sights in Guatemala City.

Day 5

Madison and Monroe on Wednesday morning. We had breakfast and walked around with them in their strollers. The picture was taken in the Family Room; the girls needed to run and play. Monroe's DNA test result is at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala. Yesterday Madison's DNA test results left Greensboro, this morning left Miami and should arrive at the U.S. Embassy today. We will be trying today to get an appointment now that at least one of the girls DNA is here.

Day 4

Left: Monroe Right: Madison

Day 3

Monday we walked to a few shops and had coffee at the Weston. In the afternoon we took the girls grocery shopping and Mel and Deb got a little sun by the pool. We learned that Monroes DNA test was complete and being shipped to the U.S. Embassy here in Guatemala. Once we can get Madisons DNA completed, which we hope will be today, we can get the appointment scheduled with the Embassy.

Day 2

In our arms forever. The first breakfast all together with Auntie Mel and Auntie Deb. Madison is sleeping after all the food and fun. Monroe is posing for the camera. They are unbelievably beautiful. The first night was sleepless--they slept some, but we did not. Today they are adjusting well. We will post more photos and information...

On Our Way to Guatemala

Look for the next post--it will be from Guatemala! We are going to have the girls in our hands by 6 p.m. tomorrow! See you then...

Girls DNA Has Arrived in NC

The DNA samples taken last Tuesday have finally arrived at the Labcorp here in North Carolina. As soon as the testing is complete and the results are back at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala we will be able to schedule our appointments and then get them on that plane headed for home.
