IT'S A MATCH!
Looks to me like Eliana has Momma's hair! When we received Eliana this afternoon she was in the middle of her nap! Eliana immediately felt safe in Lindsey's arms and just kept right on snoozing.
By the way, we spent our first night in Antigua, which we absolutely love! It's a gorgeous little town just west of Guatemala City full of culture!
We were so excited to get to see our friends Melissa and Madi! We had dinner last night with her in Antigua at Hotel Posada de Don Rodrigo!
We picked up Lauren today at the airport just before checking into the hotel in Guatemala City! We are so glad she's with us! She's already been a great Aunt...she had the magic touch that put Eliana back to sleep this evening for her next nap! (Leah we miss you and so badly wish Eliana's other Aunt could be here too!)
The girls (Lindsey, Lauren & Kay) just headed down to the lobby to check out the hotel while Daddy and daughter get some hang time! She's actually still working on that nap...which is how I had a moment to give ya'll the update!
So far everything has felt sureal...like are we really in Guatemala right now? It's crazy after staring at pictures for so long to get to hold her! I'm a proud Daddy!
Thank you all for the prayers...we feel it!
Much love,
Chris
P.S. Eliana has a cold/cough right now which makes her not feel great...so pray for that sweet thang that the medicine works & she feels better soon!
Guess who we ran into in Antigua? Our friends at AdoptingBabyZ.blogspot.com....it was SO GOOD to finally meet you all in person!!

Oh, Antigua...that was our first "home" in Guatemala for our two visit trips and part of our pick up trip(our daughter's hogar was there), so it just felt at home for us. I am so glad things are going well. I understand about the surreal feeling. Enjoy each and every moment!

Lindsey and Chris,
I know it will not surprise either of you that as I finally got to see Eliana in Lindsey's arms again I began to cry. Yes, sitting here at work and crying!!!
I could not be more happy for you (that is until you actually bring her home).
I love you all so much and can't wait for more pictures and info.
Talk to one or both of you when you get back home.
Yeah! So exciting! I'm so glad you get to be there and hold her in your arms. I'm praying this week is full of encouragement for all of you. Love you guys.
Very excited for you guys! It's been a blessing following your journey through your blog. God's continued grace and blessings be with you!
