November Visit


After a month and a half, we finally got back to visit Peter on November 8, 2007. I had visited him every month since July but our family decided to do a family vacation to Florida in October so we missed visiting Peter that month. Mommy, Daddy and Taylor got to go to Guatemala this trip! The hotel we have always stayed at, Grand Tikal Futura, is connected to a shopping mall. This comes in handy for taking walks with Peter and also at meal times for the girls. The food court there has American food chains like McDonalds, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and Dominos. We would pick up fast food for Taylor and then eat nice food in the hotels' restaurant while she kept Peter occupied and happy. Taylor and I went shopping at a local market with some other adopting moms while all the dads stayed at the hotel and babysat! Peter is such a good baby...except during the night when he wakes up ALOT!!! It's always so hard to leave Peter and return to MN. We had hoped to get back in December to pick him up but it didn't work out that way and now it will be almost 3 months since this visit until we go for our final trip. We know he is in good hands with Brenda, her mom and her daughter Natalie. Peter even has a foster sister that Brenda cares for too. We also know God is watching over him and protecting him until we can be together as a forever family. We are so thankful for all the prayers from our family, friends and church family. You are all such a blessing to us!!!
