Wow! What a difference a year makes! Last year at this time we were anxiously awaiting news from Guatemala on when Peter's paperwork might be complete. Although we found out after he came home with us that he was officially our son on Oct. 3, 2007, we were not able to bring him home until Jan. 30, 2008. His paperwork was sitting on someone's desk one year ago while we were waiting and wondering why we weren't hearing anything from Guatemala! He should have been home with us for Christmas (and Halloween and Thanksgiving!). You forget all that however once your child is safely in your home! We are just so blessed to have brought him home at 9 months when so many others are still waiting for Guatemalan officials to release their files so their children can also come home. Please be in prayer for the waiting children and their families. We follow so many of their stories on their blogs and it breaks our hearts to see the pain they feel while waiting so long...it certainly could have been us too! Peter is almost 18 months! The time has flown by. What a sweet little boy he is. He is all boy too. He LOVES airplanes, cars and trucks....anything that has wheels and makes lots of noise. He loves his siblings and plays so nicely with Ricky, especially! They are roomies and lifelong buddies! It's so fun to see how brothers bond. In a house with 3 girls it's a refreshing change! Peter is a big fan of Barney and Seseme Street. He loves music and does the funniest dances when he hears a song that "moves him"!!! What a difference one year makes. We could never have imagined the joy that this little boy could bring to our family!!!
