Time is flying way to fast for this momma. Hope you are the most fascinating little person. Everyday you are my inspiration. Your love for GOD'S creation is most amazing. There isn't one day that goes by that you aren't totally devoted to bringing
what you have collected into our house ...I'm not always happy about those critters my love girl!!! But I am behind you and your love for GOD'S little creatures.
You started Classical conversations campus, officially on Sept. 4th, 2013, and Mommy loves teaching your class. You are amazing! You have learned the 44 presidents, 7 continents, 4 oceans, 7 biomes, 8 parts of speech, latin conjugation endings present tense, skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's, the old testament, the new testament, Psalms 23, psalms 8:9, Psalms 19:11, John 3:16 and more...You have a love for learning and you are doing so well.
You are so full of JOY. You love to sing and celebrate your love for GOD with Hebraic worship dance before HIM! You have a great love to help others and to do what we ask of you. You are a leader, learning how to follow GOD. You are so beautiful HOPE, on the inside and the outside.
We talk alot about biblical characters and how the obedient ones stand out to GOD and mean the most to him because they care the most about pleasing HIM and not following the ways of the world or their own fleshly ways or desires. You get the broad road and the narrow road and give me examples of why you don't want to follow or be like those who choose the broad road. I am so blessed to hear that you have chose a greater way of looking at life....you are Living GODS heart!!!!
I am so blessed to have you in my life...I love you dearly my child of GOD-my daughter!
Happy Birthday,
Mommy and Daddy

Outdoor Fun.....
Our Dear Sweet Hope! Life wouldn't be life without her...she is the highlight of our day all day long. She is so much fun! Her personality is really peaking now. She is a jokster. It doesn't help when I am trying to dress her or get her to stand still. She always used to work with me before, when I told her to help me.."what is mommy doing",..hold still,..help me. She always did great! Now everything is funny to her. On the flip side of that, I was warned about a possible "Latino" temper from another adoptive mom. I also get to see that side once in a while. THe little boy that I take care of during the day has brought out even more of that SIN nature in Hope...if she thinks that "Will" is violating her space...I have seen her make a face and then grab his arm for a pinch and squeeze. The first time I saw that, I was thinking, "who taught my angel that?!" At this point all kinds of new things are surfacing. We are having the time of lives, to say the least!!!!!!!
THese are just a few random photos. We have many more that we will put on the family blog link above. We got some great Zoo pictures this year....
March 14th UPDATE
We have arrived in Guatemala safely. We will be in the lobby at 8 AM to pick up our sweet baby Hope. I am not sure if I will get back to post tomorrow or not so I wanted to let you know that we arrived safely. It is a beautiful Hotel "Beautiful",
and very clean. Everyone is very very nice here. I was told that on the 9th floor there is free food and bottled water for those who are adopting...that is where we are right now. The guy who drove us from the airport to the Grand Tikal, our hotel, told us that it's owner is Jewish... oddly enough he has put the whole Torah..the first 5 books of the bible in hebrew and english up here in this adoption lounge. That is a very unexpected find needless to say.
We met a lady on our flight who lives here and gave us her phone number if we were to need anything at all. She owns a business here in Guatemala, only a few minutes from our Hotel. She gave us alot of information regarding things to see and places to shop.
Well stay tuned..it won't be long and you will find some pictures. Lots of love and good night... wish you were here MOM !!! XXXXOOOOO

November 2007 ..On An Old blog/ Hope was 46 days old here....
Today's Date: Jan. 25, 2009.....
I was checking my traffic widget below and saw that someone came onto my blog thru a site called: "Guatadoptbabyhope" and for a minute I thought: who has highjacked my blog or something...I checked it and it was an old blog that I had used for our fundraiser information. At the time, I kept Hope's current picture on there while we were doing the fundraisers. After that I started a timeline blog and did not go back to delete that blog...so it caught me by surprise...I HAD FORGOT ABOUT THAT BLOG!!!! But it is so cute and brings back those memories...so I want to post the link HERE so I can go back and view it. It is really perfect timing though because:
Hope's first "GOTCHA DAY" celebration is just around the corner....MARCH 15th...We are so excited! I can't believe that she has already been home for almost a year! Time has flown and so many things have happened that continue to FILL US UP with JOY over flowing! We love you our SWEET HOPE!
