We finally have our Girl!!

We arrived in Guatemala on Saturday at around 1:30 and arrived at the hotel just in time for our call that Layla was HERE!!! We have Grandma and Grandpa here and also a good friend that is visiting her little girl so we all headed down to the lobby. I have dreamed of this moment for so long and it was just as special as any of my dreams. The hard part is that Layla has always been excited to see me and she is now at the age where she is scared of people..... Especially Daddy which hurts his feelings so much. (and Mine). She is also not liking her little brother much and he has been making plans for 13 months how he is going to take care of her. We keep telling him that she is sad and will Love him soon. He just keeps kissing her and trying his best to make her like him. I don't think Grandma and Grandpa were prepared for how emotional this was going to be. The foster mom just cried and cried. Grandma was supposed to be in charge of the video camera, but we have mostly shots of the floor because she was too excited. Layla is grieving and though she has taken to me again( Won't let me out of her sight for 2 seconds) she is sad and not herself. It is too bad that this had to drag on for this long so she is this old. We are still not completely done with the process and are waiting to possibly get her passport today. We are here for at least 10 days and really hope that we can all travel home together. I will post pictures soon. She is absolutely Beautiful!!!!
