Why was my SUNDAY...so awesome???

Because I have the BEST FOSTER FAMILY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. I think that GOD knew that since I could not foster Jagger myself this time around that he needed to find the PERFECT family to take care of him for me. Well he made a perfect match. Aida...loves my son just the way I would and Gaby..well we are two peas in a pod...we will be life long friends.

SO now why was today so special because we got to watch our SON on the Web Cam for almost 2 hours today. I also got to talk to him through Yahoo...so he could hear my voice. He was so cute it looked like he was looking for me and then he kept kissing Gaby. Kya got to see him too and when she saw him she was talking to him saying Hi, Bye, Hi, Bye and by the time we got off was calling him baby and Jag. I had laminated some pictures of him for her to play with and when she saw him on the computer she ran and got the pictures of him and gave one a KISS...Oh I love my children.

Gaby had also been sending me pictures of our son...how often you ask??????EVERYDAY. Can you believe it? I am loving this so much. This is the next best thing to being there with him myself. I am counting down the days to Thanksgiving that is for sure. I cried tears of joy when I saw how they had decorated his crib. Gaby says they are having so much fun with the toys and clothes I left for him. He loves his bouncy seat and can already play with the toys on it and he usually falls asleep in it. Tomorrow I will post pictures of Aida and her family.

Oh SON....you light up my life already
Most Valuable Player in our BOOK for sure!!!
Hello AMERICA...you all been missing me much???

Day 4 and 5

Day four we packed up and moved into my other home away from home the MARRIOTT. We then took Jagger to baby photo to have his pictures made. We should have the proofs next week. He was a MESS...he did not want to take a picture with out his MOMMY. We then went to lunch with Maria and Pepe at Ta Cal....it was AWESOME...it is traditional Guatemalan food. We then got to go see Maria and Pepe's new CASA...which is so amazing. We are so happy for you and can't wait to try to keep Kya and Jagger off your stairs and out of your indoor fountain. I will post pictures of there house in a few days, they are on my moms camera and we don't have a cord to download them. We then headed back to the Marriott. We had a nice visit with Mariam and her family...a friends foster family. We then did a little more shopping and then ate a nice dinner at Sirabella. Wednesday morning we had breakfast with Velveth and then Maria and Pepe took us and Jaggy to the airport. Yes, I was crying the WHOLE WAY and I kissed him 1000 times. We had such a great trip and I really appreciate all my Guatemalan family who take there time to take us all over Guatemala....you know more of my heart stays in Guatemala each time I visit. Jagger was a totally dream baby...he LOVES to eat and was taking about 5 oz every two hours by the time we left. Also he loves to sleep on his MOMMY...I have a cute picture of that on my moms camera too.

DAY 3...in the life and times of JAGGER

We got up and had an AWESOME breakfast that Patti and Juanita made for us. We then went into Antigua shopping at all the markets. I carried Jagger in his MOBY wrap all day and he just LOVES it and so do I...because he is so close to me and he rubs his little hand on my chest the whole time. We then met Gaby and Aida, Jagger's foster family. First we set up the web cam and digital camera we took on Gaby's laptop. Well I should say I sat and WATCHED Gaby install the software for these things. Gaby is so SMART and beautiful. I just love her family already. I can tell already that my Guatemalan Family just grew when they came into our lives. I know we will always have a relationship with them and that Gaby and I will be great friends for life. We had the best lunch with her and her mom at the Filadelphia Coffee Plantation. Her mom really loves getting to foster the babies. Jagger is her seventh baby. She has had 5 boys and 2 girls. She is doing so many things for us so that he will be an easy baby for us when he comes home. I have pictures of them with us but they are on the camera I gave Gaby so I will have her send them to me in a few days. When we got back to the Inn, Maria's parents were there to take us to dinner at Hotel Antigua...YES WE ATE ALL THE TIME...We had such a great evening with them too. We got a tour of the hotel from one of the owners who is friends with Maria's family. It really was a PERFECT and RELAXING day with the LITTLE MAN OF MY DREAMS...JAGGY POO

Live with Jagger Day 2

Things are going good here. Yesterday was a bit hectic just trying to get settled in and getting to know Jagger....but today was nice and peaceful. Yesterday Maria Izabel brought Jagger to me at the airport...which was AWESOME and now she has us living like ROCK STARS again in the Apartment here at the bed and breakfast. Yesterday I had lunch with Velveth and her family and met with Hector my Facilitator. That meeting went very well. I got a pretty good time line of when things will be done and I got to learn about Jagger's birth family who I will get to meet this time. I am so excited about this.

Things are pretty calm here in Antigua. I met two other moms today that are fostering here. No dramatic news of any problems with the cases in process. So all in all the adoptions seem OK for now.

Today was very special because I got to take Pictures of Jagger on the exact same Piano that I took pictures of Kya on last OCT. When I moved into Lions Inn last year there was a Piano Concert the day I moved in...just so happend the concert for this year was last night. After the mini photo shoot...we went shopping in Antigua and then to eat at a very wonderful reastraunt...Las Palmras...or something like that. It was so wonderful because I brought a MOBY wrap this time and it is the BEST WRAP EVER...I promise I have bought about 5 others and none of them are comfortable. I wore Jagger in the Moby Wrap...ALL DAY and my back or shoulders never hurt and he was SNUG and HAPPY. I really got a chance to bond with him today and it was wonderful...all except for the little thought that creeped into my head after dinner when I leaned down to kiss him...Oh my gosh I have to go home with out him on WED. I will leave you all with a few pictures from today...Oh and Kya got to meet her brother VIA WEB CAM today and it was so sweet she was blowing him kisses...Hugs Candy and Jagger
