More Pictures

Tonight we went to an authentic Guatemalan resturant with a wonderful couple Cluadia and Benardo who work in Guatemala for our adoption agency. They were kind enough to bring us to " La Merced" a beautiful church downtown. This church has special meaning to us because Olivia's foster mom would bring her to church there on Sundays. It is a beautifully ornate church built 200 years ago and was really a sight to see.

Diner was great and it was fun tasting some authentic food and watching Olivia being a ham, she really enjoyed the company of Cluadia and Bernardo as did we. They are wonderful people and we can't thank them enough for helping us through this process with the great monthly updates, helping us yesterday at placement and for being great friends today.

So here are some more pics of our little showoff

Thank you Shannon for the great idea of filming the DVD while it plays!! This will have to do until I get the proper program. The quality is not very good doing it this way but it's better than nothing.
