Meeting our Son...

Well, here is the first slide show of pictures. This is after a long day of travel. We left our house at 4:00am heading to Guatemala to meet our child. We did not actually have him in our arms until 7:30 that night. It took us a while from the airport to the orphanage. There was confusion with the driver who was taking us. He did not know there was 3 of us, so we had to squeeze into his car with our 6 BIG pieces of luggage, 2 of which were on our laps, for about a 40 minute ride until we could meet his cousin with the van for the rest of the trip.
Once we got back on the road, which is a terrible ride, lots of curves and bumps up a mountain road, we were about 40 minutes from our destination and we were stopped. Apparently in Guatemala when they are doing road construction, instead of direction traffic around the construction, they just stop all traffic and work on the roads. So there we were, sitting in the mountains of Guatemala snacking on what little food we had surrounded by the locals trying to sell us stuff waiting for about 45 minutes until we could continue our journey.
We finally arrived safely to Eagle's Nest and met our son, Nathan for the first time. It was so worth all the stress and pain of traveling for the day. I would do it all over again just to hold him!
Seeing him for the first time is indescribable! He was and is perfect. He was not scared at all. He just looked up at us with those big brown eyes wondering who in the world we were. We were in love the moment we saw him and held him. It was so surreal. I could not believe we had actually traveled this far and were at Eagle's Nest, the place I have only heard of and seen pictures. God is so good!

Well, here is day/night one with our son. More pics and stories to come! Enjoy...
