We are finally ready to goooooooooooo

Wow, what a day..............yesterday we were running around doing last minute things - one of these days we'll learn to plan ahead and to get stuff done ahead of time. LOL. And today we had to get Peter a new car seat, so Anna can have his - and of course the one we wanted the store was out of, so we had to go to another store, just more running around.

While out shopping, Margaret received a phone call with some bad news. Margaret´s brother in-law died today, and as of now they really don´t know why. It was very upsetting news to get, since he was only 49 and it just happened out of the clear blue sky. Margaret couldn´t believe it, and it was very upsetting. News like this, makes one think - what if that was me, what if it happened to me, yes, I know it didn´t, but ¨what iff¨. This evening, Margaret and Kerry and Peter went to Margaret´s mother´s house to visit her sister and their daughther along with the rest of the family. On the way Home, Margaret stopped by the store to buy a card for her sister to mail it to her - so she knows we will be thinking about her and her daughter while we are in Guatemala. It´s times like this, when we are so thankful to have the family we have - because Margaret´s sister and daughter will have the support 24/7.

We are finally packed and ready to go. Just hope all the luggage is going to fit in the car service auto. LOL.

wow, in about 13 hours we will be holding Anna - for good!

Well, Margaret sill has some stuff to do, so please check the blog while we are in Guatemala, because we will be updating it daily with pics and news.

Have a great weekend,
