Zach is just such a blessing. He has his moments where he is very cranky, but for the most part he is just a happy baby.
Our trip to Guatemala was longer than expected, but everything worked out and we come home late yesterday.
I want to wish you all the best in your adoptions, and hope to be able to post at least every once in a while.

Sorry to hear that you are sick - probably the change in weather and surroundings - that often happens to me when I travel.
Looking forward to more pics and news about how things are going.
Best wishes,

Points: 2,845.42 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 2,845.42 | We stayed at the Radisson. It was a great hotel. For $99 per night we got a breakfast buffet that was great, and a mini suite. They have free internet access too. I would highly recommend them. There was a little market near there that was great to buy typical Guatemalan stuff. You go out the door of the Radisson, to the right, and when you see the Holiday Inn, you take another right. Look to your right, and you will see some little shops in the alley way.
Also, there is a little lady that is carrying her 1 year old baby girl in a pouch, and alot of handmade goods on her head. She is really sweet and speaks good English. If you see her, tell her Jennifer and Greg say hello. She sold us 2 handmade blankets for $75. She was so nice, and waved everyday she saw us out.
We didn't get to do much sightseeing, as we didn't have much money to spare since we had to stay longer than expected. You can get a taxi ride to the Zoo, or to the Artisan market. We drove past both of them, and it looked really cool.
If you need to know anything else, please let me know.

Jen-Duck!!!! I'm so happy for you, that you are going to visit!!! The internet is on the 6th floor (the family floor) If you are able to stay on that floor, you will be with other adopting families. It was so neat to see all the babies coming and going.
Oh, I hope, I hope you are done in 3 months!!!
Keep us posted, and I want to hear about your trip.
If you have any questions, about the Radisson or anything around it, please let me know.
Best wishes,
