Today was so full and so fun! We got up early this morning and headed out to Antigua. We had the wonderful privilege of meeting a friend there. Meghan is fostering her daugher (Baby Z) in Antigua. You can visit her blog at http://adoptingbabyz.blogspot.com/. Meghan, thank you so much for inviting us over. God has blessed you with an amazing family! Would it be OK with you if I post a group picture? We had so much fun saying hi!
After we returned from Antigua, we headed to the pool at our hotel for a "Guatadopt.com" party. We got to meet many of the families from across the country that we have been corresponding with through the online adoption forums and blogs. It was fun to trade stories and see these beautiful children, most of whom are going home with their parents in just a few short days.
Here are some highlight pics from the day:
Shopping in Antigua~ We bought Isabella a couple little things. I plan to put them away and save them for her when she is older and wants to know about her beautiful birth country.
The girls standing in the coutyard of a hotel in Antigua 
Beautiful, fresh fruits and veggies~ We sampled a couple and they were GOOD! Kirk was braver that I was, though.
Kirk snuck a shot of these unbelievably gorgeous ruins in someone's back yard.
Lovin' on my girl!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
