We are HOME!













Our trip to Guatemala was amazing. God truly had His hand on us and protected us the entire time. It was beautiful there and our meeting with Creighton went wonderfully. He is adjusting well. He is eating and sleeping great. He was great the time we were in Guatemala, but I can honestly say he didn't seem at home until he met his sisters. They all get along and Creighton has two "mother hens" to help take care of him. He likes to tackle a lot and even though this will come in handy when he is older and playing American football, it's not exactly what his sisters are use too, but they still laugh.

He is all boy and loves BALLs of all sports . He kicks and throws like a 5 year old. He kisses on the cheek, hugs and smiles us like he has always known us. He is struggling with the word "No" I think in spanish it must translate as lie on the floor and cry, but it's getting better. He is learning and adjusting and so are we. It may be a while before I have my rhythm as a Mommy of three, but it's such a blessing and I am so thankful.

Sorry it has taken me a few days to post some photos. We traveled through Atlanta to Guatemala. The drive to and from Atlanta took two days each way. We arrived safe and sound (thank God) late Tuesday evening. The roads were icy and slick and cars were on each side lined all the way from Kentucky....I prayed the entire time . Much like this entire Journey to bring Creighton home.....it was a long road and steeped in prayer the entire time!
Here are a few photos...we took 412....so atleast 400 are great photos! I may not be able to share them all , but I will try to share my favorite over the next few days. You can also check out our adoption journey below:
