Yesterday was great. We got to the airport in plenty of time and met Deb and her whole family. That was really great. Eliana loved the monkey I bought for Clay. We left Charlotte about 30 minutes late and arrived in Guatemala the same. We had a very uneventful trip to the Westin and as Matt entered he got a really big hug and about the time he said that I saw Clay and our Foster Mother. She gave me a big hug to and we tried to talk while Matt checked in. Clay has his two bottom teeth!! Soon after Miriam (interpreter) and Clay's Foster Father came in. It felt good to get here and see familiar faces and wanted. I was wondering when they would be here and to get here before us felt amazing!! We talked for quite awhile before they went home and I am going to be able to get Clay's first haircut. I learned where Clay's birth name came from and told them the meaning of Clay's name to us and how it was special.
Clay loved the monkey from the start and last night I was really glad to have brought it. It even had its own seat on the flight to Guatemala. We had a really rough night as Clay really missed his foster family (parents for right now). I finally got him to sleep around 11 and he slept till this morning. He is doing really well today. I missed him so much and being back with him is GREAT (A Blessing) even if the first night or next few aren't easy. It will be the last time we are able to come before pick up.
They are going to pick Clay up Thurs morning at 9 am.
Here are a few pictures from our time with Clay so far!!!
