Dominic's Homecoming Countdown

This blog was created to keep our family and friends up-to-date during our adoption adventure! Our little guy, Dominic, is in Guatemala and we can't wait to bring him home! *** As of March 30, 2006, we are home and enjoying our new life as a family!

The View from Dominic's Room

We had a MASSIVE snowstorm this weekend . . . I am sure most of the people reading this are exhausted from digging out! The view from Dominic's room was so pretty and peaceful that I had to take a picture. Stay warm and dry! If you are living in a place that is warm and sunny, I am green with envy :)

It's about 80 degrees in CA today.

Lisa, have you heard any new info re: your case? Do you have any idea when you will be back in PGN? I'm saying a prayer for you too.

His room is so cute – And looks much warmer that it does outside :)
