Jayden Daniel Rhoades-21 months

Happy Birthday Hannah !
Hannah Turned 9 years old.

My Son looks alittle concerned. Looks like he was wondering if the lion was going to bite him.

Jayden at 21 months

Jayden has his own chair right next to my computer. He loves to help me in the mornings with my laundry, and also write a few emails.

Hi Everyone,
We are home with our son Jayden. He is such a joy to have. We are truely blessed. His big sister Hannah is so Happy that he is finally home. What fun they have together.
Everything went really well. Just need to catch up on the sleep. I'm going to start to post pictures from our trip. Guatemala was nice and warm. We stayed at the Tikal. We love that Hotel. The mall also has been remodeled. Very nice. I just cannot believe the Airport in Guatemala City is so very nice also. Last time I was there it was a mess. This time it was almost complete, very big and very nice. I will post more later.

We Got The BC

We got the BC. Now we wait for the 2nd DNA to happen. We are moving. We are so excited to get Jayden home soon.

Were at the civil registery for Jaydens BC

Yesterday we recieved word that we were at the civil registery. This is where you get the BC.
I had heard also from our attorney that with the change in the government, (the new president) it will take up to 8 days to recieve the new BC. So we wait again.
We are happy to hear that we are moving forward.
Also we have not recieved any new pictures of Jayden since Nov. so if we get any soon, I will post them.
