One of the most amazing days of our lives! The day we had anticipated for since we saw Tyler's picture for the 1st time on March 21st.
Mark and I flew out of St. Louis on a 6am flight and arrived in Guatemala at around 12:30, after getting our luggage and finding the Marriott driver to get us to the hotel, we probably didn't get there until around 2:30 or so. We got to our room and started to get the gifts ready that we had brought for everyone.....mostly to take up time, you can only imagine how our stomach felt. Tyler wasn't expected to arrive until 4:00. It got closer and closer and we got more and more anxious. FINALLY........the phone rang! It was our fallicitor and our attorneys wife and what ended up in the end to be Tyler's foster dad:) They were downstairs in the lobby! We couldn't get down there fast enough. I had no idea what these people looked like and who to look for but I sure knew exactly who they were when I recognized Tyler:) That was an awesome feeling to know him already.
TEN LITTLE PIGS:)
HE HAD 4 TEETH WITH SEVERAL MORE WANTING TO COME THROUGH SOON
