We're Home!

Our last family photo taken about 15-20 minutes before we said Goodbye to our sweet son. I just love how he is leaning into his daddy. We love you Hudson!!

He just loves being a "nekid kid" as Paige says! :)

Right after your bath...He loved his bath, just sat quietly and enjoyed the nice warm water!

We set up our camera in our room to get our family picture. Then Clint started "ooh ooh ahh ahh" to get Hudson to laugh and then right before it took, he ran back to us. Hudson just laughed and laughed...even after the picture was taken. He loves his Daddy!!


We made it home safely...got in around 5 a.m. today, slept until 11 and then got our girls! We were all so happy to see each other...we all just laughed and laughed as they clobbered us in hugs! That was fun! We are so happy to be home but feel a part of our hearts still in Guatemala... Thank you so much for the prayers...saying Goodbye was okay. I cried some but did not sob like I thought I might. I could feel your prayers. Please keep them coming. After we gave Hudson back we walked around the block outside...it was our first time out of hotel since we got there. A young boy about 18 months and his family was walking in front of us. From behind he looked just like an older Hudson...I missed him. At the airport, I heard babies crying and I thought, oh I want to hold my boy...I loved comforting him. We went through American customs and the man said "welcome home." I am so glad to be home, but I feel kind of sad too. I LOVED Guatemala...the people were so nice...and being with Hudson was priceless. I miss him, but I am trusting that we will soon be back to bring him home. When Felipa came to pick him up, she was so excited to see him. I am so thankful that she loves him...she adores him!! He was just laughing and beaming at her...then I started to feel sort of left out and he looked at me and just smiled and laughed. I needed that, he is such a joy! I told Clint (probably the second day in) that "Hudson is feeling like such a part of me now. I have always loved him as my own, but now he truly feels like a part of me." Does that make sense? This trip was so worth it...God is faithful! I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your friendships, knowing that you are holding us up in prayer. Thank you!
