Hello from Antigua

Hello Everyone,
Sorry I have not been able to post. My mother posted for me on Aaron's blog on Thanksgiving Day. I have since been able to post there once myself.

We were lucky enough to get Lily on her 7 month birthday! She is teething! And, a bit cranky from it. She is now almost 16lbs. She is now eating Gerber baby food at lunch and some rice cereal at breakfast. I tried to give her eggs but she didn't like it. She is no longer waking up for feedings and sleeps great through the night.

We got some good news!!! Our agency emailed us on Tuesday evening to let us know that Lily's birth certificate is in hand! We now just have to wait for Aaron's and as I posted on his blog it should be ready on the 27th. It will take about 1 to 2 weeks for the DNA process and then another 1 to 2 weeks for the U.S Embassy to issue us an appointment. We should be returning very soon! And, we are very happy about that!

We got a nice surprise this morning over breakfast. One of the volcanos outside our hotel room erupted! Whew, that was neat. Unfortunately, for us, it was only smoke. But still was something we never expected to see. Dale got plenty of pictures of that.

We will have to post pictures next week. We forgot to pack the cable to transfer the pitures to our computer. And, our computer cannot directly read our new cameras memory card. Sorry about that but everyone is doing great and I can't wait to share the pictures from this beautiful week.

Love,
Dawn
