Well, after such a long adoption journey, we finally have our wonderful son! He is so amazing! We are all still getting use to one another, but he has bonded nicely with each of us! He knows Bus is the fun one, I am the provider of food and diaper changes, and Hannah, well, Hannah is the big sister!!
Hannah has met her moment of jealousy, and also wants to be like the baby. She wanted a bottle, but I was able to talk her out of it-after she smelled it! She has had a jar of pear baby food, and is begging to finish Caleb's off! Bus and I have both held her in the cradle position-can't leave her out of anything!! Ha ha!
Today we had a wonderful time by the pool! I took a few pictures, and of course will share them-that is why you look at the blog, right?! Hannah swam in the pool, and played with a little 4 year old boy that she met that is being adopted by a lady from Florida! He speaks no English, but they have a wonderful time, anyway, and they just hug and giggle! Isn't it wonderful to be a child, and relate to everyone so well?!
We have our embassy appointment tomorrow at 7:45 am! They tell us it will take about 2 hours! Keep us in your prayers! We will post more later!
Love,
Sabra, Bus, Hannah and Caleb!
P.S. The one picture is of Caleb giving you all a "sleepy kiss" back home!!

Thanks for sending us pictures and comments of your journey. We are so happy for you. Caleb looks so much like his father and dark features like his sister. We can't wait to see him and then watch him grow. I am sure you are keeping a journal of all the special moments. God bless you and your family of four. We will keep you in our prayers

Well, congratulations on making me cry only 6 minutes after I walked into my office this morning! I have never seen a more squeezable face! (No, Bus, I'm not talking about yours...)
Come home soon! I already miss you all - could sure stand for a Hannah hug soon!
Praise God! I am overflowing! I love you guys!

I think he looks like me. My long lost little brother. Takes after me and my chubby little cheeks(when I was a baby).
Your cousin,
Adam Valdivieso
He is very handsome. I had to push Adam off the computer. I can't wait to see him. If you need, Felipe will call and sing Spanish songs to him. Then he will go to sleep so he doesn't have to listen.
La Vern, Felipe, Cory and Adam.
