Another Fun Day with Kya's Best Friend GIA!!!!

HOLLY, GIA AND ANIMAL TO THE RESCUE!!!

Holly, Gia & Animal came over to hang out with Kya and I today. We had alot of fun and got stuck in the rain out by the pool with Jackie and Dulce as I call her, her baby is 3 weeks old. We had kind of a bummer day yesterday so the crew came to cheer us up. Thankfully the hotel is full of families again which helps the time pass. Looks like we will be heading to Jersey to hang out with Holly, Gia and all the Brown girls when we get home.

Dont know why there are three of these in a row but Oh well....here is one

Our Cutie Pie

The MARRIOTT MOM!

Well we have now been here for one month. We are still enjoying ourselves...but how could we not we have been treated like royalty (all I need is my crown) by the staff her at the Marriott. I let Shawn know that when I get home I want fresh flowers delivered to my room each week, breakfast brought to me each morning, and FRESH SQUEEZED JUICE. As if he does not spoil me enough...can you imagine the mess of him making fresh squeezed juice...ha ha. They are really making us feel right at home and I am making some life long friends.

Now for the important stuff.....Kya Blu gets more beautiful, more "Advanced", or "Gifted" and more popular, more funny and more in love with her favorite cartoon Back Yardigans everyday. Yesterday Kya's Mommy got the "Guatemala Poop Flu" and the staff here had the Dr. come and got me a antibiotic and I am now feeling much better. Today we had a fun day meeting Cara and Leslie from Across the World Adoption Agency. We met them and Mayra for lunch at La Vista we had a great visit...I hope I didn't talk to much..ha ha. They were wanting to meet Kya's Doctor, Dr. Montiel so Mayra called and he was free. Kya's Dr. appointment was scheduled for Friday but we went with them and he saw her today. On the way there Mayra got a flat tire....She changed it her self in the middle of the Guatemala City traffic. Cara, Leslie, Kya and I went ahead and walked to Dr. Montiels office where Kya Blu Angelica weighed in at 10lbs 10oz she gained almost 2 lbs this month...she likes to eat just like her mommy. She also got her Polio Vaccination today. It was nice to get out of the hotel for a while and it was great to get to meet Cara and Leslie in person. When I got back to the room, room service brought me up a meat, cheese and desert tray on the house...from the sales and management department...I thought it was so "dulce" which means sweet of them.

Tomorrow I have a Spanish lesson and then we get to hang out with Holly and Gia...which we always look forward to. Holly is also fostering but staying in an apartment so she comes over a few times a week to hang out. I am really getting attached to Gia too. Also I am very excited Jana and Minnie are coming here tomorrow. Ok Jana I may be more excited to see Jenna than you but I am sure you don't mind haha. I am ready for all the military people that are here to go home because they are taking up all the rooms and there are not many families here right now. They are having a peace training exercise here and military officers from the US and Central America are all staying here. Well Kya has had enough of her bouncy seat and wants her mommy so I will go for now...We love you all very very much.

Hugs and Kisses Kya and Oh are you Kya Blu's Mommy

Life with a Princess

Life with a Princess
Kya would like to say Happy Fathers Day to Her Prince Charming her Daddy!!!!
Shawn came down for a visit this weekend....but it went by too fast. Kya really enjoyed getting to play with and sleep by her Daddy. I got to leave the hotel for the first time....yipppeee!!! The manager of the Hotel Velveth, her husband and there daughter Sophia took me to the craft market by the Airport. I bought Kya some really cute dresses and hats. Then we went to Chili's to eat...another Yippppeeee!!! American food! Then on Sunday I got to go to the grocery store called Paiz with her. Shawn watched his Ky Ky while I was gone...he is really a great dad. He has no problem changing dirty diapers or getting up with her at night. He was really sad when he had to leave us again. We hope he comes back soon.

Kya is growing and changing every day. She laughed out loud for the first time on June 7th...when we were playing the getcha getcha game...me tickling her. She has a cold right now, the Dr. gave us some medicine for today. They also changed her formula because she was having too many dirty diapers. I think she weighs about 9 1/2 lbs now. She loves to be around music and loves to watch cartoons already. The cartoons here are all in Spanish. I am taking Spanish lessons once a week now. I am also picking it up from listening to the cartoons. We got to talk to and see Miriah today on the Web Cam ...I was so glad I have been missing her too much.

Happy Fathers Day to my Hubby, Grandpa JD Jr, The Late Grandpa JD Sr, Grandpa Teel, Kirby, and all the other Dad's we know and Love.....We hope to see you all by the end of Summer...Hugs Candy and Kya Blu
