Daughters

No, we don't have a daughter yet... but we met with the lawyer today to begin the process to solicit permission to adopt one!

This little girl is our next door neighbor. She turned four this week. The dress is one we brought back from our US visit, thanks to Target.

Almost every day when we come home from school or wherever, she runs out to greet us with a big hug and this great grin. She calls Greg "Don Papa" as a joke, and says she wants to come live with us and sleep in our bed and be our little girl. We wouldn't mind at all, but we think her mom may have a problem with that!

She looks so beautiful in her Target dress. The grin is well worth the price of 5 dresses! Mercy would be jealous.

What a cutie! I can imagine that she never wants to take it off. She'll miss you if you get that other rental!

Shelli,

The other rental is only for all the guests, teams, interns that come. We plan on staying put in our house for a while. I really like my house!

About the dress, we actually gave it to her right when we got home, but her mom didnt let her wear it until her birthday. She had to lock it up in the closet to keep her from putting it on every day.

Greg.. Guess being referred to as a Don
makes you realize you are getting old!

Let us know how the adoption process is going.

Am so glad for you guys...with the adoption. Keep us posted.

The neighbor girl is SO cute! Don't think we got to meet her when we were there.

When I first came to Nicaragua I wasn't referred to as a "Don" but after a year here I began noticing that people were starting to call me "Don" Greg. So now I'm officially an old fogey!

Steve - I'm surprised that you didn't see her or HEAR her (she can be quite loud at times!) while you guys were staying here. That pic catches her perfectly...that smile melts me!
