wow so much to update sorry, I will have to come back and post about our trip and visits with the boys when I have more time. But wanted to say we are adopting two boys Sebastian and Jaxon here are some pictures of them.We hope to go back for them in September.

we are here

We are here,it is so pretty.it was a long flight we are tired but got some good sleep last night and are going to be picked up to go to sebastians city at 11:00 so excited.

we went to the mall to exchange money.I have never seen such a huge mall and it had in it a store that was like a walmart it even had some of the same things in it like the shoes I just got from our walmart back home not sure the name of this place but it everything if I had known that I would have just waited till we got here to buy our shampoos and stuff. we got some crackers and some water.
  Our driver is Fullip he is a young guy only 20 reminds me of Josh. He is a sweet kid and think we are going to get along great with him,he will go with us to each visit and translate for us he even stays in the same hotel with us so if we need him he is always there.
Can't wait to see our little guy,not sure if we get to see him today or not.
here are a few pictures it is so pretty here.

Happy Birthday Sebastian

Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy who is 3 years old today.We love you so much and we are so sad you have to spend this birthday without us but next year we will have a huge party for you.I don't know if they did anything for your birthday today or if it was just another day but we were all thinking about you we love you sweet boy. Happy Birthday !
