Gotcha Day

So today is the first anniversary of going to Guatemala to adopt David! We call it "Gotcha Day" because this is the day that we finally got David after over three years of paperwork and waiting. We are going to celebrate each year by taking David out to eat and getting him a gift. This year we ate at Jimmy's Egg, and David prayed, "Dear God, thank you for pancakes!" We bought him a beginner set of Legos. We quickly built a house like on the box while Mama built little replicas of each of us. I saw some flags on the box, and I made an American and Guatemalan flag, which David found cool because they match the ones in his room.

He did make us laugh when he opened the Lego box. The pieces came in plastic bags, and before we could get scissors, David was trying to open the bags with his teeth. What a problem solver!

We spent the rest of the day playing with Legos, baking cookies, writing on the driveway with chalk, watching our "Guatemala Scrapbook Video" and just enjoying being around each other!
