!!!HOME F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!

We got home last night to the roar of a huge crowd of beloved friends and family.  It was WONDERFUL.  The boys loved it and I think it really meant a lot to them how many people were there to see them.  They LOVED meeting their "Abuelo y Abuela" (Grammy and Grandpa).  They are still talking about it.  

We didn't get to bed until 2:00 AM!  CRAAAAZY!!  The boys were up by 8:30 and we were off!  It's been wild ever since.  Wild means: Great fun + Crazy tantrums + Changing habits = WILD.  :) 

They LOVE Mocha.  One of the tantrums was when I told Daniel that Mocha needed a nap for a while after they had played with her until she was trying to get away!  :)  I think Mocha is really happy with them until they are pulling on her, and then she just tolerates!  It's wearing her out!!

Anyway, here are a few pictures I have from the past 24 hours.
It's really really good to be home.

*Pictures*
In terms of food in Guatemala, non-ethnic that is, Guatemala is know for two giant food chains: Gallo Beer and Pollo Campero Fast Food.  We thought to ourselves -- if this is the last time in Guatemala for a loooong while, then we ought to try out this Pollo Campero thing.  So before we got on the plane, we ate there for lunch.  It was good, but kind of like Wendy's Fries with McDonalds' Chicken.  Oh well.  Here we are having lunch!



The boys were really funny when we got on the escalator at the airport.  It was the first time and Mateo and Ray got on just fine.  I started to walk on with Daniel and at the last minute, he stayed behind!!!  So he laughed hysterically as I tried to run back up the down escalator to get him!!  It was pretty funny.  Other people just chuckled and road down while Daniel stood at the top laughing and me hauling carryons, trying to be faster going up than the stairs were coming down!  Anyway, this photo is our guys looking at the plane in Guatemala!

As soon as the plane finished it's ascent, the boys crashed.  It was kind of funny.  Here's Daniel sleeping on his stuffed dog, not 20 minutes into the flight.  :)


Ray whipped out his book to utilize some "me time" while Mateo was conked out for about a half hour during our flight.  :)
Now that we're home, the biggest toy is Mocha.  You know when there's quiet, it's because they are in the closet where Mocha has hidden and are laying on her and petting her head.  It's pretty cute.  :)  

They have been sleeping for 1.5 hours now!  Good deal!  They needed it.  I'm off to make dinner!
