Celebrating the Family

Here are a couple of fun pictures.

Crossing the border from Tijuana to SanDiego

Elia with her Mommy and Daddy in her room






Talked with my daughter some this evening. Elia is doing very well adjusting to her new home. She has some new little furry friends and Pedro their little dog and Elia are already really good friends. I should get some pictures of that soon. She is eating well. Loves all the new and interesting toys she has to play with. She went to church this morning and Mom sang Natalie Grants "Held" while Dad played the piano, and a slide show played in the background. This would NOT be anything strange and new, as they both do a lot musically for thier church all the time. Most of the people in the church did not know Elia was home yet. Near the end of the song, A wonderful friend who has helped them deal with a couple of sticky points during the process, as he knows the courts and legal system, also the highways around Mexico etc. anyway he was dubbed "Uncle Gerry" back around Christmas time. He got to walk out with Elia and hand her to her parents as the song was nearing an end EXCEPT the song wasn't really ended, and as he walked out the people caught on and they all started to clap, so he just handed her over to Becky and she finished singing the song while she held her.
