Kellie and Leah have arrived...

My friends, Kellie and Leah arrived on Thursday and we´ve been having a great time shopping, eating out and just visiting. Mia loves playing with them and really likes it when they tell her all about their pets...(Bernie, Gracie and Gilda)

We´ve tried a few new places to eat and went to the market for a few hours yesterday. Today was Mia´s first pool visit. She really liked getting in the water and watching all the other kids playing. I think it wore her out since she took a nap and slept right through all the screaming kids playing in the water. Dennis has booked a trip for this Friday. Hopefully, he will be making a trip back soon to take us home. I´m thinking that I will hear something next week.

Enjoy the pictures.

Back in the process as of July 1st

Hello,

I found out yesterday that we are back in PGN as of July 1st. PGN is the last stage of the process. I´m hoping for a speedy approval and trip home. The lawyer will check back in the next few days to see if there has been any progress. Things are going well in Antigua. Not much to report. I´m waiting for friends to arrive tomorrow and looking forward to the company. Mia loves to have people stay with us because it gives her more things to watch. She loves to stare and I call her a little ¨news nose¨ because she is always watching everyone...

We miss everyone and can´t wait see you.

More soon.

Mia´s 5 months

Hola,

Mia is now 5 months and changing every day. She is eating cereal and as you can see...really filling out. Heather left this morning at 4:00am. She was such great company for Mia and me. Mia keeps looking at the stairs waiting for Heather. I´m not going to break the news to her that Heather is gone until later today. We found a wonderful little place for food. It is called Frieda´s and we´ve been there at least three times over the last couple of days. We keep trying other places but nothing compares. Tomorrow we are going to the pool at Hotel Antigua. I´m not sure how Mia will react to swimming. She likes her bath time, so maybe that will be a good sign. I (Heather) was able to send Dennis a short movie of Mia saying goodnight. Every little bit helps when you´re this far away.

We miss everyone. Enjoy the pictures and happy 4th!
