Dear Sam


Dear Sam,
Mommy and Daddy have landed after the long trip to Guatemala. We took 2 planes to get here.
We are staying at a very pretty hotel, but I don't think it can be as fun as "Hotel Mimi Papa"!
We were so happy to get to meet Luciana at 4:00! She was wearing a pink bow in her hair and a cute dress with a matching pink bow. She smiled at us a lot. Her foster mom looked at all of the pictures of you and said that you would be a good Big Brother! She has a little boy your age. Actually, she has FOUR children, and we got to meet them all. I will show you pictures of them when we get home.
Soon after we talked with Luciana's foster family, we came up to our room and gave her a bottle. She really liked that. We also gave her her "Sam Bear". That made her smile, too.
She was really tired from her long day, so we put her in her new Jammies, and she is fast asleep. Did you see the picture of her sleeping with her Sam Bear?
We love you and are sending a blow kiss.
Snuggles,
Mommy, Daddy, and Lucy

I called your mom tonight, heard her voice, and started to cry. It seems like we were just talking about you adopting from Guatemala, and now, here you are-- holding that precious and gordeous little girl! I know it's been a long road, and it's not over, but I am so happy that you are there and able to spend this time with your little Luciana.
I love the photo you sent! She is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see more pics and videos.

Have so much fun!

Dear Mom, Dad, and Lucy,

I am so happy you are together. Mimi and I keep looking at your pictures. She has read your letter to me many times!

Lucy, do you like your bear? I can't wait until we can play together. I miss you all.
