While the last week has been a wonderful time with the families of the cleft lip and palate kids, we have to admit that finally coming home today has been by far the best part of the week! You will recall that we have been away from our own bed since December the 5th... so it was certainly a welcome sight this afternoon.
Luckily, the house was in pretty good shape (thanks in part to Paul, Lindsey, and Jacob helping to look after it while we were gone)... a little dusting needed and a LOT of laundry to be done, mostly. We are now mostly unpacked and already ready to settle in for the night-- are we getting old or what?! It's about 4:45 p.m. here...
Hopefully, Jake (our beloved and well-missed feline child) will come home around dinner-time as usual. Seeing him will pretty much complete our happy home-coming.
In other news, Baby Bell is now almost 13 weeks along in his or her development, and all seems to be going well. Heidi is getting a little sicker in the mornings and at night, but overall has still been pretty lucky to only be mildly affected by "morning sickness". We will be making an appointment with an OB/Gyn in Guatemala City who trained in Texas-- hopefully this month-- and seeing him from now on.
Tomorrow we will get up early like a "normal" Saturday for us and head out to Canilla for clinic and a much-anticipated reunion with the Ficker family! It was wonderful to be able to take so much time out over the holidays for time with friends and family and for rest-- But it also served to remind us how much we love what we are doing here and the people that we are so blessed to work with.
