Coming Home

We left the hospital at about 1:00pm today, headed home. Naturally, traffic wasn't on our side, but it could have been worse. At least Isaac likes to sleep in the truck - so far.

Actually, about all he likes to do is sleep. It's still a bit of a struggle to feed, but he's getting better each time and Mommy is amazingly patient.

We bumped into the Savior's Sons team in Chichicastenango. They're staying here in Quiche tonight, then heading up to Uspantan in the morning to do a week of construction work. We really wish we could have spent more time with those guys, but they're staying just a few yards down the street in order to give us some more quiet our first night at home. THANK YOU SO MUCH, GUYS!!! We know that most of you helped build this house and we feel terrible that you're not here tonight, but we really, truly appreciate giving us a quiet night. Isaac might not be too quiet, but at least the rest of the house will be!

The team that was here last week left us an UBER-clean house - thank you SSSOOOO much, too. We also came home to a beautiful and loving banner in the entryway. Oh, and we didn't mention that this team ALSO ambushed us with a baby shower. We truly did not expect to have a baby shower at all, let alone three!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your love, prayers, and generosity, everyone!! Isaac is the best equipped kid in the whole department of Quiche!

So we're putting Isaac to bed now and preparing for a long night... ;)

Now some pics.
