Our Christmas Boy

Here is our Christmas picture of Mateo! His foster mom sent us some great pic's of Te by the tree. What a treat to be able to have communication with her and to see from her perspective and pictures how he is doing. This weeks adoption news is that we got Mateo's DNA test back and it was %99.888 so it is a match! Yeah! Now we are waiting to exit Family Court and get Pre-approval to go into the last court, PGN. On the Christmas front Scott and I are heading up north next week and for Christmas break. Scott got us two nights at a Bed and Breakfast! What a great present, when you live with over 200 college students the best present I could ask for is some quite one-on-one time with my amazing husband. We then will spend time with friends and family until the 1st of the year! Though we are sad that we don't have the kids home for this Christmas season we are thankful that this will be the last year without them and that we are so blessed by the supportive and amazing family we do have. It also helps knowing that we get to go to Guatemala on January 18. We are wishing you all a blessed Chrismas season and that we all reflect on blessing the name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas!
Scott, Laura, Mateo, and Elizabeth Powell
