Surprise Visitor and Nana's Last Day


We were on our way to brunch this morning when we got a surprise phone call. Dennis Deters, a friend from Effingham, called and said he was in Antigua and if we had time, he'd love to stop by. Dennis and his son were here on a medical mission for the last week. They were staying in Panajachel, but actually working in Solala, where they performed cataract surgeries for about 12 hours a day. Anyway, he stopped in to say hello and met Gabriella. He is a father of five and was missing his daughter (the baby) and was glad to get some snuggle time with Gabi. Gabi thought he was pretty cool and loved meeting him!
Today is Nana's last full day in Antigua. She leaves for home tomorrow morning. Gabi has LOVED spending this time with her Nana. She thinks she's funny and looks for her every morning when she wakes up. It's adorable. I think Nana thinks she's ok too.

How neat.
I'm sure Nana thinks Gabi is "ok". It will be hard for her to leave, but it's not long til your all home. We can't wait.
Love you too much,
Mom

We are so excited that Gabi will be home in juat a very short while. It is great to see that your obstacles are now all gone. We are unfortunately still waiting to get back into PGN due to birth certificate issues with Madison's original birth certificate and City Hall not wanting to release it.
Good luck on your trip home. We can't wait to see how Gabi likes her home.
