Check this out . . .

Well this falls under the "never coulda convinced me five years ago that I'd be doing this" category. I'm posting the first entry for a blog where Christopher and I can recount the biggest adventure we've ever embarked upon -- adopting a child from Guatemala. (Woo, shivers writing that).

Many of you guys have shared earlier adventures with us -- to Greece, to Italy, and of course, to Costa Rica and back. But those were based in geography. They were soulful to be sure, yet they revolved around us exploring some 'place' new. This time, we're bringing you along on our wildest journey yet -- through the uncharted territory (for us anyway) of becoming adoptive parents.

We are going to try to be diligent to capture everything here, no matter how mundane. So please join us for as much or as little as you like. It feels good knowing you're all in this with us.

Big hugs,
Lia & Christopher
