Embassy Day!!!

We were up bright and early this morning for our embassy appointment. We arrived around 6:30am and waited in a long line to enter the US Embassy. After we entered we sat and waited for our name to be called for the 1st interview. Here they went over some paperwork, then we waited again for the final call. You can imagine a small room full of crying babies, Guatemalans trying to get visas to come to the states. Chase was very restless and kept Erich very busy roaming around. Finally around noon Reis was called to window 8. We had to swear that all the documents were truthful and a few other questions were asked. Then the lady said congratulations he is your son. What a moment - Erich and I high fived and it was done. Wednesday we go at 3:30pm and pick up his visa. Then Thursday bright and early we come home. We can not wait for all you guys to meet this little guy. He is the one in the group that everyone says whos kid is that. Yep thats the Reis´.... He is a wild man. See everyone soon and here are a few more pics of this healthy boy. You can tell from the first picture that the embassy wore him out.

Hanging at the pool

Jumping on the bed

Walking around in the Lobby

Someone is getting very sleepy

Clap Clap Clap Clap your hands

Okay thats it from Guatemala.... We will see everyone in St.Louis tomorrow... Stay tuned for video footage when we get home. Pictures dont do him justice.
Love all!!!!!

Daddy looks like your straining to hold him up. *chuckle* When are you going to start him training for a ultra marathon?

That is awesome you guys are finally bringing him home.
