...we will post more pics hopefully by tomorrow night. For those of you who still come to check out our site...thanks. Again, the Armstrong's keep up on theirs regularly and Lee Anne and Erick are experiencing the exact same story. Thanks Emily for letting us point our friends and family to your blog!
By the way, this is Pat writing. I have been in Antigua for 7 days now and needless to say, I am having a blast. Erick and I bond more and more each time I come down here. Yesterday was a GREAT day with Erick. We sent Lee Anne to a bed/breakfast for the night so she could sleep in and have a massage for her birthday. This will be boring to most but it was one of the best days of my life -- a few highlights/firsts:
1) Lee Anne, Erick, and I all brushed our teeth together at the same time.
2) Erick and I played catch with a ball..he's right-handed and does a pretty decent job of throwing for a 18 month old.
3) We played soccor...he's very good at kicking..Lee Anne must be kicking the ball around with him, I'll have to ask her.
4) We played on a neighbor's trampoline together and did front somersaults and wrestled while laughing our heads off. We gave a high five as we walked away from the trampoline recognizing we had a great time.
5) Milo's walker broke and Erick and I each grabbed a screwdriver and fixed it together. We gave a high five after a job well done.
6) We took our first bath/shower together...let's just say it brought back memories of the guy's locker room at Blue Springs High School..lots of laughing and pointing.
7) After our bath I set him on the bed to dry him off and he pee'd a puddle on the bed.
A great day to say the least.
Also, yesterday was Samuel's 1st birthday. We had a great time with a "family" birthday party for those in the house and today we're having a fiesta for him with all of his other friends in Antigua. Happy Birthday Samuel!
Gotta run now...more pics tomorrow(hopefully).

Fantastic stuff, loved the comment about the high school shower memories. Glad to hear you are bonding well, though I still don't understand why he looks so much like you...:) Keep up the good work and learn how to post pics big guy.

Did you ever think 5 years ago you would be celebrating your birthday with your amazing little son smack dab in Guatemala??? Doesn't God send us on crazy awesome totally unexpected journey's sometimes. Hope you had a great relaxing time and a fabulous massage. Mostly I hope that your heart longed to get right back to Pat and your sweet little Erick, because no matter how terrific breaks are the reunions are the best!
