Pictures of the Boys & Something's in the Water!

Guess what I've got??? New pics of Gerson & Elviz!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jane :) She is in Guatemala visiting 2 of her kiddos, and she was sweet enough to hand deliver a package to my boys and take some pictures for me!


Look who we have pictures of ;)
Handsome boys!!!!

I want my Diego toy back now!!!

We are so excited to have these pictures. While I love getting pictures from the agency (I have new "tan couch" pics to post later), it is nice to see the boys "in action"! I cannot wait to meet these 2 - they look like such characters :) Gerson looks like a sweetie pie, and Elviz looks like he is full of attitude! It's so funny, because that sounds just like I am describing Parker & Brayden ;)

In other news, we had an EXCITING day at the beach yesterday! First, we saw 4 helicopters circling around for a long time. . . we concluded that they were either investigating a shark sighting or looking for a missing person. Hmmmm - either way, that is no good. Well, about 15-20 minutes after the helicopters flew away, we were playing in the water, and I saw A FIN!!!! Mom saw it at the same time. It was about 50 yards out, and almost directly in front of where we were. YIKES!!! So, we watched (and got O-U-T of the water), and it came up again and again. Mom, Peanut, and I all got a good look at it's back - it's back was flat, it was dark, and it's dorsal fin was not like a dolphin - it was a shark!!!! We (and the other people on the beach) followed it down the shoreline. It went down, circled around, started back our way, turned back around, and then out to sea. Then we saw a bunch of dolphins jumping up and swimming out. People were saying that it may have been one of the dolphins, but it wasn't. It was a shark. . . . a shark that probably had a dolphin lunch! Needless to say, we'll be spending the remainder of the week at the pool :)

Oh my gosh!!!! I'm terrified of sharks and had a bass shark incident that scared me for life back in 2003. STAY IN THE POOL! We are heading to the beach in 3 weeks and believe me we will do the same. LOVE the pic's of the boy's.

We saw a shark while in FL as well. I though that it was pretty cool although it wasn't coming at me so that makes a difference. I am glad that you are enjoying yourselves. We are having a yardsale that same weekend as you all. Hopefully we will both have some good luck. Have a great rest of your week and we will talk to ya later.

OHHHH the boys are gorgeous. Nice to se them not "posed" for you.

I knew there was a reason I did not go to the beach- yeah I know I live in FL but that is beside the point!

LOVE the photos. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it is very special to see them in their element. They are so handsome.

I agree with you about staying in the pool. I can't believe you saw a shark that close, not in a tank. Stay safe and enjoy your vacation away from the sharks.
