Baby Goes To The USA


So the baby paperwork drama ended well.  We went to La Paz and Noah handled the altitude quite well despite all the "baby turning blue in La Paz" horror stories we heard beforehand.  Everything went smoothly turning in the paperwork at the US Consulate and Noah's US passport arived 6 days before our trip to the USA. 

The last two weeks of May we spent up in the US for my sister Julie's wedding, visiting Noah's grandparents and great-grandparents, and visiting two of our supporting churches.  When we landed in the US, we kissed Noah goodbye and said "see you in two weeks" and gave him up to be passed around like a hot-potato between friends and relatives.  Of course we kept the "Baby Crowbar" (patent pending) handy to pry Noah from his grandmothers' arms.  It was a great trip up north to see friends and family but it was also an exausting whirlwind of a journey and it is good to be back in Bolivia trying to settle into some sort of routine, if that is even possible.

Noah is doing great and I think he is glad to be back to some stability too.  It seems every day he grows and changes a little bit.  They were not kidding when they said babies grow quick!
