We arrived in Guatemala City today around 1 pm. At 3 pm we received Iszabella, for those of you who were betting Dad cried like a baby. For the record, she had me first -I had ran down to the lobby to get a key reprogrammed and guess who walked in, you guessed it Iszabella. From that moment, she had me. We have had her for about 2 hours and she has yet to cry. We were very lucky to get to spend time with the foster mom, two of her children, and her neighbor. Please pray for her and her family, they cried for our daughter and have been very kind to us and to her. They presented us with gifts and more importantly a photo album of several pictures.
I have added a couple of the close to 100 pictures we have taken in the last two hours. We will keep you updated as the day and week progresses. Our embassy appointment is tomorrow at 7:15 am. Thank you for everything and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

WOW~~~~PRAISE GOD! I thought I was checking the blog a little early and didn't think you would have pictures up yet, wasn't sure how soon you were going to get to see Iszabella. What a thrill to see the pictures pop up!! Brent, I would say your red face gave you away on the crying thing! She is beautiful and I can see such joy in your faces getting to have her with you!
Love to all of you!

Congratulations! There's nothing like it, is there? Anna Mei's "Gotcha Day" is this coming Saturday, and we have been thinking back on our first encounter with her. I bet you haven't taken your eyes off Iszabella, have you? We're so glad your big day has finally arrived. We can't wait to meet her when we get back.
Praising God,
The Talleys
