i of course want to say happy mothers day to my mom. who Esme is named after (her middle name). i have the best mom and am so lucky to have her support, especially through our adoption process. she knows first hand what thats like. she's also an awesome grandmother and we've been fortune enough to skype so she (& my dad) have been able to see and talk to Ezzy. i love you sooo much momma!
then, esme wants to say a special happy day to her grandmothers....
she has 3 awesome grandmas who are anxiously waiting to get their hands on her! grandma dee, grandma judy & grandma savanna - have a great day, we'll be home soon.
we had a nice mom's day here. i obviously wish i were with both my kids today and can't wait to see my max!!!.
i spent the day with the other family currently here adopting their son, Sam. they are really sweet and we have a ton of laughs together. i think at this point of being on the island we just entertain ourselves and each other with things that probably in real life wouldn't be as funny. or, maybe they would be. michelle is one funny chick. i'm so happy to have them here with me.
last night i spent time with a really large group of extended family of Esme's. they are all really great people and are so happy to have us adopting Ezzy. i love the relationship we've been able to create with her birth family. i know from my own experience how cool it is and special.
we are in the home stretch of our time here. i'm waiting to hear on Esme's papers and if they've left Manila yet. if they have i may be even able to catch the friday flight from here (totally unrealistic, wishful thinking but could be possible). more likely i'll be on the monday flight which puts me home next tuesday! worst case scenario i'd be on the wednesday flight.
i'll do a separate post with an update once i know where in the pacific our papers are!
again, i hope everyone had a special moms day.

Thanks for the updated photos and travel update... we're so excited for you girls to come home! Esme is growing and just keeps getting cuter every day. I love you both so much!
We took some good video last night at my b day dinner... I got to wear a crown with a big 40 on it... good stuff...lots of laughs. We made a toast to you and Esme! I can't wait to celebrate when you get back!
Lots of love- Beth
Kate, do you have your bags packed?? What a bittersweet moment....leaving the beauty of the island but getting home to your boys and everyone dying to see you two! Let us know your plan and travel safe.
oops......that was me, debbie, in the last post! I forgot I was on the blog and not emailing. Also, save the date...August 1st for the reunion. If nothing else, you will guys will have to bring esme for a few hours during the afternoon. :) Take care!!
Hi Kate!
I have so loved following your blog! Your little Esme is such a little dolly! I hope things have been going well with everything. Remember if you need to call my sister-n-law for anything, you have her number (the last email I sent you has it). Gordon knows her too (Amy Sasser).
Hugs and blessings!
