His roots....

My Grandma Gesko (affectionately called Gummie by the great grand kids), says funny things. One of the things that we love that she says is that you are going to see "your people." Example, Jeff is going to see "his people" this weekend - meaning: Jeff is going to his hometown to see his mom and dad. Well, the map below show where Mario was born - where his people are from! lol! (see * marking El Quetzal, San Marcos, Guatemala)

Update: The passport was obtained, authorization from Guatemala for the 2nd DNA was given, 2nd DNA was paid for and should be DONE on Monday - hmmm... that is about it! Once it is done, it will need to be sent several places. We have an extra step in ours before we get our PINK appointment which is to have a cable sent for a special visa in order to have someone else bring Mo home. I will update you as it goes. I got some papers notarized by my friend - who makes house calls for me, so I have now named her my "beck and call-girl!" Thanks, Kimmie Bean!

Oh, and as I write, my awesome hubby is half asleep and taping the room getting it ready to paint! I love you, honey!

Hey, I was thinking last night. You can tell anyone that you want that I am a notary and "will travel"!! LOL I will only be your "beakin'-call girl" however. I am soooooooooooo glad to be of assistance to you and Jeff and Alli throughout this entire process. I can't wait to hold Little Mo.
