~Adoption UPDATE~

4 comments Posted by Jay and Jamie Dalton at 1:31 AM

We have had a change in plans concerning our Guatemalan adoption. We have decided to not adopt from Guatemala due to some warnings from our US Department of State; I have posted the links below to the warnings and recommendations . We have put a lot of time and effort into completing all of our paperwork along with paying our adoption agency a deposit of $1,000. BUT, everything happens for a reason. We are staying positive and ask for your prayers. I go back to the doctor in August, and I intend to discuss with Dr. Richmond the possibility of Jay and I trying to conceive a child of our own.

Some of you may be asking why we were only interested in a Guatemalan adoption. I don't travel very well as far as flying in a plane. Therefore, we were looking to adopt from a country that I could make the flight to in order to visit and pick up the child.

We truly appreciate all of your love and support. Please take the time to read about the Hague Convention and warnings/recommendations below.

Babysitting Baby John

1 comments Posted by Jay and Jamie Dalton at 3:35 AM

We had such a great time baby-sitting little John. He's such a content and happy child. We went to Old Navy and Tommy Hilfiger Kids and bought him some cute, new outfits. He absolutely loved getting a bath, and his favorite thing of all were our two dogs, Noah and Jonah. Jonah was so protective ... he acted like John was his baby and his baby only. It was soooo cute!

As always, we had a wonderful vacation in Mexico. The people are so sweet and so accommodating. They are always smiling, never get upset, and so laid back. The whole atmosphere in Mexico is completely different than the hustle and bustle of the United States. I'm always ready to come back to my routine, but it is a nice break from reality to spend a week or two down there. The Royal Resort is phenomenal; it is unlike anything you've ever seen. It is complete luxury with every amenity possible. Jay and I enjoyed hanging out with my mom, my brother, Mike, and Tabitha. We went swimming, fell asleep on the oceanfront, canopied shade beds, ate at fine restaurants, shopped on Fifth Avenue, toured Conzumel, endured a horrendous ferryboat ride, and much, much more. The above picture is our resort, and the below picture was taken from our balcony of the ocean.

Kindergarten

0 comments Posted by Jay and Jamie Dalton at 9:42 PM

Well, time has flown by this year, and Talon has almost completed his first year of school. I've included his class picture above and hope you enjoy it. There have been a few bumps along the way, but he has always continued to make the ES honor roll. Kindergarten is an exciting year that leads to many more years of school. Coming up next week, Talon has a leading role of John Smith in his class play. Jay and I will be in Mexico on vacation, but we'll be cheering him on from across the border.
