Tomorrow

I'm just adding the last of the pics (to Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/johnnysnyder) that Anamaria took the first couple of days of our trip, before I go to bed. It's around 11:15 p.m. Thursday night and we're finishing up a day of the New Year's celebration. Ok, maybe you're tired of reading that in the blog, but let me tell you...the whole evening, this city has been having a barrage of fireworks going off. I'm saying, it sounds and feels like bombs and gunfire are going off all around us. We've been watching out our window the whole night and, EVERYWHERE, are fireworks going off. These are the ones we always go to see on the 4th of July that the city sponsors. We've had them exploding maybe 50 yards from our window. Andrew, Anamaria and I went up to the top of our hotel hoping to find a better lookout over the city and voila...on the 27th floor, the administration offices of the hotel, we found, if you can imagine a women's bathroom with a bay window view on 2 sides. This is not a bathroom you would need to take a magazine or newspaper to read with you. Usually it's a CEO that gets this kind of space with a view.

Anyway, I was going to mention. Tomorrow will be a special day since I am traveling outside the city about an hour and a half to visit the residence in which Emily was originally found. Should be interesting. I'll post the original notice text about her being found. Until then...goodnight.

Sounds like fun. Stop making us wish we were there. Just kidding, we're loving all the updates.
While your retiring after experiencing probably one of the most exciting fireworks spectacular of your life in an exotic land, we're beginning a gray day in Big Sandy, TX with an occasional backfire of the garbage truck coming down the street.
Good night.

What a amazing selfless things to give of the rest of your livest o Emily. I love seeing all the pictures and the blending of your family with her. Many blessings sent your way. May God give you wisdom as parents to be the ones she needs.
