Favorite Foto Friday #56 - WELCOME HOME!!

Since the theme this week is for YOU to create the theme, I am going to deviate from the FFF this week to welcome home a beautiful little angel named Eliana!! My friends, Mary Beth, Rob and big brother, Roberto traveled to Guatemala three weeks ago to bring home their gorgeous little daughter/sister, Eliana! We met up with them this past weekend at the zoo and I was able to take a few pictures of brother and sister together forever!! These are my two favorite...





And touching down at HOME at her homecoming celebration at the airport... is she not a vision of beauty??


And finally, a picture of the S family... together forever!!! I love you guys!! (Roberto is still adjusting to sharing the limelight with his little sister - ha ha)


Eliana is a lucky little girl! She has the most amazing family who will love her more than any little girl can imagine!! I am honored to call them my friends and by way of the heart... my FAMILY as well! And... if the stars line up... they may be in laws someday too - ha ha!! (remember Sophie's first car date with Berto?)

Here is how FFF works... it is very easy. Every Friday, post your Favorite Foto of the week... it can be of the "theme" that is given out each preceding Friday or simply your favorite of the week. Label your post FFF and if you want, leave a link back to this blog to have your friends find other FFF posts. If you would like to link your blog, please follow the Mr. Linky instructions and you are there!! I always check each link to make sure that it is a legitimate FFF post but rarely delete any links unless the links don't work.

You never have to follow the FFF theme... if you would like to be included in FFF, just post your link into Mr. Linky below... it is fun to follow our FFF friends each week!

Now... for the MR LINKY FFF LINKING DIRECTIONS!! Go to your blog and click on the title of your FFF post - your post URL will appear in the address bar in your browser and it will contain the exact link to your post! Simply highlight the address, right click, choose copy and then paste it in the "URL" spot in the Mister Linky - just under where you put your name (you can put your name and the name of your child/ren in the picture). Don't forget to click the "Enter" button and voila... you are linked!

It is important that you are linking just your post and not just your blog web address so everybody can link directly to your FFF post!!



Next week's FFF Theme will be announced later today after seeing your spin on things!! I will be using ALOT of your themes for the future, so stay tuned!!

I loved the car date post! So glad Roberto has his beautiful daughter home now! He is such a handsome fellow and she is so beautiful. She'll make a lovely sister in law for Bug!

Jamie said...

She IS beautiful.
Do you pronouce her name Elly-ana? My brother's wife is pregnant with a girl, and they like the name Elly-ana, but they would spell it Eliana. I was just curious if it was the same name.

Mama Bear said...

Congrats to your friends, what an awesome time. Beautiful family!

Robin said...

Hey Sarah! Unfortunately we are not able to make it to Guatoberfest. Since we brought Ella home this year we have used all of our vacation time. Myrtle Beach is so close and I really wish we could have made it work. Maybe next year will work out better.

Sophie is a beautiful little girl

Robin

Robin said...

Oh. Ella's birthmother's first name was Margartita. As far as I know she didn't have any siblings but it would be a wonderful surprise to find some.

Melissa said...

holy dang, she is just too cute!!!

Ellen said...

What a gorgeous girl. I love how proud big brother looks. They are going to have so much fun together.

Pineapple Princess said...

Did you post the theme for Friday and I missed it? I've been known to be blind as a bat at times.

Thanks,
Stacy
