Sorry we did not post yesterday. It has been a little crazy around the hotel the last two days. Unfortunately, one of the little boys here, had to go to the hospital last night. He is four-years-old and he was adopted from Colombia several years ago. His parent's are here adopting a baby brother for him. But the older boy had been having some stomach virus symptoms and was in a lot of pain last night, so his parents decided to take him to the ER. (His Mom is an ER nurse and she felt is was better to be safe than sorry.) So, this all happened last night, and I volunteered to watch their new baby for them here at the hotel, while they went to the hospital. Since Nana is here, I knew that she could take care of Isabella. And really, how can a grandmother pass up an opportunity to spoil and love on her grandchild? I also watched the little boy all day today, since his older brother was admitted to the hospital overnight. So, I spent time with Jonathan, and Nana spent time with Isabella. Except for the few times that the two were awake at the same time. And that's usually when Jonathan was making "flirty eyes" at Isabella. (Gary, don't read this. I know you said Isabella couldn't date until she was 35.) haha Thankfully, Jonathan's older brother came home early this evening and his is doing much better. All tests, X-rays, and labs came back fine. So, he is just on a limited diet until his stomach calms down.
However, prior to our eventful night last night, we had a nice day yesterday. We actually went out to breakfast with Jonathan's mom, and did some walking around the local area. We had a nice breakfast at a french type bakery, and enjoyed eating something other than our hotel food for breakfast. The restaraunt was nice, and had some cute window displays, which you can see in the photos.
Beyond that, it has been pretty quiet over here. Today is rained a lot, so it was perfect weather for just staying indoors and babysitting. Tomorrow we have plans with a couple friends to go to a local burger place for lunch. We have heard they have great burgers and beer!
Other than that, things are going well. We are still waiting to hear some news on our adoption process. We don't know anything yet, but we know that the courts are moving. Several of our friends are getting their "sentencia" (which for those of you that don't remember, that is technically our adoption decree). That starts the ball rolling for us to come home. So, hearing about the other sentencias is giving us hope that we will get ours soon.
In the meantime, we are enjoying Isabella. She is doing great, and it is so much fun watching her personality develop. In fact, she even posed for all of you in some of the pics. She had on a new outfit from Nana, that had ruffles on her butt. It was so cute....that she had to show it off.
Well, it's been a long day. I better get some sleep. We hope all of you are doing well. We miss everyone, and hope to be able to come home soon.
Buenas Noches from Colombia.
