It's just the girls






Well, this is the first post from just the girls. Today, Gary and Sean left Colombia. We were very sad to see them leave, and we will miss them a lot. But we know that they will be fine at home, and will get some extra TLC from Grandmommy. Isabella and I will be fine here, as well, and hopefully we will get to come home soon too.
After Gary and Sean left, it was a little quiet around here, and definitely lonely. But everyone here is so nice, and some of the other mothers (and a Grandma) invited Isabella and I to go to the mall with them this afternoon. It was great timing because we left a couple hours after Gary and Sean left the hotel. So, it didn't give us much time to sit around and notice that Sean's loud noises weren't in our room anymore. haha
We had a nice time shopping, and getting out of the hotel for a little while. Then after the shopping trip, two of the fathers were going to get Pizza Hut for their families. So, they were extremely nice and offered to bring me some pizza to. So, they brought back a personal pan pizza for us to have for dinner tonight in our room. So, as you can see from one of the pics in this post, Izzie was shocked that we were giving away the secrets of what girls do when they get to hang out together without the guys. That's right, hang out in comfy clothing, lay on the bed, and eat pizza! Oh, and don't forget the Dunkin' Donut that we bought at the mall. I mean after all, girls gotta have their sweets too!
Some of the other pics you see are from our trip to the park yesterday. We had a great time, and it was really nice getting to spend some time with the other families. Sean had a great time running around the park, and so did some of the other older kids. In addition to that, there was a school there with a lot of children between the ages of 8-11 years old. They were so cute, and kept coming up to all of us and staring at us. Sometimes, they would play some games and we think "show off" to us. It was interesting for them because they had never seen Americans before. It was really neat interacting with them, and I did my best speaking some Spanish to them. They really enjoyed that, in between them trying to say a few words in English to us. We all loved it, and it really made our trip to the park a great time.
Well, I think that's it for now. The littlest Lee girl is already asleep for the night. It must have been all of that pizza. :) Hope you all enjoy the pics, and we'll do our best to continue to take more even though the boys are gone.
Love to you all. And special hugs and kisses to Daddy and Sean. (Hopefully they will see this post tonight or tomorrow)
Buenas noches from Colombia.

I am so happy to watch your new addition join your family. She is beautiful. I know it is hard to see Gary and Sean go but you can take this time to truly bond and enjoy time with Isabella. Most second children don't get to spend any time alone with their mommies!

Your husband and son made it home safely. Sean looks as if he grew a few inches. Glad you have some time to bond with Isabella and catch up on some sleep.
Looking forward to being with you next week.Take care of yourself and my newest granddaughter.
