Well, things have changed a little. As of last nights post, I told you that we were in the last 10 days of the adoption process. Well, this afternoon we found out there was a mistake and/or some miscommunication somewhere, and that is not the case. Unfortunately, we are not in the last 10 days of the process. We are still waiting for our adoption documents to be approved, before they can be placed in the court system. So, this is a little disappointing, since we are approaching the time that the courts close for the holidays. However, having said that, it still looks like we should be able to make it home for the holidays. Probably what will happen is that we will just get home closer to the holidays than we expected. Obviously, this is not what we were hoping for, but we are staying positive. We know that each of these steps just brings us closer to getting Isabella home with us. So, we will just take it day by day, and before we know it, we'll be home and Sean will be hugging all over his baby sister.Before we heard the latest news, we went out today to another part of town that had a lot of little shops that sold Christmas items. So, the pictures for today are from that area. It was very bright outside so the shots might be hard to see. But we had a good time. My main goal was to find some Christmas ornaments that were made in Colombia, and you wouldn't believe how hard that was! I stopped at many stores and every single one of them had plenty made in China, or imported from other places, but none that were made in Colombia. Can you believe that? But I finally found some cute ones that were hand-made by this store owner and his wife. I can't wait to bring them home to put on our tree. Granted, it might only be 2 days before Christmas when they get up there, but they will be up there! :)
Well, Nana and Isabella are already asleep. I better get to bed too. We have a fun day planned tomorrow to go to the burger and beer place again!
Lots of love to you all.
Buenas Noches from Colombia.

Hi Deborah! I'm sorry to hear about your "step back" but I know everything will work out and you will be home for Christmas. If you want more ornaments you may want to ask Katya (the owner of Hotel Paris) where to go get them, I know she gave us lots of good ideas when we needed to get things.
Thinking of you!

Hope all goes well, and QUICKLY, and you are all home soon.
Love, Aunt Ginner
