Today was a busy day, and Isabella was a busy girl! :) All for good things, though. Our day started with Isabella getting a bath, as you can see in the first photo. She doesn't care for the baths too much, but loves to play in the towel afterwards. Once that was done, we headed out with our driver to get Isabella's passport photo taken. She had to wear something dark to contrast the light background, so we chose a beautiful dress that Grandaddy (Gary's Dad) picked out for her. Great job Grandaddy! She looked absolutely adorable in it. And just for you I took a few pictures of her in it. She was having fun in her dress and was kicking her legs up playing too. So, once she had the right outfit (because you know girls are all about their outfits), she was ready for her picture. Okay, so it took a few tries, but they finally got a good shot that they could use for the passport. I took a picture of her passport photo for you to see. Isn't she just the cutest thing?!After the passport photos and then getting her passport, we came back to the hotel for lunch and a litltle rest. Then later in the afternoon we went to see the U.S. Embassy doctor for her check-up clearance. Everything went well, and the doctor even said my face seemed familiar. I told him we had adopted Sean two years ago, and he was happy to see we were back. He asked how Sean was doing, and was joking with us on how his world is going to completely change once he has a sibling at home. haha But the doctor was very nice and it was a good visit with him. He said Isabella was great and to take her home! Yeah!!! And for those of you that are curious, she now weighs 13.2 pounds. She's a growing girl! :)
Once our busy day was over, Isabella was pooped and ready for bed. So, one of the last pictures is of her in one of her PJs that Nana bought for her. It looked so comfy and warm, and she was having fun playing in it. So, I had to take a picture.
And last but not least, I couldn't end this post without reiterating the title of this post.... our plane tickets are booked!! Gary helped us and he called the airlines and we are officially booked on a flight for Wednesday morning (12/19), and we arrive in Miami at 12 noon!!! Woohoo!!!
Well, I better get to bed. Tomorrow we are going to do some laundry and do last minute errands, and then maybe go out to dinner to celebrate.
Lots of love to all of you.
Buenas Noches from Colombia.
