It was just another day around here. The normal stuff and an outing to the big Bosque Popular. Overall, Lanie is continuing to do much better. We are working hard to create fun moments together. She is slow to warm up to things. If you ask her to do something new, you are guaranteed to …
Hopefully we just spent our last Saturday in Manizales! The count down for home has finally begun! I thought about atarting to pack, but maybe that’s a bit lremature. We spent the afternoon with our hosts and the other adoption family Visiting a nearby town and coffee farm. It was very nice. Vilma and I …
I guess the judge found his pen because he has signed our papers!!! Not only that, but the Attorney General and the Family Defender have signed them as well. I suspect the judge signed them earlier this week and no one bothered to tell me that. :-(. Regardelss, we are very happy now! My agency …
I’ve been here 30 days now. The first 23 were anywhere from great to ok along with several being quite “challenging”. Now I’m just trying to finish out another day in hopes of the judge signing our papers. I can’t recall a time when I constantly wanted time to pass by as I tried to …
Well… here I am again. Still here. Still waiting. We are getting very close to having to fly Scott back at the end of this. He signed a paper saying I could take Lanie out of the country without him present June 13th and it is only good for 30 days. Our timeline is very tight …
I don’t seem to know the date or day of the week here, but I do know how many days I’ve been here! We went shopping with Vilma for a little bit this morning. She took me to a fabric store here. I was curious what their fabric stores were like. Of course when I …
Today was as close as I could get to pretending I was In Texas. Late mornjng we headed for the nice mall here, the Fondadoras. Inside you would think you were in the US. We shopped around a while and then ate at the Tex Mex place in the food court. I can’t really say …
Today my friend Stephanie’s translator took us to Chipree for the afternoon. Stephanie asked her to check on us since she and my family were leaving. Chipree is where you can look down into the valley and up to e mountains. It’s gorgeous. We were there last night to see the city lights at night …
Our morning was a bit “normal” if there is a normal here. We did moRe school and English learning games. Lanie overall is still full of smiles and affection, but she definitely tested the boundaries some today. Then we went walking to the HomeCenter. It’s like a Lowes, Ikea, bed, bath, and Beyond all together …
First off…here is my disclaimer for all posts. I do these on my iPad and it messes up my words and is extremely difficult to edit so I know all of the posts are a mess. Sorry… Now you know what it’s like to be a first grade teacher trying to read kid’s writing! Our …
