Whew!
Kurt, Lucy and I have been on the road a lot. I think we've been gone more than we've been home lately.
We had an opportunity to visit with the family that we met while we were in Colombia in 07. You may remember Adriana, the university student we met on the plane on the way down and later she and her family took us to the countryside near Bogotá? Our favorite day in Colombia was having Lucy placed in our arms for the first time of course, meeting and hanging out with the "A" family was definitely our 2ND favorite day!
Anyway...The "A" family was here in the States visiting some of their relatives so it was the perfect time for us to fly down to VA to meet them. What an incredible experience! It was wonderful seeing them all again and meeting some of Godfrey's (Adriana's dad) sisters and brothers. They thought nothing of opening their home to us. Remember when we Americans were more like this? They have become like family to us. Even with a bit of a language barrier (we didn't speak much English for 4 days. Kurt's Spanish is definitely better than mine now. Go Kurt!), we have such a strong connection to them. Of course there was MUCH doting upon Lucy.
What an amazing family. They have such a special place in our hearts. And of course they are all an important part of Lucy's history. I pray that we can maintain this friendship through the years and I hope our friendship becomes stronger with each passing visit.
Enjoy the pics. They are mostly of our visit, downtown Richmond and a trip to Williamsburg.
Smooch

P.S. Adriana called me on Kurt's birthday to tell us of the rescue of 14 hostages held by FARC, a leftist terrorist group in Colombia, including 3 Americans that haven't been home in over 5 years! Hearing that news was a great birthday gift for Kurt!
