We had our meeting with the Defender of Minors yesterday. They were very busy, we were in and out of there so fast I forgot to take a picture with our Defender. I don't think it had anything to do with the fact that it was a 3pm appt and Lucy was coming unglued. She would barely allow Kurt to put her down long enough to sign the document. Cecelia was kind enough to take a picture of the four of us outside the office in the rain no less.
No sooner did we get home from our appt when Kurt started to get sick. We think he got what Mateo had. So Team Kern is still down a player. Mateo looks awesome, if we could just get rid of his diareha we'd be doing great. I wish I would of brought down more onesies and some rubber pants! Thank God the staff here do the laundry for us. I did start him on banannas and rice cereal. If I thought cork would do any good, I would add it to his cereal. He seems to like it but can't really figure out how to eat it yet. But Mateo is doing much better. He is eating and sleeping. We're even starting to get our routine established
Hotel Paris is packed tonight! We have 4 families from MN, 3 from MI, 1 from Spain and a couple from Rome with EIGHTEEN kids here ranging from 6 mos to 13. There is a pack of 3 yr olds that have been thick as thieves. It's been like herding cats:) Lucy especially loves Josiah, who is from MI. I think we may have to schedule a playdate in WI somewhere.
Lucy and I walked down to Uni Centro, the mall nearby, and loaded up on supplies. It was a beautiful walk outside. I think Lucy enjoyed getting out of the hotel and some Mommy/daughter time. I've been so focused on Mateo it was really nice to spend some uninterupted time together.
Juanita the cook here is FANTASTIC. Everything is made fresh in the kitchen. All the staff here are amazing so nice. We had sopa de ajiaco tonight with rice, avacado, cream and capers. It is a beautiful soup filled with at least 3 kinds of potatos, corn on the cob, chicken and guascas (Colombian herb). The cream and the capers go on top of the soup. Then you take a small spoonful of rice and avocado and dip your spoon into the soup. Que rico!
It's not letting me post any pics. Sorry! tommorrow:(

I'm crying just thinking of Juanita's cooking!! And the soup!! Waaaaaa!!! Look forward to her guac and ... if you really want them to think you're loco, ask for cinnamon and sugar to put on the leftover rice. They thought that was CWAZY! So glad to hear Mateo is feeling better. Sorry to hear about Kurt. Sickies be gone! Uni Centro ... ohhh ... homesick!! Love the updates! Keep 'em coming!
Ajiaco???? JEALOUS!!! I do have a seasoning packet here so might need to put that on the menu tonight since my mouth is watering!!!
Sorry to hear that Kurt is now down for the count!!! Hopefully that will be the end of it and you and Lucy will stay well!!
