Buenos noches,
Happy Sunday everyone! Let's see...everyone got dressed today and we went to the grocery store. Pretty exciting day:) The markets are in full swing today, tempted though I was, I stayed home.
Mateo is feeling better. He only threw up once today and 2 up the back down the leg blow outs today. Only he needed the wardrobe change, not us so it was a good day! We started him on some rice cereal today for lunch and dinner. He's not crazy about it but he ate it. I hoped it would stop him up a bit and it seems to have done the trick. His appetite seems to be picking up as well.
Lucy now has 2 buddies: Josiah 3 Michigan and Garret 3 St Paul. Mariana and her family are coming in from MN tonight. Mariana is about a month older than Lucy. We met them here for our first adoptions and now we're both back for our boys. Funny how life works sometimes huh?
Lucy has officially been dethroned from princess status. Thank goodness she has some kids here to play with. Kurt has taken over most of her care so I'm sure she feels slighted a bit. Once Mateo has more of a schedule, Kurt and I can take turns spending some one on one time with her. I think we will need some pampering at Norbert's soon.
For those of you that are unfamiliar, Norberto's is a full service salon for both children and adults. The kids sit in race cars watching movies or playing videos while getting their haircut complete with glitter colored spray or ribbons galore which ever you prefer. Lots of pampering for the adults as well.
We did see our friends Godfrey, Inez and Adriana yesterday. They came to pick us up in the afternoon and we went to their house for dinner. It was sooo good to see them. They feel like family to us. Mateo promptly threw up his dinner all over their nice couch so we went home after that.
Our meeting with the Defender of Minors is tomorrow afternoon. Then our court process officially starts. We will be free to leave Bogota (not the country) with Mateo. Here's hoping he feels better soon. I'd like to get him down to sea level and some humidity to get some more weight on him. We're shooting for Cartegena for a week.
We also have some other MN friends coming down soon for a vacation with their son Max. They've invited us to join them in Giradot where they've rented a house for a few days.
That's all for now
Smooch

YAH! So excited for you all! He is so adorable-even when he is sick! We can hardly wait to meet him! We need another little one in the nursery :-)Prayers for health and safe travels! Hugs from Your friends at HOP-The Brookins Family
Jealous of the $6 manicures and pedicures!! :) So glad to hear little boy is turning a corner. And I can imagine the fun Lucy is having with all of her new friends. Soooo reminds me of Nils and all the friends he met (none of whom spoke the same language!). Sounds like ol' home time with all the friends. Hope for more good news about Little M!!
Good to hear Mateo is feeling a little better!!! Hope that continues! It will be nice to get your papers in the courts and know that that process has started!
Good to hear Lucy has some playmates! :0)
Have a great Monday!

Happy to hear Mateo is feeling better. I had quite the experience at Norberto's. I had three men fussing all around me and somehow I kept ending up with more and more things all the time since I didn't speak Spanish and they didn't speak English. Oh well, it was relaxing!
Im so Happy for you guys, great news, Lucy look so cute next to her brother, Its nice to hear that Mateo is feeling better. Remember God is next to you all the time. He loves you so much.
Love,
Lina
That is one cute little boy. Ezra and I cannot wait to meet him. I'm sorry he's been so sick. Poor little thing. Come home soon!
XOXO,
Julie & Ezra
