Amy has come to town!
Our good friend Amy arrived tonight in Bogota after a really long day in the Miami Aiport because of a flight delay that kept her from her scheduled connection to Bogota. But she is here and we are very happy to see her. Over the next few days we are going to be doing some of the sight seeing that we have not had time for or have been putting off until she got here. So we will be taking a ton of pictures to be sure, but for tonight we really don't ahve much to offer.
We also did receive great news that one of our Colombian Adoption group friends received their referral for little boy here in Bogota and they hope to be here in a couple of weeks to be with him. It sounds like we will probably be here as well at least when they first get here, so we look forwar to meeting them and celebrating our new additional with a little ice cream at everyone's favorite place in Bogota "Crepes & Waffles". I know it doesn't sound Colombian but it is very Bogota!
Everyone has been asking for updates on our process in the courts and we haven't posted any because there hasn't been any. Today, Monica did confirm that the court has accepted our case as is so we don't need any documents or updates right now. Since they just completed this stage and Monday the 16th is a holiday here in Colombia and the courts will be closed the earliest that she expects them to get moving on our case will be the week of the 23rd. All of this is speculation but speculation made by someone with more than 20 years of helping families adopt here in Colombia. Monica is going to go the the registration office tomorrow to check on the status of her Cedula as it should have been completed a couple days ago based on what she was told before. Hopefully we'll have good news there tomorrow to go along with great sight seeing photos. We are also going to be making some plans to go the beach for a few days soon possibly to celebrate Monica's 2nd 29th Birthday with our beautiful Gabriela and enjoy some of the warmer weather clothes that we brought for her.... cute for pictures!!!

Hopefully by the time you read this Monica will have already gotten some good news about her Cedula.
On another note... I'm totally disapointed there are no pictures! Don't you know - now that you are parents its all about the baby ; ) If I can't see my adorable little niece in person you are going to have to satisfy my need for a baby fix with pictures.
I hope all goes well so you can come home soon.
Love,
Tia Beth
