Hodson's Visit Kentucky

Monica, Gabriela, & I decided to drive from Virginia to Kentucky to visit our good friends Amie, Justin & their son Spencer who live halfway between Lexington, KY & Cincinnati, OH for New Year's weekend. When we decided to visit Kentucky we also contacted one of the families in our Colombian adoption Yahoo Group who live in Lexington and have just last week received the referral for a beautiful baby girl in Medellin, Colombia. Monica and I tried to help them narrow down the long list of questions that they have now that they are planning their trip to Medellin to adopt their beautiful Sofia.

Get Up, Stand Up!

Gabriela just stood up for the first time on her own. She is also transitioning from her "army crawl" that she has been doing to a full crawl on her knees; but she just doesn't have it down fully yet.

Can Gabriela be President one day?

I acutally don't know that the Constitution deals with international adoption, but I do know that Gabriela Sophia is now a United States Citizen! Having been home for just under 5 weeks, we received Gabriela's citizenship package on Monday. She will always be a Colombian citizen as well so she has the best of both worlds.

It's cold here in Virginia!!!!!
