813Look at those eyes!!! Isn’t she gorgeous? Our second day together was spent looking at, signing papers for, and getting ready to move into an apartment. It was a very long day for all of, and the children kept begging to go back to la casa. They didn’t understand what was going on, and we… Continue reading day eight–desperately seeking family

day seven–part two
782794 SHOE SHOPPING!!! I am not sure if you are supposed to take children out on the first day, but we did! As we walked back to the hotel from getting some lunch, Daniela kept complaining about her feet hurting. I checked her shoes and they were way too small. Ezzy also had some foot… Continue reading day seven–part two
day seven–pure joy
Well, you have already seen the pics we have from picking the children up, but I wanted to sketch out the events of the day for their lifebooks. Dear Little Ones, When daddy and I woke up on the morning of 5 August 2008 we knew that our lives and yours would change forever, and we were… Continue reading day seven–pure joy
back online– yay!
810Check this picture out. Me, mom, and the four kids all in the back of one of the taxis. Awesome!!! I’m pretty sure we’ll have a few meltdowns over the booster seats awaiting them in the minivan. 🙂 We figure that while we’re here the kids are pretty safe because we are packed in so tight–no… Continue reading back online– yay!

Rach here! Okay, first of all, Adam forgot to remind everyone that the camera adds 20 pounds.

day six–pre-munchkin meeting w/ CRAN
We had our “meeting” this morning in the hotel lobby. CRAN’s director, Ximena, is a wonderful lady. We are so glad to finally have met her. She brought with her Maria Cristina, Wynette, and Jairo who are the children’s psychologists and social worker. Wow, I was so impressed with the details they were able to give… Continue reading day six–pre-munchkin meeting w/ CRAN
day five–church in colombia
684688 Sunday we spent at church. It was a pretty relaxed day. Oh, we did look at one other apartment too, but I think it is too small for the eight of us. Everyone at church was so very nice. Daniel Trujillo, our new friend and translator, came over to the hotel and rode in… Continue reading day five–church in colombia
friendly angels
652 What a treat! Jaime Lynne, Jena, and Val all came to help me pack, sort, and put away the children’s clothing before our trip. They also helped organize my craft/school room. My dear friends donated their time and talents to me and my children without me having to ask. I treasure my friendship with… Continue reading friendly angels
butterflies and mountains
Can anyone tell me why the San Jose airport has Free Wi-Fi, but LAX does not? Whatever the reason (and I have a few thoughts on the matter), I am grateful that Costa Rica offers the service. That means I can write this post en route to Bogota. I did have the usual pre-travel jitters,… Continue reading butterflies and mountains
