Special Times Together This Week

It is hard to believe that it has been one week today, since we met our kids!  We have had a busy first week filled with lots of activity.  The kids are doing great, and we are so excited to be here with them!

 There are two parks within walking distance of the hotel, so we try and go each morning after breakfast. This is Colombia's rainy season, so it usually rains here every afternoon.  The kids have a great time, and a lot of times we go with other kids from the hotel.

We enjoy lots of time in our room coloring, painting, and putting together puzzles.  One of the biggest hits around the hotel are balloons.  They provides hours of fun!



Our first big outing this week was to buy dress shoes for our big meeting next Wednesday with the Defender of Minors.  The kids are excited to dress up and wear their new shoes!


Yesterday, we had a great time going to a mall.  We played in an area decorated for Easter and had some great ice cream. It was good to get out and get some exercise. 


We will look forward to many more outings and spending time together throughout this week.  We are very excited to be here!
