Sad day today, Daddy left for home at 6:00 this morning....he had to go home and take care of our Dukers and bring home the bacon. ;) The girls are officially on their own, that is until Grandma and Auntie Becky, and maybe Grandma Fellerman too, arrive! All in all, we still had a great day! Did our usual big walk, Mommy grabbed a Latte & the girls got a cup of fruit at Juan Valdez, shopped for groceries on our own at Exito, went to our hidden park, ate our Yogurt suckers, had lunch at El Refugio, hung out at the house while our new friends arrived..... So, here starts our small world, totally God story. Ended the night with some good Face Time with Daddy, thanks Apple! It was great to see him, all snug as a bug in a rug in his pillow top bed, with a hot shower and a cold beer in a hotel in Atlanta. :) Amazing how time away in another country makes you so appreciated of the comforts we have grown so accustomed to having back home. Julieth 5432the phone about 20 times, such wonderful growth, and Z had so much to tell her Daddy. Zahria is now taking over Daddy's job of giving the 5/4/3/2/1s at night. This is something Daddy is so good at, and that Zahria loves! Daddy, Z and Julieth all love soft touch, Mommy..........not so much, so tickling arms is soothing to them, thus the 5/4/3/2/1 game.
On with our 'Small World God Story:'
Yesterday, while Daddy was here, we went to one of our favorite city parks, it is a huge green space that used to be a Polo Grounds. There is a small park there that we like, but what we like most is the green space within in the city with wonderful views of the mountains. Anyhow, it was quiet as it was a weekday during work hours. Two other families were there, one being a white couple. Odd to see here. We immediately noticed that he was wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt. Extra odd as the locals here are all bundled up in long pants, sweaters and coats.....while we sweat mind you. The heat here is so different from back home. Here it is 65 and we get burned. Weird. Anyhow, we spied them from a mile away and I guess they did too. Immediately the wife, Kree, said, 'Are you Americans?' Okay, we stand out like a sore thumb. We laughed and said yep. Come to find out they are from Bismarck, ND.... this is where my brother lives. Crazy small world! After much chatting we found out that they were in their 3rd week of their adoption journey for their 2 year old son Salvador and Troy, the husband, was leaving for ND that night. They were staying in an apartment in a pretty residential area, so they hadn't gotten out much or been able to really meet anyone in Bogota. Needless to say, they both felt pretty isolated. After awhile of talking we told them about our Hotel and they were excited to hear that maybe, just maybe, Kree and Salvodor could switch where they were living and come to our Hotel. We walked them back to our hotel, showed them around and that night they text us that they were moving Kree & Salvador to our hotel on Thursday, which is today. :) So glad they are here. Having 3 American families here is going to be a lot of fun!
