THE BIG DAY

We made it to Medellin last night after a full day of travel. Tristin's parents drove us to Chicago for our flight to Miami then transfer to Medellin. On the flight to Miami, we flew with friends from church Brian and Debbie Moyer, their daughter Larissa and grandson Dane...what a surprise!
We arrived in Medellin about 8:00. It had just drizzled a little. The air was cool tonight, but not cold. The smell of latin american cooking seeped through our van as we drove around the mountain to our hotel. The kids commented on the smell of the air too....different from Mexico, with its own unique scent. Our driver Jorge, told us all about Medellin on our drive to the hotel.

This morning the sun rose super early! There are people playing tennis in the courts below. We overlook a ginormous swimming pool. There are volleyball courts and a little playground we are all excited to bring Diego and Yerly to. We are up early getting ourselves ready....hanging the banner in the room and blowing up balloons!
We go to meetour little love bugs at 11 am!!! It doesn't seem real! The kids are midnight last night.

The sun just came over the mountain! We are ready to bring some babies home!!!
