Mike and I went to Chicago to get our Visas on Wednesday and came home to an email saying that we can book our flights!!! The Embassy in Colombia finally got our paperwork!
SOOO...we are flying out of Chicago on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the gov't reps aren't available on the weekend for us to meet Diego and Yerly...so we are waiting to travel so we can arrive during the week. We arrive in Medellin on Tuesday and presentation day will be on Wednesday, October 28th...another special day for us...the anniversary of mike and my first date 22 years ago. All of the kids will fly down with us for the week. We will stay together as a family for the entire first week. What a blessing that will be. Our 4 children will fly home on Wed. November 4th. They will have a travel escort from Colombia to the states where my parents will meet them in Miami and fly with them to Chicago. Mike and I will stay with Diego and Yerly in Colombia for another 2+ weeks to finish court dates and finalize the adoption. It looks like we actually may be able to be home as a family for Thanksgiving. God is good!
We skyped our "amores" (loves) again yesterday.
They are so excited to come with us.
They are excited to ride on a plane and play.
Diego hugs and hugs us. He drew us several pictures while we talked. He sang us a sweet song. Yerly was very excited to talk and sing a song for her Papi...that he did not hear the other day. She had to go change clothes and came back a little miffed that she had to leave. She sat in the chair and didn't want to talk then...but when we asked her..Are you our princesa? Are you our daughter? Are you are beautiful daughter? She looked up and smiled and said SI.
I was talking to AlbaNano yesterday, she is in charge of our loves at Casa De Maria. She said..."Mami, you would not believe the hearts of your children. It beats very fast these days. Their demeanor have changed significantly. They walk with laughter in their step and without anxiety!!" What a blessing from God. We are so thankful that HE is there walking beside them when we cannot. HIS hand is powerful!
