It's a Beautiful day

It's about 6:30 AM and the sun is shinning. It comes up very early here and shines in our room, even with the curtains closed. It looks like it will be a beautiful day.
The meeting of the kids was very exciting. When they arrived at the ICBF we were upstairs waiting on the children in the room we decorated earlier. When Juan Pablo entered downstairs he took off running. They called him and he said he is going to find his "Papi". They were about a half hour late. We were so anxious while waiting on the children. When they arrived they ran to us giving each other hugs and kisses. They were very comfortable with us as if we knew each other for a long time. I think callling them several times prior really helped. Luci had her camera and took pictures so we will try to post later. Everyone at the ICBF was very impressed.
We have a meeting this morning at 8:30 to discuss the legal process. So far so good. Our "bonding" meeting is scheduled for Friday. This typically takes 8-10 days. Hopefully we will stay ahead of schedule!
Maria is an absolute angel! We bonded instantly and have been side by side since. She like to tickle me just like Taylor. I have been teaching her english words. She picks up quickly. Juan was a little bit of a handful last night although we managed. Wendy spent a lot of time with him. When he finally got to go swimming he callmed down. He is so adorable. God truly blessed us with two amazing children.
Both children slept with us last night. Maria snuggled in my arms all night. She had both dalmation stuffed animals with her. I woke up this morning with one of them in my face giving me kisses. Juan slept net to Wendy. He is still sleeping and Maria is next to me watching Cat in the Hat on her DVD player. I will talkto all later.
