Wendy-Yesterday was the children's last day in school. Steve and I took some time to catch up with some phone calls, emails and went down to the pool. The children came home around 12:30 today. Juan Pablo (J.P.) was funny, he did not want to leave the taxi. :) I think he had too much fun at school. After lunch we came up to the room. We want to start teaching them more English so we are trying very hard to speak more to them in just English. One thing we did is teach Maria the Hokey Pokey. I do not think she has ever laughed so much at her crazy parents (yes, Steve too!). I catch her "singing" it (the best she can) every so often. I also sat down with her and went through the alphabet both in printed and written, upper and lower case. I wrote everything down for her and she would redo a line under me. She is VERY eager to learn. She is VERY smart and is going to be a great student.
Steve-We went to a unique restaraunt called El Hueco last night for empanadas, arepas and some cheese things. It was all cooked in a large pot. The restaraunt was basically outside with a brick wall around it and a small roof above preperation area and a couple of tables. See pictures. After dinner we went to a park where the children played. They had great fun. We came back to the room where they had showers, played for a little while then went to bed. Wendy and I watched a movie on JP's portable DVD player althouth began falling asleep about 30 minutes into it. I guess we we worn out as well.
Today at 8:30 we are going to a picnic at school to celebrate thier month long break.
We have not heard from Dolly as of yet. The Italian couple is still here so she is busy working on thier case. The judge has not sighned thier Sentencia yet so they are unable to leave. Dolly is suppose to travel to Aguachica today for them so I assume it was sighned yesterday. She is suppose to be back and meet with us tonight at 5:00 pm. Hopefuly. It is a danagerous and long drive.
