The First Days
The kids just went crazy in awe when we got them home. They loved their rooms. After breakfast we took a drive out to my sister's house as they were not able to meet us when we came home yesterday (Sunday night). It was too late for their kids. The kids swam at their house for a little while. Michelle (an "aunt") made finger foods for the kids for lunch. Then it was off to the beach. They were so funny....Maria ran down to the water and was not afraid of the waves. J.P. on the other hand didn't really want to and only got his feet wet. They both loved digging in the sand and loved how it felt between their toes. We met Aunt Trish and Uncle Joe and cousin Taylor for Pizza at Bizzarro's for pizza. The kids love pizza. After pizza we went over to Taylor's house and the kids went swimming. Maria wanted to stay and play for a little while and it was time for J.P.'s nap. We took J.P. home to take his nap. Later when he woke up we went to pick up Maria at Joe & Trish's. (Trish is bilingual and has been a big help translating and teaching good manners & how toos.) When we got to Joe and Trish's however, Maria wanted to ride in the car with Taylor to go get ice cream. After icecream it was home for bed. We'll write more later.

I am so happy you are still keeping this up! It is such a great way to stay informed! Even on a weekly basis if you have the time...we are so excited to read your news each time you post! So glad the kids are adjusting so well...there will certainly be trying moments...but with all of your family's love and support, they should do fine! The kids will pick up the English in no time...we get kids "right off the boat" from P.R. at school all the time, and in a few months, they speak well enough to understand and have a conversation with. Its great that Trish can help also...hopefully they won't lose their Spanish either! Keep us posted on all of your escapades...we love hearing about them!
Welcome Home! I am sorry that we couldn't post our congratulatory wishes and keep up with the posts. We went away for a mini vacation and then our computer was broke! Now that it's up and running, we checked your site right away! We're glad everyone is settling in and look forward to reading more about your family adventures!
Love, Dave, Diane Sarah
I liked very much meet you. When you want, are you going to comeback to Valledupar Colombia!
