TGIF doesn't really mean anything here in Bogota, since the days are all jumbled together. We had another day out and about today. We took quite a long walk to the uni-centro, which is a mall. We didn't realize how long it would take to get there, and I think we took a longer route than we needed to, but it was nice to see some new scenery. On the way back to the hotel, we took the shorter route, and saw more new scenery.
The way back was definitely a challenge with the stroller. There was a lot of sidewalk construction going on, so we had to lift and carry the stroller in many spots. It's kind of a toss up on whether or not to use the Baby Bjorn or a stroller. The Bjorn allows you more mobility, but the stroller is good for storing the diaper bag and any purchases you make on your outing. Manny loves to ride in either, so I guess it's up to us : )
Dr. Maria Clemencia made a house call today to give Manny a checkup. We asked her to look through all of the medical records that we received from Los Pisingos and everything looks good there. She said that he is a big strong boy. He's healthy and happy, and that's all we could ask for. We hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love,
Dulcie, Johnny and Manny
Hello!
ReplyDeleteJust home from our trip to Alaska today, and had to check in once again. You all look like you are adjusting well! Does it feel real yet? I think that those first couple days/weeks you just go on adrenaline!! Manny is cuter than cute (and actually reminds us A LOT of our 3 year old, Will--seriously, we will have to send you some pictures of him from when we were in Colombia, the hair and rolls of chub or something :-) ). Anyway, it is SO much fun seeing you out and about and enjoying the beautiful and city, and just being a family. Though we will miss you at the LSS picnic this weekend, we are so happy for the reason!!
Take care,
Patsy and boys
Happy Saturday! We are off to the Cities to spend the day and then the picnic tomorrow...we will miss you and I am sure your names will come up often in conversation!
ReplyDeleteBogota Beer Co is one of our favorites there...good American greasy food...burgers, fries, patty melts, etc. Beer is not bad either :0) They also sell logo hats, sweatshirts, etc so makes a fun souvenier!
Enjoy your weekend! Just think how you were running around like crazy people last weekend! Lots can change in a week!!! 0)

Congratulations Becker Family! I saw your blog from the Hayden's caringbridge site...I too, am an adoptive mom to 2 Los Pisingos children (just submitted our dossier to LP for our 3rd)!
