Hi everyone!

We have just had the best day of our lives!  I'm mostly going to post pictures and video, because I know that's what everyone wants to see!  We had our presentation around 3:45 this afternoon at the private home of one of the board members of Los Pisingos.  It was a beautiful penthouse apartment.  It couldn't have been more perfect.  Johnny and I arrived, and received Manny within 10 minutes.  

We were only there for about 30 minutes, when the taxi showed up and we had to rush downstairs.  He fell asleep in the taxi on the way back to the hotel, and then slept for another 20-25 minutes.  He is very calm, content and happy.  We had dinner in the dining room downstairs with all of the other families and he was just happy to sit and watch all the other babies and kids at the other tables.  I had him in the baby bjorn while we ate, and he loved that.  After dinner, we had a Skype call with Grandma and Grampa Karels and his Auntie Karissa and Uncle Josh.  Skype is such a wonderful invention!

He fell asleep on Johnny's lap while we were talking on Skype.  It was so cute and everyone got to see him fall asleep online!  We changed his diaper and got his jammies on, and he woke up, but not for long.  He's sleeping peacefully in his playpen next the bed right now.  He looks like a little angel : )  

Well, enough babbling, and down to the pictures!




Presentation scheduled for 3:30 pm central time

Hola!

We just spoke with Cecelia, and she is picking us up at our hotel (Zuetana 106) at 2:45 pm. We will post pictures when we get back from Los Pisingos.

Love,

Dulcie and Johnny

We are here!

Just a quick note to let everyone know we made it safe and sound. It was a very pleasant trip. The flight was much shorter than we expected. We spoke with our representative here in Colombia (Cecelia) and she will be calling us at 11:00 tomorrow morning, to let us know what time we will be meeting Manny! We are both pretty tired, especially me, since I didn´t go to bed until 4am last night and got up at 6am. I´m running on fumes! I´ll post more tomorrow.

Buenas Noches (PK - Is that spelled correctly?)

Love from Bogota,

Dulcie and Johnn
