Back in my country!


We finally landed in LA at 12:30 at night. We actually got through customs and imigration really quickly considering all the visa and adoption stuff. The kids were really tired, but excited to be there. The sat around while we got the luggage and waited for them to give the okay for the kids to be in the country. It was great seeing the kids get all excited to see their Papi. You can see they already have a deep love for their parents.

We stayed in a REALLY crappy hotel, thanks to my husband! HA!! It was being renovated and so it was a mess. I also was waken up by the maid coming into clean at 7:30!!! I was REALLY mad. I was tired and check out was not until 12:00!

I stayed in LA while the McCrackens headed home. When we were getting the 2 youngest carseats put in, they were really excited. We were thinking that they are going to hate these, because they have never really had to even were a seatbelt in Columbia. Ezzy told Daniela (now Nicy) that she was going to have to share it. HA!! Adam and I (Rachel was up in the room, dealing with some problems) started laughing. Adam told her that they weren't going to share it, because she didn't need it. HA!! It still makes me laugh.

Dave and Adona met me in LA for a quick trip to the beach, so while I waited I caught up on sleep. It was nice.

Jena!!! You are so adventurous! What a good friend you are. It looks like you had such a fun time. Thanks for keeping a log of it. It was fun to read/look at pictures. How did Adona do without you? I am so out of it...I didn't even know that you left. I am glad that you made it back safely!

Thanks for updating. I finally had to give Rach a quick call yesterday to make sure they were alive, safe and home.

Can't wait to see you and hear all the cool stories you have. You must have missed your baby.

Holy Cow! You have been on some adventure! How neat! I can not imagine how neat that must have been for these kids and their new parents. How neat that you got to experience it as well.

Wow Jena! That's so awesome that you went to Colombia!!! I'm so jealous. I was planning to go there later this year but I need to save up some money instead of spend it all on travels. How was it? Would you recommend it?
