New Blog

After months and months of procrastinating, we have finally started a new blog that will document our second adoption from Colombia, as well as update you on our every day life. Over the summer and fall of '09 we have been pulling the documents for our dossier together, and we finally received the last thing that we needed, our USCIS approval, a couple of weeks ago. Everything has been sent to Colombia for translation, has been presented to the orphanage, and we found out last week that the adoption committee at the orphanage approved us and put us on the waiting list!!! We have been told that the estimated wait from this point on is about 12 months. After receiving our referral and updating any last paperwork, we will travel back to Bogota'! We are very excited to be on this journey again, and invite you to follow along at www.backtobogota.com.

Our Little Ladybug

Continuing on with the ladybug birthday theme, Anna was a ladybug (and a darn cute one, I might add) for Halloween. This was the first year that she was old enough to "trick-or-treat", so we took her around our block and the one behind us before heading to a party that one of our friends was throwing. The night was chilly, but Anna had a lot of fun and was particularly fascinated by her wings (which I forgot to take with us to the party.) "Silly Mama", as Anna would say!
