This is the info Kari sent me right before the really good news!!!!!!
Hi Everyone!

Well thanks to the wonders of technology and some help from Kelly back home, we are still getting a post done even though we can no longer access the blogger. For some reason the hotel’s access is denying any blog sites right now… but hopefully that won’t be a problem for us by tomorrow, as we may just get to fly out to Bogota!!!

Jeremy waited in the room most of the morning to hear from Emmanuelle, and around 11 he got a call that Yovany was waiting downstairs to take him to get the passport for Alayna. He ran down to the pool to tell me and left… I only saw him for a few seconds so I don’t know if we have the signatures we need to fly yet or not. We will know by the end of business today and if it is good news Jeremy will go with Yovany to buy tickets for tomorrow morning.

I have not packed ANYTHING yet, as those who know me well probably guessed, as I do not want to put a jinx on things.

I promise to have Kelly update this entry as soon as we have word, so keep checking back!

Here are some pictures from this morning, Alayna looks so cutie today I cannot stand it! I think these pants are Schuyler’s, her belly holds them up nicely now! The group shot is us with the German family who left this morning. And Alayna, talking on the phone to someone very special I am sure!!!

I am so excited and nervous! We will know our return date today!!!!!!!

Sunset on Hidden Valley Lake

Here is a picture of the beautiful sunset we get to see right in our own backyard. Yes, Hidden Valley Lake (just like the salad dressing).

Florida Vacation!

Hi, here are a couple of pics from our Florida Trip - we went to Orlando, as I had a seminar to attend (What's Right in Healthcare). We had an awesome time - spent a couple days at Cocoa Beach, saw the shuttle take off, got awful sunburns, did the Disney thing, then came home!! Can hardly wait to go back:)

At Grandma and Grandpa's

Here are a few pics of our trip to G&G's for the annual February Birthday Dinner. Enjoy!

Our goofy dog

Here's a goofy picture of Valentino, apropos for Valentine's Day. He doesn't look much like this in real life, but I used a wide-angle lens to give him a goofy, cartoonish face.

Hope everyone has clear driveways!

problems?

Hi there, it looks like some are having problems accessing this blog. If it does not work out, I can see if there is an easier one to create. Perhaps it is because I did not list everyone from the beginning (did not know I had to do that).

Anyway keep warm and drive safe!
