Hola from Bogota!
We had a very long but uneventful day- thanks for all of your prayers for safe travel! When we arrived in Bogota, we waited in line to get through customs, retrieved ALL of our luggage, and made it through security. Yes, a man was waiting for us with a sign THEIS. We certainly were glad to see him! Our initial impression of Bogota has only been in the dark, but we are clearly on the newer side of town. Isabel, our translator, met us at Hotel Paris. She hugged both of us and greeted us warmly. Again, we're glad to see her! We just unpacked in our home for the next weeks. A crib is all set up and waiting for Josh's first nap. We met another couple from Michigan. They arrived yesterday and will meet their 2 girls tomorrow. Wow! They gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the place.
We will post more pictures of the hotel and tell you about it another day. These travelers are done for today!

So wonderful to read of your safe arrival to Bogotá!! I was thinking of you today knowing that you were on your way to Joshua!!
We look forward to following along on this joyous time in your lives!
All the best,

PS... put in a request for Juanita's famous Empanadas!
WOO HOO!!!!
(if that would've REALLY been audible, my sleeping boys would be awake now for SURE!!)
Jeff and I are SOOOOOO excited for you both. We are praying you are able to rest on all levels when you are able. We also pray that God would go before you guys and begin preparing tiny little Josh in a way that only He can...that when Joshua looks at you both he will know you as mom and dad in his heart.
We love you and are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to be on this journey "with" you.
Love and hugs to you both!
Hi Chad and Kristin
We are so glad that you made it there safely and with all of your luggage. We were thinking about you all day! I'm glad there is another family there from the States, that must be really nice! Enjoy your day of exploration today. Wow, I can't believe tomorrow is the big day when you get to meet Joshua. What an exciting moment! We are so happy for you! Take care!
