"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."                   Proverbs 13:12

This morning Jaun guided us thru the Salt Cathedral.  It was an hour outside of Bogota.  We saw salt mines and the Cathedral was underground and everything was made of salt.  It was really neato.

O.K........BIG news!  The kiddos are officially ours.  This afternoon we were surprised that I was asked to immediately get in a taxi with Andres (our adoption escort) and go downtown to sign papers to take the kids for good.  There is a big name for it but I don't remember it.  Now starts a bunch of formalities but we were told that we will probably be able to catch a plane home next Wednesday.

Please pray for all the paperwork to go thru properly and for us to be able to catch a flight at a good time for no extra $.   Thanks.

Yeah!!! WOW!!! What a suprise!! It will be easier to wait for you to come home now that the wait is so short. We'll be praying that you have time to keep up with all the 'formalities', play with the kids, take care of the kids and pack! Hope everything goes smoothly.

That's so exciting!!! About the plane tickets, you should try checking out yahoo travel. I found tickets to Miami 2.5 weeks ahead of time this summer for about half the price other sites were selling them for. The website is www.travel.yahoo.com
Hope you find it as useful as I did!
