Tour

Here's the tour you asked for Bethany. (After all it is your camera)
Our best friend in Colombia - Patricia

Our home in Ibague.

The front garden.

Maicol and Juan's bedroom.

Bedroom of Mama, Papa and Andres.

Living room

Kitchen

View of garage from kitchen

Dining and rear courtyard (open air)

Upstairs (we get lots of excercise going up and down)

Front door

I don't know that there's much to add from what Dan wrote this morning. I would say it was a good thing we were done with breakfast and sitting down when Patricia told us that we could sign tomorrow. We will see about changing plane reservations tomorrow after we know a little more about the Bogota timeline.
We went to the big park this afternoon. It was very crowded since it was Sunday. Most of the little storefronts we pass are closed on Sunday and it seems everyone goes to the park. Andres chased the chickens - which is evidently great fun if you're 2 1/2. I personally don't see the fun in it. :) Andres is a climber. He likes to climb up the ladder to the big slides by himself. He can barely stretch his leg from one rung to the next. The other parents at the park think he's too little and want to help him. We did splurge and have ice cream instead of popsicles today (about $1 more). I think Maicol spent the whole 1 1/2 hours on the merry -go -round. There were too many big kids playing soccer for him to play today. Juan did alot of swinging. I must have pushed him for at least half an hour.
We're hoping to go swimming tomorrow afternoon if the weather cooperates. It was a little cooler today and misted a little rain this morning. I think it's cool enough tonight that we should be able to get to sleep easier - if we can just shut our brains off and quit thinking about the busy days ahead of us.
Have a good evening.

Thanks for the house tour. It was interesting to see where you've been living.

The little boys and I are going out to mom's tomorrow, I need to check out her software so we can get her a computer.

My two year old was great today. When we were picking up toys he started singing a clean up song. It sounded a lot like "meem up, meem up". (I babysit him twice a week while his mom goes to "History of Math" class. Before he was born whe was a junior high math teacher and probably expects to go back to it at some point.)

Supper time here, gotta go rustle up some food.

Hope you have big plans for tomorrow. It's not every day you get to celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary in a foreign country with your three new sons.
