Brrrrrrr

It's been COLD here! It was a great big 0 degrees when we left for church this morning. Hard to believe, but my little Colombian boys have done very little complaining about it. Andrew does love to put his ice cold hands on me though to get a reaction. Mostly they just want it to snow. Still doesn't look like there's much of it in our forecast.
We had the opportunity to go to a CHI informational meeting today and talk about our adoption. You know how much we hate talking about our kids. :) Anyway, we really enjoyed it and they were pretty well behaved. We met a couple of other families who are interested in Colombia for a sibling adoption, so that was nice too. We are obviously a little biased when it comes to Colombian siblings tho.
I should say something about the name thing. We have Andres whom we are planning to change to Andrew when we do the readoption here. We have been calling him that for over a month now. We had the option of changing it in Colombia (since he is under 3), but decided not to at that time. We are still considering changing Juan Pablo to John Paul. We think we will change Maicol to the traditional American spelling and give him a middle name, since he doesn't have one. We have been talking to the older two about it some, but have not come to a definite decision yet.
Here's a picture of Juan with his new coat and snowpants. They were a very good deal, so we bought them for next year. Of course, they couldn't wait. Juan wanted to wear the snow pants to church today. We also bought backpacks for $2.50, which is why Andrew is in the picture. They are such hams.
Hoping to get above freezing by next week!
