We had our second post placement visit with the social worker yesterday. Something I dread, but it went fine of course. This was the 3rd social worker we've had. The one who did our home study was there yesterday, but did not do the interview. This one is bilingual, so she was able to talk with the boys a little bit. They really enjoyed her. Maicol told her some jokes and tried to play some tricks on her. They were very cute. It was a long visit with all 3 boys in an 8 x 8 room with a few baby toys, but we managed. Dan had to work, so I got to take them. It helps that we think they're wonderful and love to talk about them. :) Just one more visit to go sometime this summer. It is nice to get affirmation that they are doing well and happy.
We missed out on the big snow again, but there was enough for Maicol and Juan to go down the nieghbors driveway yesterday. They were out for at least a couple of hours playing. Even jumped on the trampoline. Maicol is trying to figure out how to make a snow plow for his bicycle. He got out a cardboard box and some rope, but hasn't quite figured it out yet. I don't see that it's possible, but I hate to discourage him thinking and trying.
With the weather being so cold they are not able to get out as much and play. And they really, really need to get outside and play - for all of our sanities! I got out sheets and draped over the kitchen table for them to play under it yesterday. Juan and Andrew had a good time with that. Even though they're going to be late, we're going to make Valentine's tomorrow. I just couldn't get things ready in time. We celebrated Valentine's day while we were in Bogota in September, so they will have two of the same holiday just a few months apart. Maybe we will continue that.
Not much else going on. Happy Valentines Day!

Hi Karen!
We just turned our PP #2 in. It was a month and a half late! Yikes! But the holidays threw us off, and it was difficult reaching the SW. But what a relief to get them out of the way, huh?
Isn't it amazing how time flies? Well, the boys do look happy, and looks like they're transitioning quite well. You guys are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!
BTW, how much have the boys grown since you've got them? We are constantly adjusting waist sizes on their pants...which is a good thing! But also they are growing taller...Tatiana almost 2 1/2 inches! I guess that's what small children do, though, right?
Happy Wednesday!
Hi, It doesn't suprise me that your meeting went well. Anyone can see that the boys are healthy and happy. I think that Maicol is going to be a really bright one. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY tomorrow. Hope you and Dan stay well, and the rest of the family too. Mom
How funny! My Jonathan tried to make just about everything out of cardboard, duct tape, and aluminum foil. I love that boyish enthusiasm for creating! I loved my post placement visits, but we had them once a month for 6 months! We had the same social worker, too, and he was so helpful and encouraging. I'm glad they're behind me, though. Sounds like you're doing great.
