Bonding has been improving each day. First with me, then Andy, now finally with Lucy. Josie has become Lucy's shadow and mimics everything she does. We used to call Lucy "Luz the Caboose" as she follows her cousins around with stars in her eyes. I think Josie's now taken over the role.

This morning we had a wonderful visit with Juanita, the therapist from FANA who has worked with Josie since she arrived at FANA. We learned that she also was an advocate for Josie's case over the year that she spent at FANA trying to satisfy all of the requirements for her adoptability, for that we can never express enough of our gratitude. Juanita was doing a family integration report, a new requirement that we didn't have with Lucy. All checked out fine, but yet another new step.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 we have our Bienestar interview. Great timing with naps, but we'll get through it. Once we get through this step we begin the process in the courts.
We went out for lunch to a restaurant tucked in our neighborhood. It's a French bakery with some food. We ate butter in many forms, all of them good! The girls were getting squirrelly, so we didn't have dessert, but you bet we'll be back!
Another short outing to make copies ended me at a papeleria. The woman who ran it gave great service and accomplished a lot in a very small space. A Kinkito's, if you will.

Because sometimes we just see stuff we find interesting, here are a few fun shots of life in Bogota.

| Always strong showings of security, this armored vehicle was outside of a bank we were visiting for their ATM. I don't know if I've ever seen one this tough looking. |

Darling picture of Andy and Josie! We'll pray things go smoothly through the courts so we can soon meet Josie. We are enjoying your updates!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Josie copying Lucy's casual pose on the bed. So cute! It's so much fun to read your posts, and we hope all went well with the Bienestar interview!
