Luis Angel (4), Daniel (4) and Carlos Samuel (6)
We will be flying to Bogota on July 7, then on to Pereira on July 8. We will at long last realize our dream of parenthood on July 9. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us, has given us financial gifts and/or has been a source of support and encouragement for us. We are beside ourselves with excitement (mixed with a bit of disbelief and tinge of terror).
Please pray that all of the remaining pieces will fall into place. We have much to accomplish in the next two and one half weeks. Life is going to be insane with work and home. We still do not have a sitter for Baxter and will need to take Sylvia at least half way to Virginia Beach to stay with my very gracious sister (please note that my very gracious mother would be the one meeting us halfway). Pray for peace in our hearts and in our house. Things are about to get really crazy around here!

Your sons are so precious. Congratulations.
Congratulations!!! Boys are the best!!! We are also adopting again and this time thru Colombia with CHI so I have been following your blog waiting for your picture! Congratulatiosn to your beautiful family of 5!!
Oh my, they are indeed very handsome little guys!!!! We are so very excited for you guys, and especially excited that we get to again 'experience' Pereira, even if through the eyes and hearts of others!
Dave has some information that he would like to send off to you guys...we will send that after the weekend via email. On the other hand, we are working on the Spanish info. I told Andrea we would send. We are off to see my family this weekend (out in Pittsburgh) and will try and finish that up to send as well!
Please let us know if there is anything else we can do from afar!
Much Love & Prayer as you move forward toward realizing your own dream of becoming a family of 5! And oh my, what a great amount of testosterone under one roof!!!!!
Blessings,
Sheila

This is amazing. You will have the time of your life!
We'll be praying for a Baxter-sitter. I wish we were closer so we could have the honor.

Praying for peace, joy, and love to fill your home!
Your boys are adorable and look like a lot of FUN!! Congrats!
The boys are such cuties! Congratulations, it's finally almost here! With 3 boys around, life certainly will be entertaining! I will be praying for someone reliable to step forth to watch the dogs while you are gone. We got desperate and left our dogs with some real losers. It became completely chaotic due to the dog running away, getting injured, and being micro-chipped in their names, not ours. This situation escalated just 2 days ago when the dog, our pug, for some unknown reason escaped from his play area and was claimed by those people who again lied and said the dog was theirs. After a day of not hearing from them, it was apparent they had no intentions of ever returning the pug to us, but with the police we were able to thwart their ideas of stealing our dog. Rascal is now safe at home. Praise God!!! He is not allowed out of my sight though! I am praying that someone trustworthy steps forward.
Oh they are simply precious!
Congratulations! They are adorable. I am so excited for you and for them. Everything will fall into place I know and you will be on your way sooner than you can imagine.
Wow! I am so happy for you. Maybe we will meet up some time in Bogota on your way back through.

I heard you had a travel date. I am so excited for you! That's amazing. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers as you prepare for your trip and during your travels. Chris and I are totally pumped for you guys. I can't wait to meet the fam. Chris is obsessed with sports of all kinds and has already volunteered to be a part of the entertainment committee when you guys are ready for a break! YIPPEE!
your boys are sooooo cute! Congrats!!
WooHoo! Look at all those boys! Andrea, looks like your on your own "girl" wise for a few years. My husband is the oldest of three boys and my mil always says that we're the daughters she never had. Pray for their wives now but enjoy them while they are young.
ENJOY your time when you get to Colombia. How often to we get a 4 week vacation? We don't have to work, do laundry, cook. I'm telling you, adoption has it's perks.
The boys are beautiful! You both are going to have so much fun!
Yeah!! I am so excited for you guys! They are soooo cute!!
You are in our prayers!
