This may be some of the funniest footage we have ever been able to capture of our boys'. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Important Dates
- August 7, 2008: HOMECOMING!!! The boys are now officially U.S. citizens!

- July 24, 2008: Sentencia! We are officially a family in the eyes of the Colombian government. The boys now have the last name Eisenberger-Woods!
- July 16, 2008: Integration Meeting at ICBF. This was a blur of meeting with a ton of questions that were answered. Now the legal process begins and we do nothing but enjoy the boys while we await Sentencia.
- July 11, 2008: Meeting with the psychologist from ICBF. She came by the hotel to check in and see if we have any initial questions that we need answers to (of course we do!) She also wanted to see how the boys were doing in their new environment.

What beautiful singing. So merry :)
Love Nana and Pop Pop Peregory
so cute! I love it!
that is great! at some point on those drives it crosses your mind--do i let them keep singing the same thing to keep them happy even though i am beginning to go insane or tell them to stop and risk what may come in the void? the answer is not always so easy. :)
Hola Eisenberger Family,
You all look so beautiful in your family Christmas picture. We hope you had a "Feliz Navidad" and a Happy New Year. We haven't been too faithful at posting on our blog in a while, but just entered a long one to start the New Year off right. Keep in touch! Hope everything is well with you all.
Love, La Familia Baumgardner
That is awesome! I must admit though that I was kind of hoping for 10 minutes of "cow, cow, cow, cow, cow, cow, cow, cow".
Glad we got to see you guys. We miss you already. Keep in touch and take care.
Ed and Bec
Dear Eisenbergers,
we do remember you and the beautiful and funny boys.
Happy 2009 by

Andrea, Can you please e-mail or call me? Have some friends interested in adoption who'd like to talk to someone who has adopted. Are you willing to talk to them? Thanks! Thinking of and praying for you often. Love, Pam Howard
Troy, their singing is great. I can see they are under your close tutelage.
