Calm before the storm!

Today has been another low key day. We went to Hacienda Santa Barbara which is a large mall and then we went to Unicentro which is another large mall that is more like the ones in the U.S. We came back for lunch and there is another little boy that came this morning. I think he is 7 years old. Another family that is here has 3 children as well, they are 3, 4 and 6 years old. We showed them the pictures of Juan, John and Catherine and they recognized Juan and John. So, it will be nice for Juan and John to have friends here that they will recognize.

Not a lot to update on little Juan, but we got an email this morning that they are "preparing" him for surgery. That is the word that is used when translating from Spanish to English but what we got out of the email is he will indeed have his adenoids taken out while we are down here. Since we still have awhile down here, it will be in his best interest if we go ahead with the surgery so that he is not miserable to whole time and then also it would not be any fun for him to fly back to MN being sick. We should hopefully get more details tomorrow from Los Posingos.

As Rhett and I were having breakfast and lunch we talked about how this will be our last without 3 children. Then after lunch, I was on the computer and Rhett was sitting by me and one of the other dad's here asked if we would like him to take a picture of us sitting on the couch more or less doing nothing!! He made a comment that after today, that would not be happening again!!

Anyways, as you can see, there is really nothing to report...tomorrow will be our big day and I promise as soon as I am able, I will post an update with pictures!

Glad you were able to get out a little bit today and see some things! There will be lots of days filled with just going to the park, taking a walk or hanging out at the mall!

You have so much love and support being sent your way! Can't wait to hear tomorrow! We'll be checking often! So crazy how wonderful this is! It's really going to happen...in a very short time it's finally going to happen! Though it probably feels like forever as you anticipate and anticipate. Thinking of you with a very warm heart!!!
