Hi everyone,

We had a low key day today at the hotel. When we came down for breakfast all of our Danish friends sang Happy Birthday to me in their Danish language. Very nice. I also had a Colombian serenade at lunch time by Jeanette, Marischa, and Luciola. Marischa made me a birthday bracelet with the colors of the colombian flag and some local beads, and made a matching one for Andy as well. So nice of her to do that.

After breakfast we went to the park across the street and played for a while. Andy had a good time checking out all of the swings and such.

After we returned one of the other families here volunteered to trade rooms with us as they have a much larger room than ours, and knowing that we get Dana tomorrow we would need some extra space. We were so thankful that they offered that to us. The room that we are in now is about 3x the size of our original room, and Andy has his own little bunk-bed room. So we spent the afternoon unpacking again, and getting ready for our little Dana tomorrow.

We spoke with Cecilia this morning and she is going to pick us up at 8 a.m. and take us to CRAN Orphanage for our presentation. Jodie ironed Dana's little dress, and we got everything all set for our trip. We are soooooo excited for tomorrow to come.

So check the blog tomorrow and I'm sure in the early afternoon we will have some pictures.

Until then have a great night and thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers.
PS-tonight I was surprised with a birthday party! It was so nice of Jodie and our Danish friends, as they prepared a lot of appetizers, champagne/wine, and the cake that Jodie got earlier in the day.

How great those nice people offered you their larger room! We can hardly wait to hear that Dana's finally with you.
