Sweet Bonding Time

How can it be that I am already behind on posting pics and documenting our days here in Colombia?  We'll say it's because we are busy keeping up with a very active 3 year old cutie pie!  Seriously though, by the time we get her down at night, I'm exhausted and can barely put together a coherent sentence much less remember the steps to get pics uploaded to the blog.

Since I know you guys are really here to see pics and don't want to hear me ramble on, I'll give a quick update and then include some more adorable pictures taken over the last few days.

The adoption process here in Colombia requires a 7-10 day bonding period before a case can officially be entered into the courts.  We are in the middle of that time now.

We spent Wednesday here at the hotel settling in and giving Juliana Grace time to get comfortable with us.  Her transition seems to be going very smoothly.  She is playful and happy most all of the time.  Nap time and bedtime seem to be the times of day that make her a little sad.  However, even her sad face is precious! We just snuggle and sing and she falls asleep fairly quickly.

The hotel has a lovely pool and a fun little playground so are spending the majority of our time outside.  It is summer here so the days are warmer but it cools off quickly as the sun begins to go down.  The pictures below are from our first full day together with our Gracey.  I will publish a separate post from our outing yesterday.
