Sentencia Cake Celebration



Tonight we had a beautiful chocolate cake with strawberries to celebrate our Sentencia with everyone here at the hotel. Natalie slept through dinner and woke up just in time to watch everyone eat her cake. I think she was a little jealous. She was drooling a little bit! We went to the Embassy to pick up her Visa today. So, all of the paperwork is complete. Tomorrow we will begin packing up our things and spend some time with our friends before we leave on Saturday morning.

Amberly,
We are so excited for you. I know that you will be so happy to be home with your beautiful daughter. And I am sure Tim can't wait to be reunited with both of you. Enjoy your last day in Columbia! We look forward to meeting Natalie. Have a safe flight.

Good morning, What a nice picture of you girls. You all look very happy and rightly so. The cake looks pretty tasty too!! Sounds as though you've about got things wrapped up for the trip home. You'll remain in my thoughts and prayers for a safe trip. Can't wait to meet little Miss Natalie. She's quite popular and I know will receive a big welcome at the airport. Take care and I hope the flight home is uneventful. Love, Cheryl

Thank you for sharing your wonderful adoption story with us. I enjoyed the pictures of Natalie and of course the "ending" with the Sentencia cake.
Safe trip home. Sean is waiting to meet Natalie. Safe trip. Hold on to those papers!!!!!!

Hi Natalie,

By now you should be sleeping in your own little bed and Mommy and Daddy (and a whole bunch of other people) will have sighed a HUGE sigh of relief!!! My Mommy still gets a lump in her throat thinking about the first night I slept in MY bed. We have really enjoyed watching your story unfold. Your parents did a lovely job on their BLOG (thanks for sharing). I hope that you and I can play sometime soon! Welcome to our CAI family. Hugs and Kisses, Olivia Santos (and Mommy, Jennifer Santos--YAHOO International Friends member since 2006 haha!)
