Hey Everybody! How do you like the new Blog layout??! There are a few new features including a Search feature, an improved archiving system and now you can post a comment with no user and password needed!
Ok enough of that - now it's time for an update...
We still have no word on a definitive travel date. We should be getting that early this week but it looks like we will be leaving sometime around July 25th...this should put us back in Da' Burgh just in time for Steelers opening day on Sept. 9th...
We have also received (and read through) the medical/social/bio info on the kids and have a few interesting tidbits to share....
Carol:
LOVES to sing and dance...and she does NOT like soup...
John-Freddy:
LOVES cars and his favorite foods are pasta and lentil soup.
Baby Anji:
She is spoiled (yes the report actually said that) and she likes to wake up at 6 a.m. and yell to wake everyone in the house up because she wants to eat.
Very, very important info to know!
Also, we have been working really hard on getting the house/rooms ready before we leave. Even though we aren't finished yet we wanted to show you some pictures (we were too excited to wait!)
Anji's bed:
Carol's bed:
John-Freddy's bed:
Note: the BEAUTIFUL hand-painted, yes I said HAND-PAINTED Penguins stripes in John-Freddy's room (thanks to Mark Anstis!)
Lastly, Scott has decided to fly the Colombian colors...FOR LIFE! Check out his new ink work:
Well, guess that's about it. When we find out our travel date we'll let you know...until then thanks so much for all your support and keep the comments coming!
Love,
Scott & Donna
Hi Donna and Scott,
Have been meaning to send a note forever, we have had tons of visitors.
It is so exciting to read your updates and the great news that you are getting 3 little munchkins. Was there talk at one time that you were getting 3 boys. In any event it is a wonderful blessing, you have my admiration. You will get a chance to love 3 human beings that maybe otherwise would never have had that.
We adore our many grandchildren, each one different which makes it exciting and sometimes challenging.
Happy travels and all the very best,
Helga

I love the pink!!! The bedding, flowers, and 2 different colored walls are perfect! Very girly! John-Freddy's room looks like Scott's son! I love the fancy diagonal stripe on the wall- very cool! Scott- is that a real tatoo?
