Day 42: Coming Home

The sun has set on our last day in Bogota, Colombia and we are finishing packing our suitcases.

It is hard to believe we have been in Colombia for six weeks. This is a wonderful country with friendly people, great food and culture. Still we are very excited to return to Nashville tomorrow with Daniel.

We can't wait to introduce him to our two dogs and the rest of his family. We will have a long travel day. We wake up at 4 a.m. to make it to the airport for our 7:50 a.m. flight. We'll arrive in Nashville at 5:30 p.m.

Today we enjoyed lunch with Hedmer, Lilliana and Carolina just outside of Bogota. It really meant a lot to have such wonderful friends to celebrate Daniel's birthday so far from home. Daniel had a little bit more cake too.

At the condominium, Tio Alberto gave Daniel his birthday present; a playschool cell phone. The night before, Daniel showed everyone he knew how to "answer" a phone. We died laughing as he would pick up the phone and place it next to his ear. So, Tio Alberto's gift was perfect for him!

Claudia and I are so grateful to everyone at Children's Hope, Miriam's Promise, Lucia, Oscar and Andres. Words can't give justice to how much we appreciate the love and support from all of our family and friends. Now we begin our adventures as a Forever Family!
