Second Step Complete

So after a weekend of basketball watching, thanks to the internet, we received some good news.  Our paperwork is now in the third part of the court process and we are eagerly waiting for the adoption decree.  We are still not sure how soon that will be but once that is complete we can begin the process to get out of here :)  Don't get me wrong this has been a once in a lifetime/ life changing event for me but it will be nice to have the comforts of our own home again;  making our own meal schedule, not worrying about waking the family next door, less germs to avoid, more toys to keep Michael entertained,..you get the point. 

As I reflect back to my time here in Bogota, I wouldn't change a thing.  We have made some great friends, I've gotten to know my own country in a way I never had before, and most importantly we now have a son.  I am not sure when we will get back to explore this country again but I sure am glad we got to make this trip. 

God is so faithful, I never knew when I would be a Mom,but God's plan was greater than my own.  It's funny how right after Christmas we did everything we could to travel to meet Mikey and I know many of you are feeling the same joy as we get steps closer to bringing him to his forever home.  Below are a few pics of what he has been up to:

Michael low crawling!  He wanted to see what Mommy was up to.

 Yes, I am standing on my own. Just give me something to pull myself up with. 

 I am so proud of myself ;)

 Mom, stop with the pictures already.

 Love you all,

Kristin, Matt, & Mikey
