Summer is here and we are in the middle of family and friends visiting. Over the 4th of July, we had our friend Connie and her kiddos up from Boise to spend some time with us. the weather started turning hot. We enjoyed our local Laurel parade and fireworks with family. Still no word from Colombia on our dossier. We were told the ICBF (Colombia board) has 45 days to review our update. We are going on 4 months now. Nichole, our social worker from CHI has told us we are the next family on their list waiting to hear a board decision. Hopefully, this will be the week.
Well, we are not letting this delay get the best of us. Yesterday, grandpa, myself, and the girls went on a hike up into the mountains to a waterfall. We happened to see a brown bear during our 5 mile hike back into the wilderness. The kids did great. the last 1 1/2 miles coming out were tough on Bree (5yrs) and dad carried her on his shoulders. Can't expect the kids to do a 10 mile hike and not be just a bit weary and tired. All in all, we had a great time and celebrated with fresh watermelon back at the pickup.
