Entegracion day at ICBF, went with whole family and met with social worker. We have been so blessed with a really smooth transition. Johan Mateo is blossoming, and the folks at ICBF noted the difference in his face and countenance. We got our necessary paperwork to continue with the court process down in Florencia, which by all accounts is going smoothly. We might be ready to go by mid-April or even earlier. After that went and had Johan checked for parasites, results negative which is good news, just hope he starts gaining some weight. He seems a little heavier, and eating certainly isn’t a problem.

Diary - March 22
Monday – Big day, went with kids, Abuelita, Alvaro, Romel and Alejandra and their kids to Chicaque Park, a nature reserve south of Bogota. Strikingly beautiful, we had a big hike down from the cloud forest, dropped probably 1500 feet along a pretty rough trail, took about 2 hours, tiring especially with the kids.
Camila and Gisele did great, actually kept pace with Manuel. Papi carried Johan Mateo in the Baby Bjorn, and he was a little trooper and seemed to really enjoy being outdoors. At the bottom we ate lunch in a cool restaurant overlooking a further drop into a valley, then luckily took a jeep back up the mountain to the top. Everyone was exhausted by day’s end.
