Happy Valentines Day!

First of all congratulations to Angie and Heath who got their sweet baby boy Cruz today! They're another family from our agency who will be together with us at Hotel Paris adopting their little boy. Can't wait for them to update their blog with pictures of the little guy because we won't be back to the hotel in Bogota until Friday to see him in person!

We had an awesome day here in Santa Marta. John worked a bit this morning before we went for breakfast at about 9:30. The dinning room is right on the beach and apparently the fresh sea air was pretty relaxing for Alton because he actually fell asleep in his high chair while we were eating. We headed back to the room after breakfast and layed him down for a nap. He napped for about 2 1/2 hours while John got more work done on the computer & Athena and I spent the morning at the pool with Mary and the kids. John and Alton joined us at about lunch time with fruit and sandwhiches he made for a pool side lunch.

Alton liked the water a lot! He liked splashing and slapping at the water and doesn't mind getting his face wet at all. We lubed him up really good with sunblock and tried our hardest to keep him in the palm tree shade the whole time. He is so fair skinned! Not like our other little Colombian who tans like a coffee bean:)














Ena asked if she could take a nap by the pool, so we covered her up with a beach towel on a lounge chair and she took a little pool side siesta:) Her and I were at the pool the entire day. It was great!

After our day at the pool we all showered and then headed out for dinner with the Jaenisch clan to a seafood restaurant off the resort. We decided that would be a fun way to celebrate Valentines Day:) It was super yummy and guess who liked the calamari! Yup, that's Ena chowing down the squid!
