Still in WI

Many of you have asked if we are still in WI, well the answer is that we are still here, we have had some delays before our departure to Colombia to pick up our daughters: Edis Milena, Mirellen Cristina, Yesica Tatiana and Mary Sucena. Today we went to Office Depot to order some books that we are preparing for them with pictures of both of our families, and of our home and neighborhood. We have also encountered another delay, and that is that our FBI clearance has expired and we must get a new one before we travel. Under the law, the FBI has to destroy all documents of people who are not under investigation every 6 months. So.. that means that we have to wait about three more weeks to get our Colombian Visas before we can travel. On top of that there are many events going on in Colombia right now that have made it difficult for us to find an apartment: Panamerican Games in Medellin, Easter week (all courts are closed) and the last one I found out about (since I watch Colombia TV daily) is the Davis Cup, which starts this weekend in Bogota. Even though we have had all these delays, this might be for the best, since we might be leaving later and might not have to enroll the girls at school this spring. This is probably best, since we have been unsuccessful in selling our condo and therefore have not found a home in close to or in Middleton.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers throughout this adventure.
