Hanging out with Lili's foster family....

Yesterday we decided to spend the day around the house so that I could see what Lili's real schedule was like. It was rainy most of the day, so we really just stayed inside. I called Ligia in teh morning to find out when she wanted to come visit. We agreed upon 10am on Wednesday. Around 4pm Tuesday night, she called to see if they could all come around 6:30pm. Ends up there is a religious holiday in Guatemala today and the girls have no school. So.... they came last night and spent the night here in the apartment with us. Lili actually did very well... happy to see them, but not so much that she refused to be with me.

This morning, the girls and I walked to the panaderia for some bread, then we had breakfast and coffee. We all went out for a walk.... in the sun... it was HOT! We went to an old church that is now in ruins after a devastating volcanic eruption years ago.... it was very cool to walk around. We went to the Parque Central, got iced coffee (the only place in Guatemala that we can find it!), then went to a small market and another church. Ligia was tired, so we came back to the apartment and are just hanging out. Lili finally went to sleep, and the girls and Ligia are watching TV. I'm not sure when they'll be leaving, but I presume it'll be before it's dark since they will likely take a bus back to Guatemala City. My neighbor actually stopped by to see if Lili and I wanted to go to the pool, but since the girls are here, I told her that we would go with her another day. So... once they leave, we'll probably just hang out around the house. Tomorrow, if it's nice, we'll take another walk around the city... maybe go out for coffee or something. Friday night there is a get-together for families from the US who are here caring for their babies, so I'll probably go to that with my friend from Evanston, Sara. Other than that, we are just waiting to find out when Lili's appointment is at the US Embassy so that we can make travel arrangements for Moe and Max.

We hope everyone is doing well.... we can't wait to make it back home so that Lili can meet everyone! Take care, and please post comments to us! We'd love to hear from everyone!
