Day 2 !

Well, so far so good! Last night all the kids slept from about 9:15p to 6:45 except Mami and Papi as we kept waking up checking on the kids. Jhon is such a bundle of energy and has not stopped talking, even in his sleep he talks :) It was so funny when about 15 mintues after all of us had been trying to go to sleep we hear this vaaaarrrrrooooommm. Jim and I just laughed as it was Jhon playing with his car in bed. We told him no and to go to sleep and he did! This morning he woke up saying that his stomach hurt and he hugged the trash can for a few mintutes but nothing came out. It was so sad and cute at the same time poor kid!
I think stefani is coming around today as she smiled a lot more and was very active. Not like yesterday where she seemed like she was in a daze all day. She has congenital hip dysplasia and has to wear a brace only when she sleeps. It was a tug of war trying to get her to wear it last night so I finally said she has been through so much today so I'll let it go and we will try it again tomorrow night. Well she let me put it on and only cried for about 1 minute then fell asleep :) She may have to have surgery, we will see when we get back to the states. She can move her leg in some pretty interesting postions. But you wouldn't know she has a problem, b/c she climbs and runs around just like a normal kid, so we will see. I can not believe the size 12 month clothes are too big for her. I had to roll her jeans to get them to stay today. She is so tiny. Actually all the kids are so tiny. They are so cute!!!
Today we didn't do a whole lot. We went to the bank where it took Jim a least 30 mintues to exchange some money, then off to the grande parque again. The kids don't like to eat lunch so I had some lunch and we did a few things around the B&B. Then I took a nap when I put Stefani down while Jim took the other 2 out for a walk and ice cream. Jhon continued to complain of pain in his tooth but when I looked it was a sore so I got some medicine and he was a trooper when it stung. One thing that is great here is that alomost everybody delivers from the pharmacy to mcdonalds 24 hours and it is usually free!
Well we are getting the other 2 into bed so more tomorrow!





You can see Leidy brushing my hair and Stefani is copying her and trying to brush her hair. :)

LOVE that last pic! And I am with you, I just can't imagine how 12 mos. clothes are so big for Steph! Sounds like you had another day of smiles and perhaps down time.

It is a real treat to hear all these details! Still praying a ton!

How Beautiful!!! Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and praying for you all. Maria (still awake at 10)says she's going to be Leidy's friend. Elena (20 month old) and I checked out your blog this afternoon and when my tears started to roll, she wiped my face. I am simply amazed at the impact you all have made on our entire family--in the short time we've known you. God has blessed us through your lives and now through the lives of your children. Can't wait to see you all in person, but until then... God bless! and happy trails!

I love how comfortable they are with you already. And I thought that Leidy would be a little stand-offish at first, yeah right! I love the picture where she is holding your face. So sweet!
I can see you two being great shopping buddies!
Love you and can't wait for more!

Jim, Jaime, and Family:

Thanks for sharing your story and photos with us. God has really blessed all of you, individually and as a family unit. Our prayers are with you as you begin this exciting (and challenging) new chapter in your lives.

(Hey Jim -- have you introduced the children to California Rocket Fountains yet? Do they understand the fundamentals of repacking?? :) Too bad that we plan to sell ALL of them this 4th of July!!! :)

Keep smiling and may God continue blessing and enriching your lives each day.

Jim & Jaime,

I am so happy for you guys! It's such an exciting time for both of you, and a really awesome opportunity for your kids. (It’s a great week here too, as Pam and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary today!!)

Jim, as I was running after reading about your day yesterday, I was thinking about my life before and after having children. (Cole was born in 1987.) I have to admit, my memories are so much more vivid with my children than before they arrived. One of my favorite sayings is “Life is all about making memories!” That being said, you have a lot to look forward to! I know you and Jaime will be wonderful parents.

Again, congratulations! Kyle

What a beautiful family! It amazes me to know we can't even begin to imagine what our God can do. I hope I get to see much more of your journey. You look like pros at this already. Just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and praying for you. I prayed for you often on Monday esp., and I see many of those prayers answered in the hugs and smiles pictured. May God continue to bless you all.
Love, the Grishams

Congenital hip dysplasia runs in my family. Christian and McKenna (and all of their cousins) had to be screened for it at two months of age with an ultrasound. My mom has a severe case that went untreated until she was three years old. By that time it was really too late to do anything about it so she has had signinficant problems her entire life. Thankfully all of the babies who have been born in our family in the last 20 years who have it have worn the hip harness/brace and they are now perfectly fine, you would never know they had a problem as babies. We'll be praying that brace will align Stefani's hips perfectly and that she won't need surgery!

Ryan and I are loving your updates :)
