It is Cinco De Mayo. We are staying at the Embassy Suites, near downtown Bogota. The area we are in is very, very nice - a beatiful area with shops, restaurants, nice walkways and waterfalls in front of buildings. We are enjoying some peace and quiet here as we have a suite and the kids all sleep in the other room. They have been so good.
Leidy and I have been going thru an English phonics book. She is really doing well and really wants to learn. Some people have told her that she won't be speaking any Spanish once we are in the US so I guess she is trying her best to get a head start. I gave John another new puzzle today. Oh my word, that kid went crazy. It was like the greatest gift anyone could give him. He has been playing with it all day!
Jim has been able to work here quite well as they have a fantastic business center. Most people understand English here also so that makes things a little less confusing for us as we are limited but it is really not too bad to get around.
Jim and I have not been feeling good today. It is tough to keep up with 3 munchkins when you don't feel good but so far we survived today! All 3 of them spent an hour in the tub today. It was so nice to just be able to sit and rest and smile at how cute my kids are. Jim came up to the room when Stefani went down for a nap and I took the kids to a very good hamburger restaurant that has an awesome kids play area. The kids played for about an hour which gave me another chance to rest and watch them play :) Tonight we ran to the store for a few things and ordered chinese. It was very good. I don't think we have any plans for tomorrow yet. I am hoping to feel better to be able to do some fun things with the kids.
Here are some pics of our 3 little monkeys! 
For a snack today they made themselves a picnic :)

I love Leidy's smirks and Jhon's eager expressions!
Rest up and feel better!

I'm sorry to hear that you guys aren't feeling well. It's always tough to be a mommy when all you really want is a nap and some peace and quiet. I'm sure you're both longing for your own bed at home. I'll be praying for you!
It does look like you guys have had some great bonding time! Fireworks season is in full swing here in Pa, so it's kind-of nice that you have this little stay in Bogota so Jim can really have some time to spend with the kids.
I've been enjoying all your posts and praying for you guys daily. May Jesus continue to pour out his blessings on all five of you!!
That last picture made me smile!
We stayed at that Embassy Suites too. Its very nice and they were great with our son. They also have car service at the hotel that is very reasonable and safe if you want to get out and about. It seems they have larger cars than your standard taxis so that is helpful. Hope you are all feeling better soon.
Sounds like all is going well. Chinese food in Colombia, huh? Pass along the name of the place you liked and any others that you'd recommend. We have a picky eater arriving in Bogota in 11 days! Also would love to hear more about the Embassy Suites--their rates, accommodations, etc--and why you switched from Zuetana. Oh, and have I mentioned that you have some of the most BEAUTIFUL kids I have ever seen!!?? They are absolutely gorgeous! What a handsome family you all are--definitely need some professional portraits taken when you get back!
Love Stefani's new do...
