I'm Back!

hola from bogota! sorry for the delay in blogging...the combination of a sick baby, visiting grandparents and internet issues makes it difficult to get on the computer for any amount of time! we had a wonderful time with grandma and grandpa johnson during their visit and were very sad to see them go. i only wish cruz and heath would have been feeling better so we could have gotten out with them more. they did have a wonderful time with the zuges at the gold museum and apparently found a fabulous restaurant near there that we need to try when we finally get down there. we've certainly discovered that you can eat like a king for very cheap...just ask my dad about his steak dinner! :)
while the zuges and my parents were out being tourists, a very important call came for the zuges. when they got back to the hotel, they got their message and it was a great one - SENTENCIA! they started their paperwork on friday morning and are hoping to fly home the end of next week. here is a cute picture of my parents with athena & alton all dressed up:

that night we enjoyed another dinner at hotel paris with grandma & grandpa and finally got a picture of all us at the the table:

i'm not gonna lie, i think our boy is awfully cute even when he is sick:

i was so hoping that cruz would wake up feeling all better on friday, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. thursday night was a very rough night for all of us (he's really training us in as first time parents!) and his fever ended up getting as high as 104, so we had to have the doctor come back for another visit. she ended up prescribing him amoxicillin, so he's been on that for a few days now. poor little guy! we were hoping to take a trip to monserratte with grandma & grandpa that day, but little cruz had other plans so mommy & daddy stayed home with him while grandma & grandpa struck out on their own adventure (after some encouragement from us and mary!). they ended up having a great time at monserratte and got some beautiful pictures. i have to admit, i was a bit jealous, but we'll definitely be heading there at some point during our stay. here are just a few pics from their outing:

after their return, we enjoyed our last few hours hanging out with them and dined together at paris one last time. it was hard to say good-bye and we can't wait to see them again when we get home! we love you grandma & grandpa!

saturday morning cruz woke up feeling some better, but we knew we needed to stay inside so his improvement would continue. the doctor checked in on him again and said that his lungs sounded better, but she really wanted us to stay in both saturday and today. i have to admit, i'm going a little stir crazy in here, but cruz definitely seems to be getting better! each night has gotten better and he's much more himself, playful and smiley during the days. i did take a quick walk with the jaenischs yesterday afternoon and got an ice cream at mimos and we also picked up subway for their family and our's for dinner as we were all once again craving it! who knew?! last night we played some phase 10 with the zuges and jaenischs and hope to continue the game tonight. both of the french families left for home yesterday, so it's much quieter around here. we are so thankful to be spending our time here with the zuges and jaenischs and know that we have made new life-long friends. also, a big thanks to them for being so kind to our family during their visits! (forgot to mention that on friday, john zuge and my dad went to bogota beer company for happy hour and had a blast! you know poor heath still wasn't feeling quite 100% as he declined a beer outing!)

everyone else is out at the markets today. hopefully today is our last 'inside' day. heath just ran to the grocery store to pick up a few things and get me a mocha. yum! cruz is napping, so all is quiet.

buenos tardes!
ang, heath & cruz
