Hi everybody,
I am so sad I did not have the time to update Eli's blog before but many things have happened latelly. We can't always do everything we want to when we want to do it.
Let me tell you, Eli is becoming such a beautiful girl. She is home with mom now and very busy, talking up a storm in both English and Spanish and I love to see her progress. She is becoming a smart and sweet little girl.
About a month ago Eli got locked inside my car after having a morning walk in the woods. I put her in her car seat, strapped her in and then left the car keys next to her seat and closed the door. At first she panicked and cried so much while I was also in panic watching her through the window. The car alarm sounded very loud everytime Eli made any slight movement inside car and she would just go nuts. When we finally calmed down, I started explaining Elizabeth what to do to be able to get out the car seat. First she freed her arms but her legs were still strapped. But then after about 50 minutes of struggle, directions and frustrations from both parts, Eli was able to grab the door handle and open it! Yes, she was such a great help. I didn't have to call triple A to open the door for me. A nice couple that was there at the parking lot with us, gave Eli a refreshing drink as a prize for her efforts. We then got in the car and laughed all the way home remembering every single thing we had gone through.
And here are the pics from the trip to Bogota in August of last year. It was Eli's first time in Colombia and she loved all the attention she had from everybody.
You can see more pics of the trip on the slideshow. And if you click on it, you'll see them larger.
Hace ya casi tres meses que no actualizaba nuestra pagina. Ahora estoy mucho mas ocupada y el tiempo no me alcanza para todo lo que quiero hacer. Sin embargo, aqui estan las fotos de nuestro viaje a Bogota en Agosto del 2009. Y para ver mas foticos, pueden ver el slideshow y hacer click en el, para ver las fotos mas grandes.
Eli esta bien, muy grande y activa. No esta llendo al jardin desde mediados de Diciembre, asi que las dos estamos en casa lo cual nos ha ayudado a unirnos mas. Le gusta mucho pintar con acuarelas y temperas y tambien con sus dedos. Necesito llevarla a mas actividades, pero poco a poco nos iremos organizando mejor. Abrazos, Clarena.

Clarena, Greg and Eli, I wanted to say Happy Adoption Day! We were in Guatemala at the same time two years ago getting ready to bring our daughters home! Anna and I celebrated her Adoption Day on March 11, because that was the day that we first met and I know that it was the day that Eli was placed in your arms forever!
Congratulations to your family!
Mary Ann (mommy to Anna, 2 1/2, placed in my arms on March 11, 2008)
