Lots of new NEWS!

Hello ALL!

Well, Carey just left today after being here for 2 weeks. I now have time to catch up with all the on goings of the past few weeks!

First, I am an AUNT. My sister Giulia gave birth to Barbara.

Finally, Carey and I have SOLE custody of Juan! We are all very happy about this. A big hurdle and pretty much the last hurdle(minus the visa). We are looking into how the custody helps us get him to come to the US..will keep you posted!

Juan turned 18. We had a few parties for him and bought him a cell phone and a beer( they can drink here) I felt it was time for me know know where he was and I did not need to rely on on his friends phones. He is a very responsible kid and we are blessed to have him in our life!

We bought a moped. We needed to get around town a little easier. We signed Juan up for drivers ed.

Carey did spend sometime with the other children at the hogar and the staff. The kids love seeing him! Carey is doing better with his Spanish. I am impressed with his progress. With the help of Carey, we decorated the house a little more which makes it feels more homey! I just hope I don't kill the plant in the first month!!!

Overall we are doing well. I did sign up for Spanish lessons. I am finding I am understanding Spanish a little more. Many people have said to us, Juan seems a lot happier and relaxed these days. Love goes a LONG way! Well, enjoy the pictures! I hope you all enjoyed your summer. It is now Spring here! Thank you for all your prayers!

Love,
Bonner y Juan
