Yes, there were fireworks again last night and today there is another party in the "plaza" across from our hotel. Think dirt arena with vendors set up around it and really loud techno latin music. These people throw down!
Well, today is Sunday...which means that we've been in room 1157 at the Marriot for 4.5 days. Good news is that we are over the hump and we have only 4 more days here and then we travel home on Thursday (yay!). Tomorrow will be an exciting day. We must meet our translator Oscar in the lobby at 6:30am tomorrow morning. He will then take us to the embassy for our appointment. The embassy agent will interview us, check our papers, and then on tuesday afternoon, issue Aden's Visa. Wednesday we are technically free to go, but there are no flights into Providence that day, so that's why were are here until Thursday. Because we have visited Aden before, he will be an American citizen the minute his little feet touch the tarmac in Charlotte, North Carolina. The newest little american! How cool is that? We will have to spend an extra few minutes in imigration at Charlotte, but everyone we have spoken to says that the agents there are very friendly and welcoming. I sure hope so...because I have had my fill of annoying government types.
Aden's so energetic--a boy through and through. I am not too worried about the plane, though, as he seldom cries. It was relatively affordable to fly first class from Guatemala to Charlotte, so we have lots of extra space and easy access to a lavatory and things like warm water. Baby flies in style!
Lastly, this morning was a big one for chef mommy. i went crazy and mixed oatmeal cereal with a jar of apple banana sauce. He ate 6 oz of food in one sitting. doesn't sound like much, but it filled his little baby bowl. he really liked it. tomorrow we move to peaches and plums. His repetoire is expanding quickly. won't be long before he is ordering the 8 course tasting menu at Gracies. Foie Gras anyone?
We'll let you know how the embassy appointment (and the ride to an fro) goes. I am sure that there will be some wild stories to tell.
One request: Please pray to the television gods that today's CSI episode will be a new one ;-)

good morning sweeties
that is wonderful news, it will be interesting to hear how Aden likes traveling. Aden is showing his interest of worldly events or maybe he already knows the best way to digest the news is to eat it. counting the days, can not wait to meet our little genius.
love hugs and kisses for all

I am reading backwards and am so glad you will be winding your way back first class-what a way to come to America....Charlotte is lucky to have Aden start his American Citzenship there. There should be fireworks there too. Love to you and hugs....
