Yeah, that's MY baby!

Just another quick note about tonight. The kids have already picked up on so many of our behaviors it is funny. They really are a mirror of who we are! No, we don't look alike, but they are beginning to walk and talk like us!

Tonight, we were at a Mexican Restaurant. I absolutely LOVE queso! So, do the children. We give them each a portion of chips and dip out some of the cheese dip onto a saucer or they share it with one of their sibs. Ben, always makes fun, and even did it tonight about me "hoggin' " the cheese dip and eating it all up! He even tells me sarcastically, that I should just lick the bowl and get it over with...Which I do scrape the bowl, usually! Right after he said that, I had looked away talking with Andrew, Ben called my name, as soon as I looked toward him, Tatiana abruptly put her cheese bowl down! She had began licking it!!! It was funny! That's MY GIRL!!! God sure is the best match maker ever! I love my kids! I love Mami-hood!

Just another quick note. I have been asking Ben for pearl earrings for the past 2 years. So, for this Mother's day, I dropped the hint again! He laughed...I asked the children each if they felt Mami deserved some pearls for Mother's Day (not sure they totally understand what M-Day is), and Diego immediately said "yes!" and still sticks to it! Tatiana and Andrew initially said yes, but Papi convinced them that a few rocks would befit me much more! Ha! As I pointed to my finger (wedding ring), I told Tatiana that "This is a rock, Tatiana, and it is much more expensive than pearls..." then laughed and peered at Ben...and he just said that he was thinking more about the rocks in the front yard! Hmph! Well, Mother's Day should be interesting...hadn't got those pearls in two years, not sure that this year will be any different, BUT I have the best thing ever this year and it's my three beautiful Colombian children, and I don't have to have anything else!

Well, wishing you all many, many smiles...and Hoorah, to those in Colombia adopting! (Adelmans' I have had probs posting comments, but you have a gorgeous girl! Derrs', Jonatan looks like a lot of fun! Boyacheks, can't wait to see you this summer! Hollis' hoping you can come home this week! Yes! Praying for you all!)
