A quick update

Well, we did end up getting a new camera, so we're in the process of figuring out how to use it. I think we've gotten some nice pictures so far, but they're not on the computer yet (we got a 4 GB memory card). Raulito took the camera to Texas with him this week, so he should come back an expert. Yep, I am a free woman this week! OK, not really. Raulito left for Austin, TX with a group of Industrial Design students Tuesday morning. I have to admit I almost cried...It's been a while since we have been apart...Meanwhile, I have been looking for babysitters (Thanks to everyone who has been helping out!) so that I can cover some of Raulito's classes. I am especially enjoying his Floral Design class. He has been telling me I should go sometime. It was a lot of fun, and today I got to make a floral design and bring it home! I will post some pics when I get the camera back. Oh, and by the way, a little note on communication. The night before Raulito left, I asked him where the computer cable was for the cell phone. He showed it to me (it also charges the phone). The communication failure was that I neglected to tell him that I wanted that cable for MY phone, because I had packed the other one. Well, he ended up taking both with him...So today I got to go and buy a new charger. I hope I can return it, because my mom is coming this weekend and is going to bring the other one that ended up at her house in Idaho over Christmas... Somehow I don't think we need 4... Funny story, but without a home phone, I kind of need my cell, plus, how would I survive without being able to talk to Raulito for 5 days! Update on Raulito's mom. She had her interview with the Embassy last week. They told her everything looked good EXCEPT, Raulito's birth certificate says he was born at a different hospital than the one he was born in...Don't ask me how they found out. So, we have to get that fixed and she has to go back for another interview (yes, it will cost more money to get another appointment...) So she has been trying to get it fixed, but the hospital doesn't have any records before 77 (he was born in 75..) . So option #2 is to have a DNA test done...YAY! We're still waiting to hear back as to how we have to do that, but we heard from someone that we have to go to the Colombian Embassy here in US (Which is in San Diego). Who knows, we might be doing a quick trip to CA soon! This "quick update" didn't turn out to be as short as I thought, but there it is... I'll get some pictures up soon. Wish me luck until Saturday (Raulito comes back)
