Gotcha!

Our meeting with the kids was fantastic! We met with the people who have been working with them - you can tell they really love these kids. We talked for about 40 minutes, asking questions and talking about all the details. Finally, some lady came in and said, "we have to stop, the kids want to meet you." Right after that, the door flew open and there stood Nicolas, a big cheesey grin on his face and he said, "Me papi!" and started hugging and kissing me. Diana was right behind him with the same. The kids are very happy and excited. They are also qite a handful - they are bossy and very active.
We went swimming last night, and afterwards ate supper. They were tired early and wanted to go to bed. Nicolas had told me at the meeting that he might be afraid to sleep by himself - they decided to push the beds together and all of us sleep together. It was quite interesting. Nicolas had to have me right in front of him and he would hug and kiss me until he fell asleep.
We had to have a 2 a.m. change of clothes (too much water at supper)and then they went back to sleep. Mary and I stayed up and tallked most of the night. We were up at 6:30 and I went to get them breakfast. These kids eat like a horse! I will go broke trying to feed Nicolas.
