This week we wrapped up our second trimester of language school. Today we are off to Colorado, where we will enjoy spending some time with Marissa’s family and celebrating the wedding of her sister. We are looking forward to a week back in the US, seeing family and eating Chick-fil-a. When we return, it will be almost time to begin our third and final trimester of language school. According to Avalyn when we finish language school we will know “all of Spanish.” I’m looking forward to that. Yesterday we visited a pediatric ophthalmologist, who informed us that Avalyn’s vision has gotten a little worse, especially in her left eye. She strengthened the prescription in her glasses, and she wants her to wear a patch over her right eye four hours per day. This brings back memories, because I did the same thing when I was her age. I also had two eye surgeries however, and we are praying that she does not have to follow suit. We are again so thankful for the excellent medical care we have enjoyed in Costa Rica. When we return I will post pictures from our trip, and update everyone on the adoption situation (hopefully we have much news to update!). Thanks again for all the calls,    e-mails and prayers.
