Keith, Sharon, Luke, Adam and Matthew,
Congratulations on bringing Anna home - FOREVER. What a great feeling to have a daughter and 3 sons. Boys, you now have a little sister to look after and you will have to be very gentle with her. I can't imagine how excited all of you are and how happy you will be when you see Sharon and Anna getting off the airplane. We will all give a sigh of relief to have Sharon and Anna back in the states. Wish we could be there to share in your joy and excitement, but, since we can't I am glad your friends will be there to help you celebrate.
Can't wait to see all of you. Congratulations.
Love to all of you. Cheri

Dear Sharon,
Obviously my spelling is not very good at 1:30 in the morning! Could you please find out from Nicey and the girls what kind of cornmeal they use to make the empanada shells? I brought back the recipe and I'm having trouble making them with our fine cornmeal. Thank you!

I'll never be able to express how glad I am that you were both not kidnapped while visiting Columbia. The thought of handling 6 children under age 8 with only 2 parents - yeeks!!!!!!

Have a safe trip home. We hope that you are both feeling better. Bob & Lisa really enjoyed the pictures of Ian and Elizabeth. Glad we were able to be there to share the moment with them.

Greetings Keith and Sharon,
Congratulations on your beautiful new daughter Anna. We enjoyed seeing the new closeup pictures of her today-she looks so sweet. Sounds like you are exploring Bogota and taking in all the sights. The view from Montserrate was spectacular-you can't completely appreciate the size of Bogota until you are on the top of the mountain overlooking the city. Stay safe, enjoy the empanadas, and watch out for the traffic!

Sharon and Keith,
Well, I finally got a few minutes to check-out this web-site. This is so neat! Your little girl is beautiful! I think the only thing that could possibly make this any better is if all of your family and friends could be with you to share in your joy. It sounds like you're enjoying yourselves, if nothing else enjoy the nice WARM weather you have because today we have a wind chill of negative 15 degrees in Pittsburgh. Bill and Tom have been great for me and enjoyed sleeping over while Pat was in Harrisburg. Congratulations!
Kathy

Dear Keith and Sharon,
The pictures are great!!! She is a beautiful baby and you look so happy. It sounds that you are having a great time. So have you rode in Jorge's "Green Machine" yet, as Jim called it? He is a great tour guide and he has some really nice soccer items that he sells. Please tell Annette, Betty, and Jorge that we say hello. Please give the Kowals our best and congratulate them on receiving Andrew. We do not have their website. Take care and have
a safe flight back home on Saturday.
PS. We went to Buffalo today and the high was 9 degrees and much less with the wind chill. You are soooo lucky to be missing this arctic blast!!!!!!!!!!
