Going to the Notaria (Notary) today was very interesting! We got there a bit early with our attorney so we waited for our translator to come. As we sat in this small office for 45 minutes at least 100 people came in and out. It was crazy! The employees were running around too - and I mean running around! You have to pay for the notary also and only attorneys can be one. Very different from the U.S. Hayden made a comment about the employees running around and we found out that they are paid by transaction not hourly. This is a busy office as it is by Congress and the court house. It was quite uneventful otherwise. We showed our passports, they created a document, the translator read it to us, we signed and payed and that was it!! Now our attorney will get Danni's original birth certificate and have a new one created with us listed as his parents. They told us that the Civil Registry is an hour away and it takes a long time to sit and wait so the attorney does it alone - that is why we did the power of attorney with her. She will go as soon as we get the judges order which unfortunately we did not get today. We were told again today that they were expecting it today but we heard nothing. Tomorrow I will email our other attorney and see what is going on. We are really only at day 10 of our 15 day wait so the judge still has time. It just would be nice to get it early so that we all can travel home together in 2 weeks. So keep the prayers going!!! :)
The notaria took up the entire morning and the Spanish/English tutor was coming at 2:15 PM so we stayed home today. Michelle stayed with the kids while we went down town which was awesome! Emma would of been a mess having to sit for 45 minutes doing nothing! The kids played outside for a long time. Danni or Mr. Bubbles got his fill of chasing bubbles!! Michelle got a ton of great photos - a few I am sharing. She loves to takes pictures and has an awesome camera!
We are going to visit a few museums tomorrow - something none of us have done yet. There are lots to visit. Buneos Noches! Mari
PS....Hayden wanted me to add that he is the most handsome man in the world! Just thought I would give ya all a good laugh!!!!!!!! :)
