By the weekend

We are hoping to be home by the weekend. We leave at 1pm with 5 other families for our Embassy appts. We will probably be there a while since we will need to wait on everyone to finish. We have met several other nice families, it helps to have someone to share your joys and frustrations with. Most of the families here have children from the Hanoi area or North, they are so cute. Race is happy he is able to play on the computer a little. Our room was pitch black last night, which was a nice change from seeing and hearing the street lights and noise. We are planning to book our flight today and should know our return date this afternoon. We were told our airline only flies on so many days of the week, but we found out otherwise online, so we'll see what transpires. We are all feeling pretty well. We will probably do a little more roaming of the streets today. The weather is great, we are glad to not be sweating. The people here like to kiss Van on the mouth (gross)! They also like to hold him, which makes me a little nervous, especially when they want to walk out of sight. An older lady on the street wanted to hold him, but I kind of ignored her holding her arms out to him. It was too long and too hard of a journey for someone to run off with him.

Julie...I am with you, kissing a stranger on the mouth...GROSS! I, too, would be afraid of people holding him and walking off...a little strange. We are so glad to hear that things are looking up and you should be at your home sweet home by the weekend. Praise the Lord!
