A Saturday afternoon outing to Locust Grove.

Happy Adoption Day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today is the 4th anniversary of Van's adoption. We celebrated tonight by having: Pho, watermelon juice, choco pies, lychee jelly and dragon fruit. Well, the watermelon juice just wasn't the same, sorry Dole, but the juice in Vietnam was the real thing. These are a few things that we had in Vietnam that we were able to find at our local Vietnamese Store and Valumarket.

After supper we watched Van's adoption video. The kids have grown so much in 4 years.

We are excited about our second adoption journey, which hopefully will move to the next step soon.

 

 

Van picked this flower from our garden this morning.

Van and I were getting ready for a walk and as I was headed out the door, I said, "I need to get my phone," then Van says, "I've got mine." He is a funny boy, he cried because he had to nap in Josie's bed. Do you know why he cried? Because he didn't want to sleep in a bed that had a pink bedspread and purple sheets on it.

 

 

It's been a nice week with the cooler weather, we've been enjoying leaving the windows open.

School is going well for both of the boys.

Adoption Update: We found out that our dossier is soon to be on it's way to Ethiopia for translation. We will not be able to get a court date until the courts reopen, I believe they reopen mid October.

 

This was taken at his birthday party.
