Back in HCMC

We are back in HoChiMinh City. It is the end of the day on Monday, May 26th. Caleb is such a good baby! He slept the whole night through last night and I hope will so the same tonight. Today we went to the Ministry of Justice and signed our papers making him ours. Then we drove 4 hours back to HCMC applied for his passport, and went to the required medical exam. What a full day. Caleb napped for an hour and a half in the van and later we all napped when we checked into out room in HCMC. Henry has been taking good care of us and treating us to us to some amazing fruits. It is peak season for mangos, pineapple, papaya, another fruit called april starfruit? And Henry’s favorite, Stinky fruit! Its smell matches its name perfectly!! Tonight we found a market that was like an American mall and had nice shopping. We finally got our computer connected but now the battery is low so we will have to try pictures tomorrow—sorry. You will love him, he is so smiley and cuddly. We are enjoying him so much.

Cambria and Carisa we hope that you have a wonderful time with Aunt Becky and Grandma Gail. Have a good day in school on Tuesday. Carisa give good smiles for Gretchen!

I love you guys and can't wait to welcome our newest family member.

I really enjoyed my time with the girls today and yesterday. I got to French braid their hair several times :) I was glad to have them all to myself for those few minutes.

We took them out for rides on the quads. We had lots of fun.

I don't know if this link will work, but here is a picture of all the cousin's camping.
