Hanging Out


As always posting pictures first. These were taken over the last few days.

This afternoon we walked over to Hoan Kiem Lake. Took a nice stroll and ate at a cafe by the lake. It is much cooler here in Hanoi but the air quality is awful. We were only out for a short time as Bennett is not feeling very well. Little guy has a tooth coming in and a cold.

Today is also our 13th anniversary and we were going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate but decided to order in since the little guy has been cranky today.

We have our embassy appointment Wednesday afternoon and should get Bennett's visa the same day. We are hoping to be able to head home Thursday. Waiting to hear back from the travel agent. Keep your fingers crossed we can come home early.

Happy Anniversary! What great pictures - Bennett is such a gorgeous little guy and you are obviously very happy parents! Sorry to hear about the tooth and the cold. I'll be praying for quick appointments so you can get on the plane for HOME as soon as possible. Thinking of you constantly Julie!!!

I love his glassy curious eyes! The pictures are awesome and all of you are looking so happy!! Hope Bennett feels better soon and can't believe it's about to be over and you'll be home before you know it!

Happy Anniversary!

And - when you get a chance when home to answer - what is the baby carrier that you have? Thanks!

The new pics are great! I love the one of him in the suitcase. We're praying that all goes over the next few days and that you'll be home soon.

Happy Anniversary!!

I'm Julie's sister Jenny.

The carrier is a Mei Tai. It's perfect for a newborn up to a 35 pound 3 year old! I used it for my son when we went to Disney this past summer and he's a big kid!

It's handmade with directions from the internet. It only cost $6 to make it! MUCH cheaper than buying one!

He is so precious Julie! If you used Todd I am sure he will find you flights out! I hope you can come home soon after your Visa Interview! It is so nice to be home & you can settle into your new routine. Congrats again!

Happy Anniversary! I am glad to hear all is going well and you are almost done. The pictures are great. I don't think either parent can smile any wider. That is such a happy sight to see.

Watch out for those teeth. It can be a miserable time and is probably what caused Bennett's cold.
