Day 13, headed home

LAST DAY PICTURES

The boys took a long morning nap so I was able to pack our suitcases. I also ventured out all by my big-girl-self. I took a taxi to the luggage district and bought a carry-on suitcase for stuff to precious to check. 

Then all the boys, Chris, Ro, Brandt, Jeremiah and Adam all headed to the US Airforce Museum. They all enjoyed the boytoys personified. 

While the guys were away the girls did play... I gave Melanie a haircut and we shared stories about our lives. When Nehemiah woke up we slathered our kiddos faces with Buttpaste (that's the brand name). They have such bad windburn/chapped faces that we have tried everything but diaper ointment. So far it looks better.


We have spent 2 precious weeks in Vietnam and here are a few of our favorite things...

Adam:
Nehemiah and his motorboat sounds (brrrrrr with his lips)
Sushi with Brandt
Shooting at Chu Chi Tunnels
Moto ride with Minh
Mac and Cheese at Bobby Chinns 
Buying artwork

Natasha: (like x3 of Adam's list : )
Falling head over heels in love with Nehemiah
Visiting the Red Cross Center (orphanage) in Can Tho
Thai massage
Ho Chi Minh shopping, the market and art district
MeKong boatride
Hanging out with the Robbins
Moto ride with Thomas
Dinner in HCMC with the staff
Pictures of the "gates" as Adam calls them (doors/windows)
Walking Hoan Kien Lake 
All the new restaurants and food

Sincerely thank you for following our journey. 
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26

With Love,
The Perryman Family

Can't wait to see you guys and meet lil' Nehemiah. I'm so glad you were consistent at keeping pictures and blogs going. It's been fun to watch the whole "process" from afar.
See you soon and may you have a safe trip back home :)
