Today was a great day! We woke up early and the men went off to work on visa stuff and the women took the kiddos to have health exams. All the children were healthy. Annie was slightly malnourished and Ro had to have blood taken which was traumatic for both mommy and son. But overall the Dr. gave them all a good report.
Nehemiah has been perfect. No tears today except when he fell off a pillow and hit his head on the corner of the nightstand.
He slept over 12 hours last night and took two great naps today. He seems to be a sleeper right now, I am sure so many changes makes a little one tuckered out.
He is a thumb sucker for sure. Every time we look over he is trying to get that thumb in his mouth. We are trying to replace the thumb with a passy. My favorite moment of the day was when I caught him creatively finding a way to suck his thumb... here he is holding the passy, with his thumb through the passy ring.
Can't resist that precious face, kissably delicious.
We had a wonderful lunch today at a nearby hotel. They had Italian food, I ordered the best lasagna with steamed veggies. Its amazing what a good meal can do for you.

We were walking back to our hotel after lunch and I stopped to look at something in a window but Adam didn't know so he kept walking. He got about a half a street ahead of me so I took off to catch up. These two ladies walking towards me stopped all of a sudden, turned around and started following Adam. They pulled out their cameras to take pictures of this strange white creature holding a baby in a sling. Little did they know I took their picture taking his picture and could not contain my laughter.
We had dinner with the Dillon staff tonight, Thomas, Phoung, Trinh and Minh. Along with the three families here and their new additions. We are beyond thankful for their help, coordination and translations for us. They are a blessing to Dillon families. We have been here over a week and have had about 4 really really good meals and two of them were today! Our stomachs and taste-buds were spoiled by this authentic Vietnamese meal.
Adam got to have his turn on Mr. Minh's bike. He said it was "good times."
Avi Joy:
She is doing great! She enjoyed staying with her NanNa and is now staying at our house with her Aunt Shannon. She has been to church, school, made crafts and even asked for Subway! : ) She is getting all the love and attention she needs and we are so thankful. She is such a dollbaby and we look forward to seeing our family together!
Here she is dancing at my friends wedding reception.

Natasha,
We thought the hackysack tournaments at sunrise were very cool to watch. We did videotape the tail end of one. by the time Chad came back down with the camera only 6 people or so were left. So funny! Hacksack in the middle of the street!

It was great to talk to you last night and see Nehemiah on the webcam. We are looking forward to having Avi Joy next week. Enjoy your last days in HCMC. Talk to you soon.
Hi, I would love to see all the pictures, but the computer is saying something not found. My mom is getting the same thing. Hope it can be fixed for us.
Nehemiah is so sweet and cute, love him to pieces.

Good luck with the thumb-sucking. We tried to stop Mase, but his love for the thumb overcame our persistent attempts. Maybe you'll have better luck!
You all look so happy!
I've been stopping by to watch your progress!! I'm so excited and can't wait to meet your newest blessing!
Hugs!

I had a blast with your daughter at my reception. She's quite the dancer...I wonder where she got that from. Oh...you and Adam look like pro's. Congrats and I can't wait to hold him.
We are so excited for you guys. We can't wait to meet little Nehemiah. He is such a cutie. Be careful and have fun! We are praying for you.
We are enjoying following your progress on this journey. We realized that your giving and receiving ceremony was on our Wedding anniversary. Nehemiah is very creative with the thumb sucking/passy usage. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and we can't wait to meet him.
