vietmoms in vietnam

Today two of my good pals, Tricia & Shelley, along with their families, set off for Vietnam to bring home their little dudes. Hooray!

This past Thursday we had our monthly VietMoms dinner and threw a little sending off party in their honor. Here they are with their adorable cake from Blue Cake Company.



Yumm... cake...


And here all all of the VietMoms, minus two lovely ladies that couldn't make it that night. Goodness, there are a bunch of us! Huge congrats to KellyO, one of the absent VietMoms, as she received the coveted I600 approval on Thursday and will be headed to VN in the next week or so. Happy news all around.

348 days

As of tomorrow, Bex has officially been with us longer than he was at the center in Vinh Long. A family of three for 348 days. Day one was monumental, but day 349 is pretty big stuff too. Hopefully my little man feels secure. Hopefully he knows that we will never leave him. Hopefully he understands that he is very much our son and that we are very much his parents. Hopefully he has made peace with the trauma of his transition into our little family. Lofty thoughts for a two-ish year old.
