Hooray for Ho Chi Minh City!!

It is so good to be out of Danang. The G&R was on December 28 and all we have been doing is sitting around the resort. Sandy Beach was really nice and the staff was great. But the weather was terrible. It was too windy to even walk the beach and forget about taking the babies out in that.

Here in HCMC we are withing walking distance of food, shops, you name it. We will also be getting all the babies their physicals and then we have our first INS appointments!!! It is great to feel progress.

Gracie is an absolute joy. I am continually amazed at what a great baby she is. Tonight was here first plan ride and instead of leaving Danang at 6pm, we were delayed until 8:30pm. She slept the entire way, I couldn't even get her to take a bottle during takeoff.

The ride from the hotel to the airport was great. There were lights EVERYWHERE on the drive through town. She couldn't stop staring and she just kept smiling. She is so inquisitive.

I want to go out tomorrow and find her a swing, jumperoo or some other toy for here in the room. She got so bored at the hotel in Danang. She always wants to be doing something. It would be better than me trying to occupy here with the handful of toys that I have.

She is smart, funny, strong, beautiful and loving.
