It's Official

Hi everyone!!!

Sorry about my last post! I was having a pity party!!!!

Yesterday we had a fabulous day! Our facilitator took us out to the Mekong Delta. It was absolutely incredible. If you are coming to Ho Chi Minh City you have to make time to see the Mekong delta!! I was worried about how Brenden would do since he has not been feeling very well, but he did great! It is very shaded throughout the Delta - so he didn't get very hot. If you go to the Delta - don't eat before you go because you stop for food the whole time - I must recomend the coconut candy!!! I am not a fan of coconut - but the candy is great!!! We took lots of photos and recorded about an hour of the trip - so guess what family?? You get to sit through some very exciting home movies!!!

Brenden slept great last night - 11 hours!!! He seems to be feeling better today - however the bumps on his face are not getting any better - so we are going to take him to the American Hospital today so they can look at them. I don't want it to scar his face.

So today we finally got the call to go to the Justice for the Giving and Receiving Ceremony!!!! I still wasn't sure the orphanage director was going to show up - but she eventually did. I was so thrilled to see her. We waited a few minutes and then they called us back for the Ceremony. Brenden had just woken up from a short nap - so he was in a great mood! He just laughed and giggled through the whole thing!! We took video of that too!

What a relief to have that done!! Now we wait on the passport and our first CIS interview. We still have plans to go to Hanoi on the 2oth - so lets hope it all gets done by then!

Thank you to all those who have been praying for us during this time - we are feeling MUCH better!!!!
