Random Thoughts

We had a fun day yesterday. We went back to the Old Quarter and did some shopping and walked around Hoan Kiem Lake. Some of the pictures below are from a few days before when we went to the park for the Tet celebration. That particular day of Tet was for the children. So instead of visiting family and friends, the locals took their children to the park for some fun in the sun.

It was nice to finally go walk around the lake yesterday. We've been wanting to go but Jackson usually dies out before we make it there. We shopped at the shops closest to the lake then visited the Temple. All very interesting. Jackson did really well and didn't cry at all. We went back to Ciao Cafe for lunch. They have good American food there. The first time we went I had a grilled cheese and Brad had a fillet. Yesterday I had chicken and Brad had a cheeseburger. Each time our bill was under $10.00. It's crazy how cheap everything is here.

Jackson is doing good these days. He still wheezes some but Rob, our doctor friend, still attributes it to the air quality here. He's thinking that as soon as we take the babies back to the states that it will clear right up. It's not bad enough to mess with his appitite though. He eats 8 ounces every 3-4 hours. He woke up once last night around 3am for a bottle and is still sleeping as of 8am our time.

Today we are going to pick up the babies' passports and will take them in for their physicals at the SOS Clinic. Our Visa appointment is scheduled for Monday. We are hoping to be able to pick up the Visas on Tuesday afternoon so we can fly out one day early. We'll see how that all works out.
