Hi all,
Not to much to report. Julia and I did some more exploring this morning. We visited the oldest temple in Hanoi and then went and saw something called the Memorial House. Our travel guide book described it as "a thoughtfully restored traditional Chinese-style dwelling" worth seeing. These sight were just alright, but served the purpose of getting us out and about doing something.
Tonight we are meeting the other families for supper at a place that serves "street fare" but in a safer fashion. Doug, the kids and I went there last week and it was good. It is a very pretty restaurant.
Doug called this afternoon and they made home safely. Thomas slept about 3 hours the entire 24 hours of traveling. I think they will all sleep well in their own beds in the Minnesota quiet.
Well, Julia cereal snack is gone, so my time is up.

Hi Barbie!
I continue to check in every single day. Thanks to you and Doug for letting us all lurk over your lives as you go through this long but wonderful journey of bringing Julia home. So glad to hear Doug, Thomas, and Helen are home safely. Praying even more for you and Julia to continue to bond and enjoy her birth country, and to get home soon and safe! I'm considering offering a double-red donation from myself at the Hope blood drive in honor of you!
Happy New Year!

Welcome home - to part of the family. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us - so well told! Praying for all of you as you await being reunited! If this adventure doesn't earn one of you something white and shiny and warm I don't know what will..... Happy New Year!
