Things I will miss about Vietnam:
- delicious 30 cents baguettes for lunch
- flowers in December and January
- watching the crazy traffic from the safety of a taxi
- walking along Hanoi's "embassy row"
- delicious breakfast and neat view at the Anise Hotel
- watching people eat meals on the sidewalk
- some very friendly people
- experiencing new things out of my comfort zone
- cyclo rides
- learning about Julia's birth country
Things I won't miss about Vietnam:
- the sewer/fish smell that is prevalent almost everywhere
- people yelling at me because they think that Julia is cold
- crossing the streets
- "squatty" potties
- no highchairs/car seats
- seeing people urinating in the parks
Things I look forward to at home:
- seeing Doug, Thomas and Helen
- being at our house
- hot chocolate at Starbucks
- Target
- snow
- sunny days
- having more than 4 shirts to choose from
- introducing Julia to all of you
Thanks for following us on our journey. We will see you soon!!!

Doug & Barbie, we are so happy for you with this new news! Praise the Lord! We will continue to rejoice with you & pray for you as you, Julia, & the other kids grow together. Say Hi to Terrie. Love you. Jan (& Larry)
Barbie,
Here's hoping that you are either getting ready to board the plane either in Vietnam or Taiwan (?) as you read this...or better yet, home in Minnesota...
Sounds nice, doesn't it? Home.
Love to you both/love to you ALL!!
Cindy
