Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

Sep 11, 2008

Too much fun for a day!!!








We have been on the go and BUSY! Having so much fun with Halle-Grace.

Today, we picked up her Vietnamese passport, played with nanny, went to the water puppet show and now we don't want to go to sleep!!!

Aunt Suzie just called and talked to us and heard Miss Halle-Grace entertaining everyone! Hannah, we want you to know that Halle-Grace LOVED her "gabby" dog and purse! Aunt Suzie, she loved the books and Granny...the sleepers were just about perfect...a little big but everything is big on the tiny miracle! Granny and Kay Kay we can't wait for you to meet Halle-Grace! We miss you all!!!

We finally have a family photo together. Nanny took it for us at the water puppet show. We will have one made without mommy in a hat...later.

When we returned to the Somerset tonight the staff had surprised us with beautiful flowers and decorated Halle-Grace's high chair for the Mid-Autumn Festival that is kicking off!!! Hanoi is VERY busy!

And finally, Jason bought Halle-Grace's wedding gift tonight and I cried!!! I think the lady in the store thought I was upset that I was not getting the price I wanted on some other gifts...LOL...nanny was too busy looking at handbags *imagine that*

A full day...tomorrow, we are not looking forward to as Jason leaves for the US, however, we must move closer and closer to the day Halle-Grace and I will arrive on US soil!!! PLEASE PRAY THAT IS SOON, VERY SOON!

We love you all! Granny...thank you SO much for taking care of our Gabby girl!! We miss her!

Glad to see you all having so much fun. Enjoy the time while you are there. It is an awesome opportunity to get be in another country, and you are making memories that you can talk about for a lifetime.
Thanks for the photo of the three of you.
Wish Jason could stay with you, but like you said, the day is getting closer for you all to be together here, and that means too, that I can see and hold Halle-Grace.
I love you all
Granny, Mom, Judy

Hannah fell and hit her head at school today and wasn't feeling too good. I let her come to my room and look at the picture of Halle-Grace smiling sooo big at the "Gabby" dog. That made her feel better just seeing how much Halle-Grace liked her surprise. We loved seeing you all together! You are a beautiful family!!!
WE LOVE YOU!

We're thrilled that you're having so much fun in Hanoi! It looks like you'll be home very, very soon! We're praying on that one.

Love the family picture!! And there are places to shop for handbags in Hanoi? Make sure you tell me where, I don't want to miss that when I get there. :)

Hopefully Mer will arrive soon and the hens can have a mini-gathering. :)

And of course, praying that the rebuttals go in and are quickly approved!!!

We are saying our prayers daily. It sounds like one more step closer to Halle-Grace being home. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful pictures. They are amazing! We are so happy for all of you. We are also so happy to see that Wanda made it to Halle-Grace safe and sound.
