Who's the Big Boy?!?!




-------"The one that got away" -------
Well ladies and gentlemen, here he is!! Favourite toy in hand. He just needs his smile....the one we are dying to get out of him! Those big brown eyes and full lips and that full head of hair have stolen our hearts. Three days left to make him our own. In the meantime, we are staying busy checking out the markets and our surroundings. We'll come back to this area of Saigon for five days after getting him in Soc Trang, before we depart to Hanoi to finalize his visa. Our hotel is quaint and really clean. The rooms super air conditioned which is needed after walking around. We discovered the really big expensive hotel a few block up the road which we can pay a daily fee and use the gorgeous pool, gym and childrens play room for when we come back. We are saving so much money staying at this little place, so now we can eat out more and spend some money, like the 5 dollars I just spent on cool Ray-Ban sunglasses...(fagheszies), but I swear they look real........ So, we get the best of both worlds now. Great room, and nice hotel ammenities up the road for keeping Zavier entertained. We'll also leave you with some images of the markets...


WE are off to get an iced Vietnamese coffee.....definantely needed today, with this time change...


big hugs!

First of all, Scott, you look great in your new orange sweater. You should cover up your nuts though. Although it does take the attention away from that haircut you gave yourself before you left. You're not going to wear that to the nursery are you?

Interesting idea saving money on the hotel room... Shauna, are you sure you and Christina are friends?

Zavier looks like a little bruiser. We can't wait for you to get home so we can meet him.

Zavier looks much stronger than I thought he would--probably climbed out of bed?!! Beautiful child...I know the smile will come as soon as he is in your arms and out of there. It looks a little uncomfortable, I wouldn't be happy either!! Charly is doing great. We love her..and you guys too!

You now know I figured out how to get onto the blogspot ( spelled correctly?)! Continue to enjoy and fully embrace this experience - how many people get to give birth in such an amzing country country,eh? My time awaits - your time is NOW!!!!

Tons of Love,

Finally am getting with the program. I have been thinking about you all and what you have been doing since last weekend..I kept thinking...they are leaving Monday night. It is fun to see that you are enjoying all that you are doing to "prepare" yet again for your family. Know my thoughts are with the three of you. So smart of you to go early to get aclimated so you won't be SOOO tired when you meet Zavier. Have a good weekend...Tuesday will soon be here! All my best, Devyn
