It’s Kirk again and thanks for the Kudos.
The night went well. Lucy loved the softness of the bed comforter and the carpet for that matter. She woke up around 1:30 for a bottle and then she played for a short while before falling back to sleep. The funniest thing is that Lucy, in her sleep, patted Tricia’s face most of the night and even at times took a death grip hold on her nose. Lucy is testing her mother out to see if she’s a keeper.
Prior to bed Lucy got her first bath, or a least her first bath with Tricia. I was out of the room at that point, but Tricia said Lucy loved her bath and that they had a great time. This morning we had breakfast and Lucy had to take her “cocktail” meds for her lungs. We have to crush up all these pills and we felt like an apothecary. Before getting on the bus for the 6 hour ride back to Ho Chi Minh City, Cooper was able to see his sister via webcam. He was very excited, as were we. We were also able to SKYPE OUT some phone calls to Lucy’s grandparents. (we had problems with this a first, but SKYPE got us straightened out after a few emails of un-satisfaction)
The ride back went much faster than the ride there. The babies kept us entertained. We stopped again for lunch….I highly recommend the spring roles, however since skipping a meal the day before I could have used a double order.
Tomorrow at 8:00 in the morning the dads go off on their own to celebrate with shots. We decided that it would be evening if we were back home, so why not celebrate with some shots! Okay no shots, but the dads do have to go off to sign some papers somewhere and to pay $200,000 Dong. The Dong spends much faster the dollar. Yesterday we were Dong millionaires and today, well…….in other words, yesterday we had BIG Dong and today, not so much.
We will be staying here at the REX Hotel for the next week. We’ll leave for Hanoi on August 28th.

Lucy is beautiful! I love the hair. Keep the pictures coming. :)
It's wonderful to share your journey to Vietnam. One day Lucy will understand how her brothers, family & friends were able to be part of her journey into the Kirk Woodliff family. The phone call was great, but seeing her in Tricia's arms makes this all so real! We're anxious to have her in our arms, too. Our prayers are with you. Love, Gram & Papa
Vy is beautiful! I am enjoying the blogs and the pictures. Congratulations on your new baby!!
Hi y'all,
It was fun seeing you tonight...even though you couldn't hear us, we could hear you pretty well.
Cooper read a couple of stories from his school book this evening and he is reading well.
We ate at China King to show a certain solidarity with you.
You guys look great! Can't wait to see you all in person. Pam & Phil
