no nap for me, thank you very much

About the wooly hiney…you must not know Tricia very well…..okay, okay, I’m just kidding and you’re right! I should never joke around when it comes to a girl's hiney (wooly or not….ha ha.)

Things are still ahead of schedule. We were notified that our request for the Hanoi interview on Monday was approved. What this means is if all systems stay up and running we should have Lucy’s VISA on Tuesday, which means we can travel home after that. We shall see…….

On the other hand, we could just stay here in Vietnam…… Runaway! Runaway!

On a Lucy note: She is a pro at staying awake. I remember how Austin fought sleep and how Cooper fought sleep, but Lucy….she’s a champ! I can’t help but wonder if her formula is caffeinated. Nothing keeps you up like a good cup of Joe! Speaking of Java, Vietnamese coffee is really good.

While the husbands were off paying for airline tickets to Hanoi, Tricia took Lucy out this morning for her first shopping trip. She, Lucy, came home with a cool new sun hat and a “Nuk” string. The “Nuk” string will prove to be a lifesaver, since Lucy is a thumb sucker. You see over here, thumb sucking is a bad thing and strangers of all kinds will come by, remove her thumb, tell us not to let her do that, and then they stroll off leaving Lucy upset and her parents in a confused state of mind. The “Nuk” is the key to success (and less shame) and the “Nuk” string….well it’s a little tool from paradise.
We'll see what tomorrow brings!
Peace, Kirk

She is so beautiful! Welcome Lucy. Austin and Cooper are going to be the greatest brothers you could ever want...and I am a little partial to your mom and dad. I bless you! Love Mo
