Another Day of Taking it Easy!!

"There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone's life."
- Sister Mary Rose McGeady


Well, we can’t believe it, but our little guy has been with us for about five days now…We know he does not realize it, but he has changed us for ever..He has brought such joy, love and renewal to our lives, that we are truly the lucky ones in this new relationship. The strength, courage and resilience that he has demonstrated over the past few days, is nothing but a miracle. We are amazed at his ability to deal with such drastic changes in his world.

Today was another day of taking it easy and bonding…We went downtown for shopping and lunch…did some brief exploration, but today it was very hot and humid, so all three of us were a little overheated…Tonight we had dinner at Brother’s CafĂ© /a sort of buffet place that was recommended…Very good variety of Vietnamese food at a reasonable price…All three of us ate well…BTW, little Anthony eats anything…We are so luvky that he eats and sleeps so well!!!

Tomorrow we are taking a day trip to Halong Bay…It has been rated by UNESCO as one of the most beautifull natural wonders of the world…It includes a 4 hour boat tour..We are looking forward to this trip…We will definitely report on that tomorrow!!!

Please find some random pictures below….
