All Quiet on the South East Asian Front


No news on the Visa...one of the other families that just adopted from the same orphanage emailed Senator Norm Coleman's office yesterday to see if they could make any difference. It is so hard not to hear any news of any sort and not know at all whether or not things are moving forward.


Jonah continues to have night terrors. He thrashes around and screams for about 5 minutes a couple times a night. We have been able to comfort him, but there does not seem to be any way to prevent it.


He is using sign language to say "please" now and is obsessed with fans. I am pretty sure that is going to be his first English word...maybe even before Mom.

The big development here is that Olivia swam almost the length of the pool by herself. With all the time that we have had to swim in the pool, she has made some great improvements swimming.

I am not sure if I mentioned that I have not been able to view my my blog from here. I can post, but I cannot go in and look at the actual blog or read comments. Actually, I cannot access any blog sites here in Mui Ne.

I hope everyone is staying warm back home, we miss you all.

As I was using up hotel shampoo last night (I can't remember the last time I actually bought shampoo!) I thought of you guys. I'll bet you have that suitcase of orphanage gifts nearly full of all those little bottles that you actually have to read to determine the difference between shampoo, lotion, and mouthwash. Now you too can join the "free" shampoo club. Hope you are well - and surviving extended vacation in a tropical place over Christmas. We will continue to pray for the visa. Maybe Norm will come through. We know our Lord will come through! Take care!
