Nathaniel has a passport

A day in Hanoi. Today we went to pick up Nate's passport and then had his SOS appointment. His SOS medical exam was a good deal different than when Tatertot had hers. They were more thorough. Nate weighs just under 19 pounds.

We went shopping this evening. We found some nice shops. This man is a "famous Vietnamese author", according to his grandaughter. He was in a store where we did a some shopping. John and I had a shirt made. The man had picked out a tie for John and gave it to him. Said it was a good tie for him.
These men were playing Vietnames checkers near the red bridge. We crossed the bridge and went into the pagoda. It was the same bridge we went over last night where I saw a rat. Nathaniel really enjoys riding on Papa's shoulders. It is something you don't see in Vietnam. Several people have taken their picture.








Hard to believe we have just a few more days in Vietnam. We saw another family tonight that just returned from Thanh Hoa with their daughter. She is a special little girl and it is good to know she is finally with her family. Hope all the Thanh Hoa families soon have their little ones. As well as all the families waiting to bring their little ones home!!
