Hi Everyone!
It is midnight here and I am SO tired! I feel asleep while Todd was downloading the pictures and then he had to drag me out of bed to write this. Forgive me if I don't sound very coherent :)
We saw Isabella again today! We drove 3 hours to Lang Son, went back to the orphanage, and held/played with her for about 45 minutes. I got to give her a bottle, change her clothes, and Todd rocked her to sleep :) Her hair was sticking straight up:) Her nanny wanted a picture taken with her and started to cry when she explained that she has taken care of Isabella since day 1. We have to go and find some place in Hanoi that will develop digital photos so she has a copy of the picture.
We had the big meeting with the head of the adoption office in Lang Son. She was very nice but stern. All the papers are done and now we wait until the Giving and Receiving Ceremony. It should be on Monday but may not be scheduled until Tuesday. Our INS (Immigration) meeting is for Wednesday and that will determine if we can come home at the end of next week or the week after. Everything changes around here at the last minute so we are trying to go with the flow.
Tomorrow we are going to sleep in and venture out into Hanoi by ourselves. I'll email again when I have more news :)
Take care...we miss all of you!
Love,
Catherine and Todd
