Step 4: "Seeing Our New World"

I figured it out...it the midst of all the Vietnamese, I found the english button. Thank you for waiting so patiently.

Well it is Midnight here on November 12. Most of you are honoring 11.11.11 as it is only 9 AM California time....(side note...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!)

Oh, where to start. I have to say that I have the most amazing kids in the world. They have rolled with everything that we have had to do. From LONG bus rides, to long days, and no complaining. Poor Cole, I think his face might be close to falling off. Being the red hair, white boy, he draws A LOT (and I mean a lot) of attention and as we walk through a crowd everyone women grabs at his face and rubs his hair. It is in a loving gesture, but can be a little physical at times. Cole just keeps a smile on his face and a look up at me silently screaming HELP!! :)  With Liam, everyone wants to hold him, or play with his hands, or give him kisses. At one point, a sweet lady I let hold him, didnt want to give him back. She insisted I go about my business and that she would watch him for me. Momma bear kicked in a little and was able to 'nicely' get him back. Good times.

I have posted 2 new videos to the blog. The first being the first time that we stepped foot onto our new home as a family, and another being some family fun we had at the local resort that is only 10 min away from the property. Hope you enjoy the videos.

The property is AMAZING!! The video shows a little of how amazing it is, but nothing can compare to the actual view of the land. We were able to sit around the table and eat of the fruit that grows on the land. I have never tasted fruit so sweet and fresh. I crave it!! As Mark and I walked around, we could hear the children running and playing. It felt like home. We are excited to begin the process of getting the homes built on the property.

Well, I would love to write more, but we have an early morning and it has been a long, amazing day that I can’t wait to fill you in on....tomorrow. :)
