So Much Fun!

Austin is growing so much. Each day he gets a little more comfortable. Early in the week, he would only relax and smile in the room. Now he opens up in the hallways, will smile at other people and really is showing who he is. We've been telling others that he's all boy and very friendly. Yesterday was the first time that he really smiled at someone else. This morning, we were off to the zoo and he was running in the hallway with me right behind. He rounded the corner, saw a friend and had a big laugh. Now his secret personality is out.

He really liked the zoo. This was our second trip and once again we got rained on. This rain was not too bad, so we perservered. They were having an elephant show and Austin was awed!!!

The food here is very good, even for Kim. I've tried several new dishes - all involving rice. I've had rice with chicken, rice with shrimp, rice with beef, rice with vegatables, rice with egg, rice with rice... I feel like Bubba in Forrest Gump!!

Last night we ate in a trendy restaurant that had very good cheese pizza. Today, we are going to a Pizza Hut. Oh the excitement!!

Yesterday, we went to the Vietnam War Tunnels. Amazing! The history and heritage in this city is so strong with so much to learn.

Tonight we are off to Hanoi. Will be glad to get there and get settled in. This will complete another milestone in the process.

Miss you all,

B & K

Loved the pictures. What is the deal with Austin's t-shirt. That is almost false advertising. Taking advantage of a little boy like that. (ha@ha!) I forwarded them on to Bob. Kim check your kcgirl e-mail. I sent you Bob and Carrie's email addresses. Yea Hanoi. Getting closer to home. You don't know how bad I wish you had a lay over at KCI. We would be there to greet you. I am so glad to hear that the little man is adjusting well and things are going well for you. Love ya, Aunt Ginny
