Lots of girls...

I was just thinking about our travel group that is leaving this week for Vietnam. We are all adopting girls. One family is adopting a 4 yr old beautiful little girl, Meg is 5 months, Renny's daughter is 11 months and the other couple are adopting twin girls that are 4 months. They all are from Vung Tau and will share that common bond. I hope they can all become and remain friends through the years!

We are meeting up with one other couple that is already in Vietnam that is adopting a baby boy - lucky him... he'll be surrounded by a whole bunch of girls :) I'm guessing this won't really phase him at this age but perhaps another decade from now he might enjoy a get together with his 'travel mates'.

Today we are meeting up with sweet Sadie and her mom and Dad - we are going to a chinese buffet for lunch... to follow the tradition we started last year when they were leaving in a week to go get their beautiful Sadie. Now Sadie is 2 years old and my children can't get enough of her. They cannot wait to see her today and play with her at a park after lunch!

Other than that... packing is still happening. We figured out Skype and have that all ready to go. We are making our playlists for our Ip*ds and picking out which reading material to take for the flight.

I am nervous about the long flight. I don't fly well, I get antsy and fidgety after a couple of hours... how will I ever manage the longest leg (which is 15.5 hrs)? Sleeping aids, earplugs and a sleeping mask will hopefully help me pass the time!
