We miss Vietnam so much & look forward to the day we return as a family. Just looking at some of these pictures have brought back so many memories of our time spent there. We were blessed with three wonderful weeks in Vietnam, but long for more. I am forever grateful to Owen's nanny for taking such great care of him the first few months he was in the orphanage. Even though we think of Owen's birth family often, we think of them more on days like today. We are truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to parent such a fabulous son, & couldn't ask for more.

Our day started out with Owen having his second swim class. He is really doing well & he loves it. There are photo restrictions at the pool, so unfortunately we don't have any pictures to share. Later in the afternoon we went to the zoo. Had a great time getting outside, even though lots of the animals are not on display in the winter.



After the zoo, we stopped at a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. Owen ate a huge amount of pho soup & some of a vermicelli bowl. He loves vietnamese food & we need to make an effort to eat more of it.


Happy 2nd forever family day Owen!

4th Wedding Anniversary

Wow four years already and what an exciting four years they have been! I wonder what fun things are to come in the next few years? I am so lucky to have married a man that has so much love for his family, a man that was excited to start our family through adoption with adopting Owen, & then excited to experience the birth of our second son, Noah. We have done so much in the past four years, while I expect the next couple of years to be slower paced, I'm sure we will experience many exciting times raising our kids together. I look forward to what is to come!
