Pictures from the day

OK. I can finally post pictures and the blog (for our view) is in English. This is a miracle from God, because I was getting tired of trying to read Vietnamese and remember where to go. These pictures are of our day. Isaac loves to look out the window of our hotel at the city. He is also mesmerized by the TV. We had to take this picture because he just stood there for a long time in a trance. Now, the last one is of Isaac getting shoes at the mall. What an experience. Once we picked out the shoes, ladies came out of the woodwork with a stool and they shoes were on his feet before we could even get the camera out!
We just returned from the US Embassy. We actually rode in the Holt Vietnam van. That was nice. Isaac continues to be amazed while riding. He stood and looked out the front window at all of the traffic. I don't imagine he is going to be a fan of the car seat we have waiting at home.
Our I-600 interview went well. The officer at the embassy asked us questions mostly about the process ofour adoption. Basically, she said, they want to be sure things have been done appropriately. As we were getting ready to leave, she said she would send our paperwork by fax to Ho Chi Minh City and recommend that our adoption go through. Please pray about this, it is one step in the process of getting Isaac's visa so we can come home in a timely manner.
This evening, we are meeting with the travel agent here in Vietnam who lined up our hotel reservations. We must pay up. We are also planning to ask her about some sight-seeing.
We may try to swim in the hotel pool later this evening. We'll post again soon. Pray, pray, pray. God bless.
