Update
Just posted a few new pics. Things are going considerably better now that we have started cereal. They are eating chicken/soya, vegetables, red rice, and rice cereal so far. Last night was the first "successful" night where we slept longer than 2-3 hour periods. They actually slept for about 8 hours last night and only woke up once for a diaper change.
Wit leaves today (Sunday) to head back to Hong Kong, again. He started feeling terrible last night and seems to have a bad cold, so probably better that he is leaving. I just hope he doesn't leave all of us ill!
We had our 1st visa interview on Friday and all went well. We were asked basic questions about job, home, Hong Kong, etc. We were told nothing about timing, so don't know when we start the "around the world" tour.
We've been venturing out to restaurants more and more. With two babies, we welcome any waitress who wants to hold our babies. However, they always give Audrey back because she is HEAVY! Our guesstimates were acurate. We sort of weighed them and decided Audrey was about 17 lbs and Quynh is about 13 lbs.
We pick up passports and have our medical evaluations on Wednesday and then we wait for the final interview. Hoping it is Thursday, but not banking on it.

Glad to hear things are going well. Bummer that Wit is sick! I hope the next few days go quicly and you can begin your world tour quickly!
sounds like everything is running smoothly.Curious to know how things are going (as far as facilitators, hotel etc...) are you using the hotel OO recomends?
I just looked at recent pictures. It is amazing how much the girs have changed since your fist visit to the orphange. They look so happy and relaxed. Gosh darn they are cute!
We get to Hanoi on Friday morning (Vietnam time) and are staying in the Old Quarter at the Hoa Linh.
I would love to meet you but, really I hope you will already be on your around the world tour!!!!
Listen, I couldn't blow my nose and take care of one baby at the same time. You are amazing! Love, love, love those beautiful girls. Stacey and Bob
Fell better!
Oh my, they are adorable!!!
Ihope you continue to do so well solo ~ You are my hero there!!
I just got back in town and checked your website. Congrats!! You all look so happy in the pictures. What beautiful girls!
The girls are so cute and I agree with Tamara, they look so different now that they are out of the orphanage. It's in their eyes. The look happier, less stressed and content. Ah, a mommy and daddy's love ...
I too am interested in any details about hotel, facilitator, etc. you care to share.
I hope Wit feels better soon and that you and the girls stay healthy.

Congratulations on the arrival of your lovely girls. Good luck with the next few weeks. We are thinking of the four of you. My 3 boys will be looking for dates in 15 years so if you can reserve them a spot in the queue they would be really pleased.
Take care
