travel update #6 - photos!

Okay, I am going to just come out and say it- I don't know when the heck I am going to be able to answer any email. I am SO overwhelmed right now, especially with the possibility of me moving to the new house tomorrow. So I wanted to thank everyone out there that's emailed me with congratulations and love for Cupcake. I've read every email, and formulated a response in my head- I just don't have energy or focus (or time!) to get it all down. I'm really sorry :( The most common email was a request for photos. I put them all up here. I update that page (and my Flickr account) every time Tom sends new photos. However, if you have any questions you still want me to answer, or want me to reply to your earlier email, just drop me another email and I'll get back to you for sure. It will help me if I can sort of file away the last month of email and start fresh. ---------- Talked to Tom this morning (his Sunday night) and today was mostly a day of travel. Today was just a lot more travel- from Long Hai to Hanoi for the final leg of their trip. Tomorrow is a day off, and Tuesday and Wednesday is administrative and government stuff. And then my family returns home! I did find out one cool thing- one of the other adoptive parents on the trip, Sherri, is keeping a WONDERFUL travel journal with details of their trip. So for all the details I haven't been able to provide, please visit Sherri's site. But before you leave- new photos!

First bath!! Dinner Cruise Still irritated...
(Really grumpy after her doctor's visit :( - poor Cupcake!) Long day DUDE
All the new photos (a ton of them) are on Flickr, and for those without a Flickr account, I posted the Vietnam/Cupcake photos here.

Chel,
She is so precious! I love one of the pics where she's being held in front of the movie poster. She's got the same look on her face as the actress on the poster. Who knows, maybe baby Grace is a movie star to be?

I always love to see new pictures of Gracie! Sooo precious!

Don't feel too bad about the email situation. I have 2,816 unread/unanswered emails right now- it is really stressing me out! I guess we'll get to them when we get to them. :)

An 18 pound cupcake- wow! I remember carrying around a 20 pound bag of rice so I would be more prepared for my 21 pound (13 mo) Sophie Lu. I guess the good news about moving and becoming a Mommy at the same time is that all that box carrying will help you prepare! Yes, your back may hurt for the first few weeks, but you'll get used to it. Trust me, I can carry 31 pounds around now with ease!

Counting the days until your baby girl is home with you,
Shana :)
