Maggie Is 8 Months Old and Getting Big

Dr Hong visited the orhanage this past week.

Maggie continues to be healthy and happy

as you can see by the picture to the right.

Looks like she is discovering her hands.

Baby Shower

My dear friends gave me a baby shower

Friday, March 14th. So much generosity

and warm wishes. Maggie received so many

nice gifts. We also received a shared Mother and

Daughter gift - a porch swing for reading storys.

Thank you everyone!

Maggie Got Her First Tooth

Yesterday the adoptioin agency was pleased to

announce Maggie got her first tooth. The

picture to the right was taken yesterday by

Beth from PLAN. Dr. Hong, the agency's Doctor

visited to orphanage to check on the babies. She

reported that they are all very healthy and

doing just fine.

More Pictures Of Maggie

I found more pictures of Maggie and the orphanage.

It is so comforting to see by the pictures that all the babies

look healthy and well cared for. The inside of the orphanage

appears to be in good order and very clean. It is currently

Vietnam's winter so the babies are all bundled up so to keep

warm.

Maggie looks very healthy and happy. Got to love the

oversized red sweater - Go Wings!

My little munckin!

Alivia Turns 1

On Saturday, February 16th my friend Mary's
Alivia turned 1. Mary and Greg traveled to Vietnam
August, 2007 to finalize their adoption of Alivia.
Mary and I are hoping Maggie and Alivia will
become good play mates.

2007 The Year of The Golden Fire Pig

I found out that last year, 2007 the year Maggie & Maddie were born, was a "special" year to the Vietnamese. It was the year of the Golden Fire Pig which only comes around once in every 600 years. Babies born in that year are said to experience a prosporous and wealthy life. Apparently many people try to have children during a Fire Pig Year because it is so special and rare.
