Maggie and me - our first Mother's Day

Wow! I checked my emails this morning and was
so pleased to find one from the US Embassy in
Vietnam telling me I have been approved to
travel. I will be leaving the US on May 8th
arriving in Hanoi on May 10th. May 11th,
Mother's Day, I will travel to the orphange
to get Maggie. How special is that!
I will be in country for two weeks and will
be sure to post on my blog during that time.

Maggie's Dog Cole

This is Cole, Maggie's new dog.
He is a 80 pound huskey-
golden retriever mix. He is sitting
on our new porch swing.

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!
