The Latest From Hanoi

We had the babies medical today at the SOS Clinic. It is a very nice, modern facility. The staff were genuinely interested in all of the babies and spent time ooohhing and aahing over all of them.

The doctor was a French lady who was easy to talk to and gave the babies a very thorough exam. She seemed to think Arianna was in good health. She is a little on the small side only weighing 12.7lbs. This was no surprise to us as we figured she didn't weigh more than 12lbs.
All in all, things went very well as she got a clean bill of health.

Yesterday we went to the Zoo. It was probably not the best day to go there as it was very cold. We were bundled up in our jackets and the baby was covered from head to toe, but it was still really nippy. The Zoo is a mixture of a county fair with a few small kiddie rides and vendors selling small trinkets. It is surrounded by a lake with spectacular veiws of flowers and beautiful trees. We think it must be the place for young lovers. We saw many couples just hanging out together and stolling hand and hand alone the lakeshore.

We are hoping to here news soon on our second Embassy appointment, but as of now we are content to hang out and enjoy our time here in Hanoi.
