It's 9:15 a.m. in Vietnam, and the van will be here at 11 with the nannies and the babies. They'll spend a little time with us showing us how to take care of our new children. This is especially important for the little babies who are on formula that no one knows the name of yet, but I've been assured that Loc will eat "everything." I'm hoping his nanny will get me up-to-speed on bedtime and naptime as well as the best ways to comfort him. Yesterday, she was patting his leg, and that seemed to help.
Thao will take the nannies to lunch here at the hotel while we get the kids in their fancy duds for the Giving & Receiving Ceremony. Then we all pile in the van and go down the street to the government office. The G&R is at 2. Then it's back to the hotel for the nannies to say good-bye to the kids. They have taken such great care of our little ones. It's going to be an emotional afternoon.
I want to thank everyone who has commented on the blog -- we love reading your comments and having contact with our friends and family back home. I realized, however, that some of you were having trouble commenting, so I went in and changed the settings to make it easier. So keep the comments coming!
We'll try to post G&R photos this evening (tomorrow morning for you guys).

Well, my very first blog - imagine that! And absolutely no better reason to catch up with the new millenium than to use it to congratulate you and Ray. What an emotional rollercoaster you must be on right now. I am so happy for you, I could just ... uh ... uh. Well, forget that part.
Your writing brings it all so close to us, Bonnie. What a lucky little guy Loc is. He is truly blessed to have become part of your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and wish you a safe, swift journey back home, so we can all spoil him as well. I talked to your mom tonight - she is somewhere above cloud nine!
