And the crowd goes wild!

It is official - Trey and I are on big (small?) happy family! Here is how the day played out....

Up early as I was too excited to sleep (Sandy is getting sick of THAT!). We had breakfast at the hotel and left for the care center at 8. We got there and the kids are all playing on the floor - there is a bit pile of toys in the middle and the kids are mostly on their stomachs trying to grab something. They encouraged the 3 families to take their kids outside away from all the excitement. Trey and I walked around the compound for a while then hung out on a bench with one of the other families. It is really pretty there - flowering trees, a playground, a few of the older kids playing around. Trey is very content to hang out as long as someone is holding him (gee, tough job!). Once Trey crashed out we put him in his crib and played with the other kids. Yesterday afternoon I was able to spend time with his nanny and get his schedule, likes, dislikes etc so today we were just able to hang out. After a while most all of the kids were napping so back to the hotel we went.

At the hotel we packed up, big lunch (the food here is incredible! Every meal is a "THIS is my new favorite thing" type experience) and loaded back into the bus to drive over to the Ministry of Justice. It was a pretty amazing ceremony. Each family had their ceremony seperately with 4 representatives from the provincial government. Once we were all officially official we had to hang a bit longer for the paperwork. Then the 3+ hour drive back to Saigon began.

You would think that 3 kids all just tossed in with families and loaded into a bus would be a bit upset. I expected a chaotic ride back! Nope, kids were all perfect and mostly stared out the window in awe.

Now it is getting late. Trey is crashed out on the bed and looking pretty cute. Tomorrow I need to apply for his passport and start our journey home.

I will post some pics tomorrow!
