What?!? No Internet?

I can report that the Blackwell family arrived in the province and met their son for the very first time on Sunday afternoon. Zane was much smaller than expected, wearing 6mth clothing (he'll be 2yrs old in February) and feeling a little under the weather. He warmed up to them quite well and played for a few hours with Chloe in their hotel room. I got the phone call from Vietnam on Sunday morning. That's right, i said phone call. As my phone was ringing, i was staring at it trying to figure out what telemarketer was calling at 8am on a Sunday morning until i realized that all those extra numbers were country codes... it was Vietnam! It was soooo good to talk to my friend so far away, in the land that I dream of nightly. She held our girl, but did say that our Dillen, will be a daddy's girl. She said that she only wanted Daniel to hold her. She constantly reached for him. You can imagine Chris' delight when he heard that. I spent some money on the cutest girly wrap carriers to carry that kid all over Vietnam, and she's going to want Chris the entire trip! I don't think you could give Chris enough money to sling Dillen around his body and pose for a picture (no offense Jodi, but i did pick some girly fabric).

Anyway, we don't have new pictures yet to post, because the Internet was not working in their fancy hotel in Vietnam. $32 dollars a night might get you a VIP suite with a separate family room, extra bathroom and morning breakfast, but no Internet? I know it is killing you all, but soon enough we will post some new pictures... Until then enjoy one of Dillen and Zane from September... Also remember to pray that the Blackwell family has their Giving and Receiving Ceremony very soon!
