Fishing boat in Ha Long Bay

Catching up with lots of photos.

Ok Heather, here's your Sarah update. Ba returned to work on the 20th, so he actually has to work for a living again. Sarah has been doing well except for not wanting to take naps since Ba is not at home and she also has taken a disliking to going to bed at night. She seems to be getting quite comfortable with being a part of our family because we have seen a whole other side of her when she gets mad. ;-)

A bee works hard on some of the last flowers of the year.
10/21/08-She loves to make a fashion statement.
Causing trouble at the office. By the way, what are you looking at Sarah?
Ohh, it's Dora.
Everyone at the office was quite taken with Sarah.

10/22/08-Sarah made sure Barbie was nice and cozy.
10/30/08-Sarah tried out her fairy-princess wings and had some fun with Me.













10/31/08-Isaac dressed as an "evil wizard" for Halloween. He received a little help from Me as he applied his makeup at grandma and grandpa's house.
Sarah always has to check out the results after someone takes a photo.

Isaac adds some "blood" for just the right look.
This was about as close as Sarah would get to Isaac at first.
We visited one of two of grandma's sisters who live on the same street as grandma.
We found a scarecrow hiding out in Ba's cousin's car.
The scarecrow's older brother was dressed as an Indian.
11/1/08-Ba took Isaac and Sarah to Cabela's today because he had some gift cards burning a hole in his pocket. This is a flathead catfish in one of the aquariums that I'm sure weighs more than Sarah.

An elk standing in the trout pond. Barry, if you see this before you get back from Colorado, this is what you should be looking for.
A mountain lion takes down a cow elk.
Sarah kept playing with the flap on the box containing Ba's new archery target.
The Hanson buck. The current world's record typical whitetail deer.
The Jordan buck, the world's record prior to the Hanson buck, has quite a tale behind it.
There's animals all over this place.
After Cabela's, we headed to meet Uncle Poobie. He recently had knee surgery, so Ba helped Poobie put a new mineral lick near his stand.
Uncle Poobie with his wife.
Sarah just wouldn't crack a smile when she was sitting next to Poobie's son.

I've spent about 6 years reading adoption websites and blogs, and have seen probably a thousand BEAUTIFUL kids come home from all over the world, but none quite compare to Sarah.
She just shines.
Happy National Adoption Month!

The boys and I love the fairy photos! For some reason, everytime Sam sees photos of Sarah he says, "Ni-Ni love Thanh." Do you think they had a thing going on at TB2?

If you think you're getting any sympathy from me about your having to go back to work, you'll get none from me. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of letting Keith quit his job so I can go back to work :). Just kidding, sort of :).
