I go to pick up his Vietnamese passport tomorrow morning at 10. Wednesday we have his official US immigration Visa medical exam. Friday is our interview at the US Embassy. If all goes as we hope, we will have a US Visa in his passport Friday and we will fly home Sunday as scheduled. If any of the appointments are delayed we'll be fine but we can't wait to come home so he can meet his Oma and Opa and all the people who love him!!
After all the reading and worry about they delays he might face after so many months in an orphanage I just look at him in wonder. I know we will deal with any challenges he may have in the future but for now he is doing so well. He has gotten stronger in just the past week and is standing with confidence when holding on with one hand. He is very alert and curious about everything -- so many things are new. The only thing he really hates so far is bath time....very scary and upsetting for him. And Henry does not hesitate to make his opinions known when he is happy or mad!! He loves to laugh and is so much fun to be with.
My sweet sweet boy.
Standing!
Not sure if he is clapping or immitating Anna...."mwahahaha"
New toy!

This is my second try at leaving a comment tonight.(5 times since the beginning) Hoping this gets to you. We tell everyone about henry, our hairdresser, dad's customers, my dental hygienist, the man on the street. So excited! love, love, love, oma and opa
You posted...well done!!! Can't wait to see you and have you meet your grandson!!! We show him his oma and opa's pictures and he chews your page in the book...I'm certain he is looking forward to drooling on you in person!!! miss you! jjx
Thanks Erin! The wait is by far the hardest part of the process!! Hang in there. Try to imagine when you get the call that you are leaving in 7 days-- what are the 10 things you will be kicking yourself saying "why didn't I do that last month??" (like how to use the video camera, print all the restaurant, shopping and packing suggestions from the PLAN site etc...do you know how many orphange workers there are at your orphanage? I didn't. There are a million things you will need to cram into that last week so maybe try to tick off a few now!! Wish I had! jjx
