Jackson slept through the night last night. He was tired from the trip to the Mekong Delta and all the hoopla! The first thing this morning, I went with Madame Chau's daugther, Diep (pronounced Deep), to the immigration office. I must be honest that I teared up when she handed me his passport and there was his picture. A little trivia, Vietnam's passports have green covers. The 4 of us took out on a shopping adventure like no other. Our travels took us to sports row, the HCMC post office, 500 or more shops, the Rex Hotel ( many journalists in the Vietnam War stayed here... Anderson Cooper eat your heart out ), the Ben Than market (bickering is allowed), and to Al Fresco's, an Australian based restaraunt. We had smoothies and milkshakes...all is well. We were loaded down after the day's work. Jackson was a trooper and gave his 2 cents worth when needed.
Tonight, he and I watched out our 5th floor window and watched traffic. In a 1 minute time span, we counted 1000 motorscooters (125cc or less), 200 taxies, 8 cars, 25 bicycles, no oxes or asses.
We appreciate all the prayers. We love reading the comments to the blog... so thanks for that. God Bless!

I love the new pictures! We are at work and enjoy seeing all the updates. What wonderful times you are having.
We think of you every day. Your trip is so interesting for all of us and I'm thinking Jackson must be wondering "who are these people, they are wearing me out" How much fun for all of you. We love you.Jim and Bunny
Isn't life wonderful! And now you will get to see it through the eyes of your son. Reading your story each day brings back wonderful memories. I am glad you have taken advantage of the opportunity to see some of the special country which has given you your son! It will always be a special place for your family.
I can't wait everyday to get your messages and pictures. It has been great to share this with you. My favorite picture is still "Mommy & Jackson". Love you all. Sonny, Lori Blake & Bailey
What a beautiful family!
The journey you will take as Jackson's parents will be the most amazing experience of your life.
Blessings to each of you.
I think Shirley is writing math problems that relate to your trip and will be using them in her class.

Becky and I think JAckson is so cute. We can't wait to meet him in person. It all sounds so exciting and this is a great way to tell the story so you don't have to retell it when you get back. Of course we do want to see the thousands of pictures you haven't posted. MAy God continue to bless and watch over you.
