VN Pottery + Passport + Medical...Home soon????

Sunday we visited a local pottery village. It was lots of fun and we purchased many things. Christmas is coming so we're not going to tell you Alex and Margaret! Some of the pots were bigger than Billy and if we sawed off the top he could have fit in them.



We saw some pottery that we could have painted ourselves, but it would have taken to long to get it done so we decided to skip that.



On the way we passed this bridge in progress. This one's for you Grandpa

Yesterday we went to go get Gracie's passport. When Thuong picked us up she already had the passport and told us we were able to get Gracie's medical exam completed yesterday. On the way we passed the hospital in which Gracie was born.



When we got to the international medical facility we learned that Gracie was 24lbs and 33 inches.



Finally, a delightful French (we think) Dr. very patiently and kindly examined our little girl.



We're expecting to get her visa today. After that we'll try to push our airline reservations up. We figure Friday is the earliest we'll make it home.
Here are more pictures of Gracie in the hotel which she now views as home.














Coveting your prayers as we go to the embassy this afternoon for her visa.
