Hey all.  What a great day.  We are back at our hotel in Hanoi and we are beat.  I'll keep this short and just post a bunch of pics.  The tour of Halong Bay was well worth the 4 hour one way commute.  Anelise was fussy a few times during the trip there and back but it was no big deal.  When we arrived at the bay, our guide had arranged our own private boat tour complete with lunch, a stop at one of the islands with lots of caves and a tour of the many rock formations.  Tomorrow, we are going to hang out in Hanoi and just take it easy.  Maybe a museum or gallery and some shopping.  I'll post more info then.  Until then, from half way around the world we send you our love.

Hello from the 'hood!
We saw Lan's sister and Noah at Holiday Junction this morning. I am SO glad. I thought you were leaving on the 15th, not the 5th. Tonight we caught up on all of the entries and the pictures.

Anelise is adorable and it's obvious was always planned to be your little girl. Harrison makes a great big brother. You guys look so happy, and we are so happy for you.

We pray that the rest of the trip goes smoothly (especially the long trip home with a baby) and give us a call and you can go through our baby stuff and see what you might need! And of course we can come and watch her for you. :)

Love,
Jeff, Natalie and Colin
P.S. You're not missing much in the neighborhood. The people on State Road didn't put up the big light display. Do make sure you get your Awaited tickets if you make it back in time! :)
