More Pictures....

I am getting in trouble for not posting more pictures. My apologies....... :) Here are a few from the last week. Things are getting better. She has slept all night the past four nights. Last night she slept 8pm to 8am. Austin came home from OSU this weekend to meet his little sister. It was a great weekend overall as our high school team won easily Friday night, my nephew's team upset the #2 team in the state, my alma mater Oklahoma State beat #3 Missouri on the road (sorry Hank), our in-state rival, Oklahoma went down in flames to the Texas Longhorns, and Emma has been sleeping all night! It doesn't get much better than that for us!

We're Doing Fine....

Other than sleeping issues, like the song Oklahoma!, "We're doing fine". Emma has met so many new family and friends the past few days. We are all worn out! We are trying to get pictures with all of our family members so if you are not on here yet, be patient with us, we're trying :) Things are going great overall, but we are having problems getting her to sleep at night. We think she's still on Vietnam time as we had no problem with sleeping over there. Emma has met most of the Keller and Wells families and many of our friends. She has met Cathy's cheerleaders and today we took her to PCN. It was a very hectic day, but she is sleeping soundly as of right now (knock on wood). Tomorrow is her first trip to her pediatrician, Dr. Parrington. That should be an adventure!

Safe And Sound back In OKC!

32 hours after we left Hanoi, we made it home to OKC. We had an awesome welcome waiting for us as you can see in the photos. The flights were very smooth and Emma was great! She never cried, and slept 8 of the 11 hours on the flight from Tokyo. As I type this, she is still asleep and has been sleeping for 12 hours! It is so awesome to see her finally sleeping in her bed, in her room, in our home! We had a great trip to Vietnam and look forward to taking her back when she is older. We want to extend a special thank you to Alex, Eric, Jack, Joelle, Johanna, and Sam for their friendship. We had so much fun hanging out with you the past two weeks! We also want to thank our children, families and friends for all of their love and support. You have been a big part of this dream. Finally we want a special thank you to Abby and Kelly for all they have done for us! We could not have completed this journey to Vietnam without all of your help! THANK YOU!!! We'll be posting again soon! Love, Thomas, Cathy, & Emma!!!

PS, Oh one more thing. Our PCN Panther Cheer squad won the 5A state championship yesterday in competative cheer! Congrats girls, we are so proud of you and wish we could have been there! We'll see you this week! Love you guys, TK, CK, and EK

FINAL POST FROM VIETNAM

Surprise family and friends! This is our final post from Vietnam! We are coming home early with our little darling! Yesterday, the U.S. Embassy approved her Visa and we picked it up the same day. We are now cleared to leave. Thanks to Abby, we changed our tickets and instead of departing Hanoi Wednesday night, we are leaving tonight, Friday!!! We will arrive in OKC on Saturday! Emma does well with strangers as long as Cathy is close by. We don't want to overwhelm her so we are asking that family only come to the airport Saturday. We are excited to come home, but a little sad as we have had a wonderful experience here in Vietnam. We hope to return one day to show Emma where she was born. We look forward to seeing everyone's face very soon. We have missed you guys and love you very much. We have appreciated all the prayers! Until Saturday, T, C, and Little E.

Ho Chi Minh

Today we visited the museum and mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh. It was very interesting and beautiful. There are two videos below. We always want Emma to love and appreciate her country's history and beauty. T, C, & E

TAKE STATE!!!

Emma says "GO PCN CHEER, TAKE STATE!!!" The girls will be competing for the cheer state championship this Saturday in Norman. Even though we are 9,000 miles away, we are thinking about you girls!!! We miss you!!! TK, CK, and EK
