Our Adoption Journey

Thursday, January 04, 2007


We had a great day today. Haden was awesome all day, and so was Hanna. She is helping out so much we are very proud of her. She got up in the middle of the night with Dedra last night to help her feed and change him. She also spent time today watching him and playing with him. She is very happy to finally have a little brother.

We are having some health issues with either alergies or some sort of cold. Dedra is coming down with something, and I can feel it creeping up on me also. We need to check to see if Fed Ex delivers to Hanoi. We need airborn!

Please continue to pray for us!

Fedex DOES deliver to Hanoi. It could be there by Jan. 9 for $45. Let me know and I can send it to you.
I don't know if your having trouble loading more pictures because of the internet connection or not but to load more, you load one at a time and load the pictures individually.
When we were in China, I couldn't load more than one picture at a time r/t internet speeds. Doing them individually worked for us.
Hope you are all feeling better soon.
Hanna, Kalliyan said she's glad your having a good time but she REALLY wants you to come home.

Those eyes will just melt your heart. I hate that all of you are getting sick. Maybe things will move along smoothly and all of you can be home soon. We are missing you terribly. Keeping you in our prayers.
Love ya,

Sorry about you all not feeling up to par. I have Airborne and even better if you feel something coming on is Zicam. US Postal Service may Express Mail to there.Any of us would send it to you.
Have you had your meeting at the US Embassy yet? I bet they have lots of US items-ask them what they have access to or could get for you.
Hanna will be such a help with Haden. We cannot wait to see them together. You have 2 beautiful children!
Jennifer has strep throat so we are going to try to keep Kayla tonight to keep them apart for 24 hours...we'll see how that goes. I guess that means life back in NC is going normally.
Love and Godspeed

If uploading pictures is not a problem, you could upload them to walmart.com and then click the “share” button type in a few e-mail addresses then we could all see as many pics as you could provide…we could even order some for ourselves if we wanted to pay the developing….just a thought…love you guys

Dedra if you guys are coming down with something maybe you should start taking the antibiotics you guys got before leaveing home.Maybe this would keep you from coming down with an infection of the sinuses or bronchical.I certinly hope you guys took all of your alergy meds.How is Hanna and Haden feeling? Are they also coming down with the same thing.If all are feeling it,it might be and infection.Please dear LORD don't let them get sick over there.I will keep praying for your health issues as I know everybody will.How is the weather?Have you heard wether or not the flu is over there or not.Now I am really worried about you guys.
Do you have any idea how much longer it might be before everything is finalized?Our new Grandson is BEAUTIFUL as I knew he would be.

Hanna We are so proud of you for being such a wonderful Big Sister.You are going to be such a great help for Daddy and Mommy when you get home.You were such a Big Girl for getting up last night to help.I can't think of any other Big Sister that has done that before.We are so proud of you.I can't wait to come to NC to be with you for a while when you get back.I hope to have a couple of surprises for you when I come.Take care of Daddy,Mommy and Haden and get well. Maybe if you had eaten some of that camel you would be okay.haha I'll not sleep now for worrying about you guys. Keep us posted on you illness.
Maybe it wont be much longer for them to finalize the rest of the process.Grumpy and Meme have called several times to ask about you guys.I am trying to keep everybody her updated as they don't internet or computers.
Love Mom and Poppy

Robert Craymer, you are such a genius. You teach your Mom so many things. Jeff sent 8 pictures to us by email. I just sent them to your walmart and you can pick them up today on your way home from work. They cost 12 cents each and yes, I paid for them. Call me from your cell phone if you have a problem. Love, Mom
