Happy Easter

Well it is late in the evening on Easter Sunday, and we are wishing we could share it with our dear little Van Lai. It seems that he is all we can think about these days. Wondering how he is doing, what are we missing, and how big he will be when we finally get to bring him home. Aiden is constantly carrying around his picture and says "baby bubba."

It was so nice to get an updated picture and information last week. I wish we could look forward to getting the update every week. It sure makes the wait a little easier. We also received pictures of the orphanage where little Van is staying until he makes it to his forever home (our home). It makes us a little sad to see where he is from, and even more anxious to get him home.

We spoke with a doctor at our church today about the bump on his head, she looked at the pictures and told us that we shouldn't be concerned. She thinks it appears to be a mole or a small hemangeoma. We have also dropped off the pictures at our pediatrician's office to get her take on the bump. Also the orphanage is supposed to be taking him to the doctor to check up on it also. We have become so connected to little Van, at this point I don't think it really matters what the bump is. We will just deal with it, whatever it is.

We still haven't decided on an american name for little Van. So it seems that we may end up keeping his given name. That is the only name that we have agreed on so far.

This week we hope that our dossier will be sent to Vietnam to be translated and sent to the Central Authority.
