Just a little update....


Well everything has been going pretty good over here. Eating good food...meeting great people from all over the world. The kids are having a good time at school and meeting kids in the neighborhood. Natalie is taking Tae Kwon Do classes again. Mr Phuc is a great teacher and he keeps the class in order. If the kids get out of line they have to stand off to the side and do 40 knee jumps! Grey likes to watch the class and pretend he is part of it! He is still too young to take the class for real! Roller blades seem to be popular with the kids here so Natalie had to get a pair. She is pretty good now. The first day of practice, she skated for 5 hours. The next morning when she got out of bed she sat on the floor saying she could not walk because her feet hurt too bad! We told her it was going to be that way but she did not believe us...we are parents, we do not know anything! Grey has been a very picky eater and just recently has started to try new things. We have a star fruit tree outside and he would never try them...then out of the blue, he came up to me with one in his hands and was taking bites out of it like there was no tomorrow! So now he thinks we really are not trying to trick him when we tell him things taste good and he would really like it! I only ask one time if he wants to try and then let him think it was his idea to try it...and Voila!!! Tomorrow they get to dress up like someone they want to be when they grow up. Grey decided he wants to be a rock star. So I will definitely have new pics to post tomorrow! Natalie has to dress as a giant because she is in a play tomorrow! Then....next week we are going on a fabulous trip to North Vietnam. Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Sapa. If anyone knows a thing or 2 about the war that took place here...Hanoi is famous for the prison that was nick named "The Hanoi Hilton" I am excited that we will get to see so much history! SO be on the look out for some spectacular pictures!!!! I also found out today that there is a little trick or treat action that happens in our compound! I am very excited. Still no pumpkins so we will have to get creative with the other fruits that grow here!!! We hope everyone is well and we miss all of you!!!
