Yes - it's me - back among the living! So delayed in posting updates to the blog and I know that many are emailing seeking news...
Here's some pictures of the first day home meeting Daddy, Big Brother, Aunt & Uncle, etc. I'm going to get caught up posting additional pictures from Vietnam and since we've been home this week - promise!
It's been 2 weeks since we've been home and believe it or not, I'm back at work this week! With Doug recovering from surgery, I had to get back to work at least for part of the days. I'm working a modified schedule now that allows me time to spend with Mia and with our son Bradley.
Mia is great - finally sleeping thru the night - a big hooray on this! And, just in time for me to get back to work...
She's a big eater and loves all the baby food we can put in front of her. She now sits up very well and is making all sorts of new baby noises. It's so funny to see that her baby sounds were so different as they were Vietnamese sounds and now she's learning English baby sounds - she's got an interesting blends of sounds right now!
On the Bac Ninh front, there are a few families about to be matched with babies from our orphanage and we just can't wait to hear of their good news! There's also been a Yahoo site created for our province and it's been great to email others both in the US and in Ireland who have babies from the Bac Ninh orphanage.
More later on the blog...

First, congratulaitons! how are you all doing? i hope your adjustmet it going well... all around.
Now, jsut curious about something -- I noticed on your website from jan 2007 a picture of the orphanage and 3 little girls hanging on the fence. I know those girls and their moms!!- just curious how you got that picture because we had already been to Ban-ninh and back home in jan 2007?
ps - did you see the negative press about adoptions in VN yesterday? unfortunately, our orphanage in bac-ninh is pictured - see msn.com.
my very best to you all, anne & james sellinger in new jersey.
