Woo and Hoo we got our Plane Tickets!

We got our plane tickets!!!

Todd told me he talked to the head of the Vietnam program and said all the travelers (except us) were trying to fly in on the last day possible (July 8th) and that he was having problems flying them in that day. so would it be possible to delay the G&;R one day so he could fly them in on the 9th?   i wrote Todd back this morning and said, you know we've already been delayed SIX WEEKS, so maybe you can not suggest delaying another day??? pretty please??? i explained our situation and as a dad i think he "felt my pain" (I'm very good at conveying that : ) ) so he called back and said it looks like he can get them in on the 8th and that was what he was working on. so let's all keep our fingers crossed.

Okay on to other Hey I didn't know That fact.  for the longest time i thought our kids had two last names. (like their mom, a non hyphened two last namer) turns out one of those "last names" is really their middle name. According to Todd -- who said he's booked hundreds of flights and has never seen a Vietnamese person with two last names, he said one of those last names is really their middle name. Now i did know it is Vietnamese custom to give a child lots and lots of middle names. So i double checked their Birth Certificate and saw where their dad had the same "middle" name, Muc. Unfortunately there are no commas in their names so it was hard to tell where the last name stopped and the middle named started and which is the first name. So one thing more I learned about our children.
