Hello!
Today's big news is that Emily is officially a Canadian! Yay! We went to the embassy this morning to pick up her temporary Canadian Passport. We are done with the paperwork and can enjoy a few more days of tootling about before we head home. We want to see a few more sights around town and just take in the exciting atmosphere as everyone prepares for Tet. As we may have mentioned before it's like rolling your birthday, Christmas and New Year's together, the city is buzzing with people and the mood is great!
It's late so I put in a few snaps of the past few days, we've had some nice meals out with the other couples, some sightseeing, (notice the pagoda of coke cans ... this especially excited the grocer boy!). Emily is getting used to cabs and the honking horns (which never stop - won't miss that).
She's been a great little baby, luckily she's cute cuz yesterday she threw up her entire bottle twice on Mum! I just hope she doesn't pull that stunt on the plane ride home... it's not pretty. As a result we've managed to keep the laundry service fully employed. I had forgotten that feeling of shock that hits when you realize you've just been completely covered in ... formula!
Hope everyone is well, thanks always for the comments, we have fun reading those! Can't wait to be back home and sharing Emily with everyone!
Love Ruth
Congrats to you all eh? :)

ReplyDeleteHello McDonald family!
ReplyDeleteGreat news with the passport.
One step closer to coming home.
Cannot wait to squeeze those wee cheeks!!
Although I will check to see if a bottle was just placed on board before the squeeze.
My dear Ruthie get used to the ode of formula it is a wonderful fragrance which only seems to be available at the most inconvienient times.
Loving the last picture of you and Emily!!

Hi Darcy and GIRLS
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to know that Emily's officially a Canuck. She is a very welcome addition.
She just keeps getting cuter, if that's possible.
Enjoy your last few days in Hanoi, and travel safe.
Love to all

Yeah congrats on the new addition to Canada.....couldn't have asked for a cuter addition! Nice to see some picture of Ruth and Emily, Ruth you are positively glowing.....or maybe that's because of the cleaning after the formula explosion.....no, I think its that new mommy glow! I love the one of the family together very sweet! Darcy I hope you are going to invest in a shotgun cause those boys will be pounding down your door to get to Emily! :)

Hi you two!
ReplyDeleteahh, the memories of traveling with babies. We've travelled with both Caro and Gen when they were babies, to France, via LHR. A good trick is to ask the FA to warm up Emily's bottle before take off, and you feed it to her slowly while the plane is climbing. It helps to prevent Emily's ears from blocking and it releaves a bit of the pressure that she may feel. And yes, do bring a bunch of diapers and at least 4 changes of clothes on board. I didn't have enough with 2 changes, so be sure to bring lots!! Lessons learned!
Your pictures are great. Love her little sunhat! You are such a good Mom, you can tell in your smile how proud you are (both of you!!). Congrats again and I can't wait to see you all in YOW soon!!
Luv Daniellexo
PS: Darcy, you are doing a great job by showing Emily how the ATM machine works - After all, she is a girl (girl = shopping)!!
