Bad father

I feel somewhat guilty about this post, but since we have taken so many pictures of Kamea looking happy I thought we should show some video of what goes on the rest of the time.  I hope she forgives me for this in the future.

First we have  Kamea showing us what she does everytime Maelle leaves the room for more than 5 seconds.

Next we have a good example of Kamea's favourite dance when she does not get her way for any reason (like any normal 2 year old).  We really need to teach her to speak.

On to a more fun example of our bad parenting.  Maelle and I fondly remember cocktails with Noah on the roof of the Sheraton in HCMC, when he was 6 months old.   So, we took a taxi to the Sofitel by West Lake where we were met with a very french waiter and a spectacular view of Hanoi from the 20th floor lounge (as well as an excellent rasberry, vanilla mojito).   We walked to a nearby Pagoda as well (la Pagode de la defense du pays).

cocktail for 2 - Don't worry it is fresh pineapple juice!

Finally today, we walked to the streets around the opera where we found one of the 3 stores that would be necessary for Maelle to be happy living in Hanoi.

There is some unconfirmed good passport news -- but I will have no announcement prior to having them in our hands -- lots of things could still go wrong.

Et un commentaire de Maelle: I love Vietnam!  Could stay here for much longer!
