Home sweet Home
Finally we are home and are gradually getting settled in. Ema had a warm welcome when we arrived at the airport in Memphis. My parents, Kirk's parents, nanny and pawpaw, Uncle Hank, and Aunt Sonya were there. Ema was a little overwhelmed and exhausted so being sociable was not on her agenda. She was asleep by the time we left the airport. Our trip to Vietnam was truely a trip of a lifetime. We will never forget the people there and how nice everyone was to us. While we are so glad to be home, we feel like we left some of our family there. Trinh, we know you are reading this....We love you so much and hope that when you come to the USA that you look us up!! You made our stay in Vietnam so much more comfortable and we will always think of you as part of our family. Henry....you gave us the greatest gift that we could have ever asked for. Ema is blessed to be raised in the USA but we are more blessed to have her as our dughter. We cannot imagine what our life was like without Ema. Her smile is contagious and her happy spirit fills our home with joy!
