A little Class Reunion
We had a little visitor today! Keirra Cromwell, another baby from GoVap came all the way from the 8th floor to visit with Lucy today. Keirra's mom and Grandma are here, having adventures of their own as they wait for the same "G&R" ceremony we do. We were lucky enough to sign our "G&R request" forms together on the same day, and Keirra and Lucy came out of the orphanage at the same time and even shared a taxi back to the hotel (with all the rest of us crowded in around them). Aren't they a darling pair? Heather, Keirra's mom, is so kind, and it is obvious she is anxious to get home and settle in to a routine as a first time mom. Lucy and Keirra exchanged giggles and grins, and seemed happy to look into familiar eyes.
We were happy for this little visit, a nice distraction to all the waiting. I hope Keirra and Lucy will know each other, even if just through Christmas cards and "tet" greetings (tet is the vietnamese new year's celebration) for years to come. Two truly "high class" little darlings that share a similar memory of leaving the orphanage to join a loving family.

Dear Katie,
I love reading your blog. Knowing you, I should have known it would be a masterpiece. Thank you so much for thinking of us when you have so many more important concerns. The triathlon went well for all of us. I was so glad to swim straight and not be the last one out of the water, that I pretty much floated through the bike and run. Seleste did awesome (imagine what she could do if she trained), Kerry didn't hate the run and wants to do the Olympic distance next year, and J.J. of course has our utmost respect. We all finished pretty close. We really like Jack (the guy in charge) but aren't so fond of people who ask questions that make it sound like we are about to embark on the first trip to Mars or perform experimental brain surgery. We loved the guy who asked whether he had to wear his t-shirt throughout the event. You and Brook were sorely missed, and we are already hoping everyone will be able to come next year. Most of all we hope you will be able to bring your Lucy home soon. You and your family are in our prayers as we look forward to hearing the happy news that she is on her way home.
Love,
Laura and fellow triathletes of Hobble Creek
