To my joy this evening, I received 5 more photos of Matteo taken yesterday, so these will be his 5 month photos...He is already standing in his little crib!! uh uh.....anyhow he is adorable if I say so myself and hope that before long I can post these photos so I can more easily share them!!
About a month ago in the Oct. 4th photos, he had scabies, but in these recent photos and those of Oct. 20, his skin looks clear and blemish free, so hope I won't need to treat him for it....
Things are progressing. Items that got crossed off the list, Blue Cross medical insurance for Matteo, travel health insurance for me, swimming diapers for Matteo, cat food and cat litter for the other boys, found the travel electrical plug, and finalized the travel itinerary. Flying to Toronto, then Hong Kong and then to Ho Chi Minh. Arriving mid-morning on the 18th. Hope to go directly to Vung Tau if I can!!
Still have a few more things on the agenda but am sure they will get done slowly but surely!!. Want to see if I can close Matteo's suitcase this weekend ...so that is top on the list!...
Another family from out west left for Hanoi yesterday.....it was great to follow their countdown on their blog...actually they may have already arrived??
Otherwise am enjoying these recent photos that make me feel he is even closer!!...and of course counting down the days...eleven to go!!..
So exciting!

Hi Francesca,
ReplyDeletePlease make sure you work with the travel agent to have a ticket for Matteo when you fly back home. We thought we had ours but to our surprise when we got to the airport to fly out we had a nightmare and ended up paying $500.00 for Lily's ticket out when it should only have cost us about $125.00. Double check that. You will most likely have to get the ticket after the G & R and when you have a date to fly home.
