Happy 6 month birthday Matteo, my little tigger!

Today we had an inpromptu 6 month birthday party for Matteo...I had gotten a message that Lea and Zeke were heading out for a walk, and we too were trying to get out so that we could get some pastries for the occasion. It has been hard to coordinate our meetings with babies on different scedules and this morning it all worked out without effort...Matteo and I had gone to the Binh An4 to try to organize some travel plans and happily bumped into Lea and Zeke who were just heading out...so we decided to go for coffee together at the Garden Restaurant (the place with the Christmas Palm trees) which is where I was going to get the pastries...then we stopped back at the Binh An1 where I am staying to ask some questions...one of the offices for the orphanages is here at the Binh An1...we took enough time, that who should come down the street but Georgina and Mario and Galen...so we did take photos of all of us together but will have to wait to be able to post them. While Georgina, Mario and Galen were not going to stop in for a morning drink, they decided to as it might be the last occasion in Vung Tau for us to get together....so they did and it was great..

...also to my happy surprise they had a little tigger cake (Matteo was born in the year of the tiger....)...and they did have a candle...so it was so nice to be able to share in this birthday and share it with some special new friends....

Anyhow it was a beautiful morning and a lovely visit....Matteo and I had hoped to then spend the afternoon on the beach but it was not to be...some crankiness, some teething issues and Matteo went down for a later nap so we ended up not going to the beach, where we'll try to go tomorrow for the last time...
