it took some doing.
On Saturday-we took a trip to the Silk Village with some other PLAN families along with Cherie (our in-country liason), her son Brian, and Cong (who does a lot of the driving). The Silk Village is comprised of at least one silk factory and a street full of shops. We ended up buying a bunch of beautiful Ao Dais for Josie. I think we have at least one for every year until she's four.
Josie liked the Snugli . . .she fell asleep on the bus and woke up halfway throught the trip. 
Silkworms . . . .
More silkworms . . . .
After shopping we went to lunch with everyone at Wild Rice-where mom and I shared some spring rolls and she had some fried rice and I got noodles and seafood. Josie wanted our food-or maybe she just wanted the chopsticks. Not sure. So far-none of the waitresses at any of the restaurants have taken Josie during the meal. This was a time that would've been nice as she got quite squirmy.Sorry for the lack of updates . . . .Josie got 2 more teeth over the weekend . . . . she was very cranky, didn't sleep much, and had a few bouts of inconsolable crying that almost sent me over the edge. However, it's getting better and hopefully I can post and put up pics and video of our trip yesterday to Josie's orphanage in Cau Giay.

Congrats again Ladies
Joni beat me to the punch.. I was about to say how lucky Josie is to have two such beautiful women in her life! I hope you all have a wonderful first Mother's Day together.
The teething shall pass.. if you have any fruit see if you can freeze some and she can chew on it like a popsicle and it will help
