We're Here

I have so many thoughts on our reentry, so many new observations about Hanoi but I don't know how to sum it all up just yet. 

While it has definitely been an adjustment, it's been good.  And God is good.  All the time.

As I uploaded the photo of our bathtub it was a shock to see pictures from Texas uploading at the same time.  Was it really a week ago that we were in Texas driving our own car? Speaking English in stores?  Seeing friends from Northwood? Enjoying that central air-conditioning?  Wow, seems so far away.  

So this is our crazy new bathtub.  We didn't have a bathtub last time we lived here and as you can see we are double blessed because for some reason there are two taps!   One for each girl?  hmmm  The bathtub also moves around.  You can scoot it around the bathroom and position it any way you want.   The main thing is to make sure you got it under the tap when the water is on.  

We love our new place.  Right now it's a big grungy but when i get a fresh coat of paint on the walls and some pretty curtains I'll post pictures.   Though in stating how we like our new place, I keep in mind that Allison keeps requesting to go back to Texas.  She says Texas is better than Vietnam.   But then she sees the benefits of Vietnam when I take her to the backyard to pick a banana from our own banana tree and let her feed it to the deer that live across the street.  How cool is that!
