New pictures of Isaac!!!!

These pictures were taken yesterday, Nov 5/07.

The days are becoming harder and longer as we are still waiting for a travel date. We are still hoping to have him home for Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Meet Captian Jack Sparrow and Emily the Corpse Bride.

Too Scaaaary!!!!!!!!!!

A bigger, healthier looking Isaac!

We received new pictures of Isaac that were taken on October 21. It looks like he has gained a bit of weight and is doing well (I think it has to do with all the prayers being said for him by his great Aunt Brenda).

No news on a travel date yet. We are still hoping to have him home for Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Hey Beautiful Day. Hey Beautiful Day.

Headed back to Cyprus Lake yesterday for some family fun and what a beautiful day it was. I can't beleive we are nearing the end of October and still wearing t-shirts...not that I am complaining. We took some terrific pictures. Take a look.

Avery just being....Avery!


Me and my Beau. (Avery took this picture. Pretty good eh?)



That's our eldest baby Rielly jumping off a cliff after a stick. He reverts back to his puppy days anytime he is around water. Poor guy is paying for all his fun today though.

The time has FINALLY come!!!!!!!!

We would like to introduce everyone to our newest addition.....



Isaac Minh Hoang
Born June 5, 2007. (He's a Gemini just like his mom)
As of October 1st he weighed 11lbs.

As you can probably guess we are absolutely thrilled with Isaac. He is 100% more perfect then we could have ever hoped for. Thanks to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

To Isaac......Hold on tight baby boy. We'll be there soon to bring you home, hopefully in time to see Santa.

Karate Cam

Cameron has been asked to join a team within his karate club to represent his dojo at tournaments. He was one of a small number of yellow belts picked for the team. Cameron's sensei said that he is very dedicated and feels that he would do a good job representing the club. This also means that he is required to attend an extra class every week. Cam is pretty serious about his karate and is very excited that sensei pick him for the team. We are VERY proud of our karate kid!!!!!!!!!

On another happy note...

Cameron was named "EINSTEIN of the week" at school for reading a book well above his grade level. Again, we are so very proud of him!

Our First Family Canoe Trip

We headed up to Algonquin Park this past weekend to venture out on our first ever family canoe trip. What a great weekend! It was a little chilly on the Saturday and the water was a bit rough for canoeing but we toughed it out and Sunday/Monday turned out to be beautiful. The kids didn't like portaging very much...either did I for that matter... but by the time we finally reached our campsite it was well worth the hike. Cameron and Avery spent most of their time catching turtles and frogs while Tilley spent the weekend ensuring that no chipmunk was going to invade our campsite. Rielly slept.

Tilley the Adventurer Cameron checking out the bathroon facilities! Avery and three baby snapping turtles that she begged to keep as pets.

ZOO DAY

We went to the zoo August 21st with Kelly, Martin, Faith and Colin. It was again another brutally hot day and we spent the most part in the splash pad. The kids had an amazing time getting wet. The dinosaur tent was a hit with Avery. She loved looking at all the bones and skeletons of the dinosaurs. We also hit up all the pavilions with snakes and lizards (Avery's passion in life). What a great way to end off the summer holidays. Thanks Kelly and kids for a fun day......next time lets do it when its 10 degrees cooler out. LOL

End Of The Summer FUN

We went to African Lion's Safari with Grandma August 20th and other then being terribly hot we had a great time. It was amazing how the animals are so comfortable with all these cars driving right up to them. The deer scored with us...we had a bag of uneaten McDonald's french fries that Cameron and Avery were more then willing to share with them. You could barely see out the side windows when we were done with all the snot and spit on them from the animals. Cameron's favorite animal were the deer, Avery liked the zebra and I really enjoyed the monkeys (I think I liked the monkey's best because I live with two of them everyday!) It was a good day had by all. Thanks for taking us Grandma!
