Arrival in Hanoi Vietnam

We've been here in Vietnam now for a couple days but still excused for our actions as "jet lag" is still in full force around our house. A couple of times a day we really let the beast out but for the most part we are still quite civil to each other. I could not stay awake past 7:00 pm last night so me and rexy and pyper were wide awake this morning at 2:30 am, we decided to unpack and then play with toys. Rory and city enjoy having the freedom to stay up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning hanging out so they can get a full nights sleep. Everyone loves the new house, although it's stressful carting groceries and goods down our ally ( not big enough for cars, and we don't have motorbikes yet) to our house, I have to admit that it's quaint and even kinda romantic walking down the path with each house right up close to each other, everyone in each other's living space. It feels a little like some parts of Europe, we've never lived this way before and it's really quite refreshing. I love the view on one side of the house where you look out and see many other houses (my neighbors) each terrace crowded with laundry and music echoing through the ally ways. Although last nights wasn't so cute when I woke up from the dog barking. Such a different life to get used to.  Rich's favorite view is the other side of the house facing the lotus pond, although you really have to go up another level to enjoy it to the fullest. Rory and city have been officially claiming their rooms on the third floor, with the babies down on the second floor with me and Rich. The Mosquitos have also staked their claim but I bought some raid, the battle is on! Maybe it's time to start the malaria mess.

I read an article that's said cutting lines in half and putting whole cloves in them keep mosquito's away. Also if you sprinkle she or basil on campfires they don't like it either, maybe you could find basil or sage candels;) good luck I love reading about your adventures!!

Thanks for the wishes, we really are enjoying ourselves. I found these awesome plugin mosquito things that work wonders. No more mosquito bites, it's been nice not itching like crazy the last cole days. We successfully ordered pizza last night too! Woohoo, we're on a roll.
