The little boy was very naughty and always climbing around on the couch. Thao kept getting scared that he would kick her belly...

All night the boy was running around and didn't want to eat anything... But the girl just sat there very quiet and ate by herself. See! Better to have a girl!

Some more new clothes for mama!

Visit home town

Back in Ba Vi home town again, this time we stayed for one week to relax and eat a lot! I look so skinny here, because I was sick for the whole trip! :( But Thao's mom made porridge for me, bought me oranges, and took good care of me...


Photobucket

The preferred method of transportation! Try to imagine me riding this bicycle on a bumpy dirt road with a very big pregnant Thao sitting on the back... And then when I tried to stop at her sister's house, the handbrake fell off and I couldn't stop! I had to drag my feet, and we ended up waaaay down the road.

The garden looks nice and green. Can you find someone hiding there?

Visiting Ao Vua

Photobucket

Wow, my hair is getting really long! The plan is to make it curly like a surfer dude... If that doesn't work, then I'll just cut it all off again!


Photobucket

It was a nice day, so many people where here for wedding photos.

We spotted a tiger near the river!

Now Thao is starting to be a real pregnant girl... she is always eating!

The flypaper gets full very fast on the farm!!

Thao practices feeding a baby... a baby pig! This pig was too small, so they have to keep care of it and feed it milk so it can get strong. Yeah, so it can get big and they can eat it later!!


Photobucket

4 dogs and a pig
