Medical






This morning we took Ephraim and Olivia to get their medicals. It makes me appreciate our medical system! The kids' physicals were pretty minimal. The doctor told us that Ephraim was "too little" but "we will fatten". Ephraim weighed 6.2 kilos or 13.6 pounds. After medicals we had their passport photos taken and applied for their passports. Minh is going to pick up their passports this afternoon. When we adopted Sasha, it took a full week to get his passport from Kaliningrad. What a difference! This afternoon through Sunday we are free to do some sightseeing. Other than picking up the passports, we don't have any official business until we fly to Hanoi on Monday for our interviews for their US visas.
