Nanny no more

It's been a while since I posted, so a little update on what's been happening. We had a nanny arrive and start work on the 28th, Miss Oanh. She is from near CC's home town and the plan was for her to stay with us for a while and then she would be daytime only once she got used to living in HCMC.

Seven days, she lasted. She was fine with Catriona and didn't mind Walker. But I think her husband, who was still living in Can Tho, was missing her too much. Oh well, plan B (we don't actually have a plan B yet...).

2nd September was National Day in Vietnam, a public holiday. Tom, Thu and their son Bill came down to visit us and see Catriona for the first time. That's Thu, CC and Catriona in the picture. Check out CC's colour co-ordination, especially the patent leather orange Doc Martens!!

I've uploaded some new photos of Catriona to Google Web albums - check them out at http://picasaweb.google.com/andrewhcmc/200908Catriona#

We tried Catriona in the baby bouncer we got from Mum and Dad. She's still a bit small but she seemed to enjoy it. It also confused Walker no end!

Yesterday we were on a charity Fun Run across the new Phu My Bridge., which opened last week. There were 5,000 people who attended and it was a good day out. Most people walked the 5km but there were quite a few runners as well, including CC's boss Pat, who is training for the New York Marathon. He'd been out for a 12km run at 5:30 that morning as a warm-up!

We debated whether to take Catriona but in the end we decided not to in case the weather turned bad.

A quiet week ahead for us, as it's back to just me, CC, Cat and dog...
