		<title>Spiky!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parker wanted spiky hair again, so I obliged this morning. I’ll probably be giving him a much shorter haircut soon, once it warms up. So, here’s an extremely over-exposed, fake-smile picture for posterity.
 
At about this time three years ago I was eagerly awaiting travel to Viet Nam to meet my son-to-be. Here is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just a tidbit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a couple of little things I thought were neat that I wanted to remember.
Whale regarded as near royalty in Viet Nam
Thousands of Vietnamese fishermen are giving a royal send-off to a 15-ton dead whale, gathering at a southern Vietnamese village to pay homage at a funeral for the creature they call &#34;Your Excellency.&#34;
Nearly 10,000 [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Picture Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of these pictures actually go back to Chanukah, but most are much more recent.
This is Parker after having received his new camera for his birthday. He’s taking a picture of a new train grandpa got for his layout. Parker loves to take pictures – he’s quite the expert at having you pose or say [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Winter Is Dragging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have obviously been terrible about updating my blog, and I’m blaming it on winter, and still not having sold my house (which now I’m just plain sick of), and being busier than ever with a very active just-3 year old. So, I’ll try to do a little update now while I’m feeling ever-so-slightly inclined [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Empty Zoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went to the zoo on Saturday and it was pretty empty, which was really nice. We got to spend as much time as we wanted at each exhibit, the penguins, jaguars, jellyfish, and flamingos were the big hits this time!
He was really interested in how some of the jellyfish can sting you, and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Run Up To 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, Parker An just turned three years old! Hard to believe it has already been over 2 1/2 years since he joined my family.
The week before, my aunt and uncle from Seattle were in, we had fun visiting with them, and got to have a little Chanukah celebration. We went to our annual holiday gift [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thanksgiving Picture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little late, you think? And, one paltry picture? Yep, I’m just too busy with holiday stuff to do much blogging at the mo’. Parker and his cousins on Thanksgiving day.

		<title>Heard In My Bed Last Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Parker comes into my room to sleep with me last night at like 1 AM. While trying to fall back to sleep, we have this conversation out of nowhere:
P: Daddy, I feel like pizza.
Me: Ok, it’s time to sleep, goodnight.
P: I’m a pepperoni pizza, do you want to eat me?
Me: (dawning on me that he’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>This and That</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long overdue post with a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Parker An will be three at the end of next month – he’s been exclusively using the toilet and wearing only underwear for the last two weeks – not a single accident! He’s very proud of himself, and I’m proud [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Vietnamese Adoption Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like the new adoption specific law has or will soon pass in Viet Nam. I haven’t been able to get the text yet (in Vietnamese or English), so it’s impossible to say what has or will change. 
The enactment of the new Adoption Law will help orphans find responsible and caring adoptive parents, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a very fun and full Halloween weekend. I took Friday off work, and Parker An and I headed up to Michigan. Friday we visited Madison Heights, which has several Vietnamese stores. There’s a few restaurants, a couple of video and book stores, a market, etc. We ate at the Little Saigon restaurant – [...]]]></description>
