Day #7




Hi Everyone,
We have had Tatum with us for one week now. She is getting more comfortable everyday. She is still a daddy's girl, but I think she is getting used to both Colin and me. She is smiling and playing with me and lets me touch her. She fed Colin a cracker today and they had some parallel play in the room. :)
We took it very easy today. Breakfast in the hotel was fabulous. They had tons a food with many Western style choices. I was on cloud 9 because they had tater tots! Colin had some toast with real butter and some fresh melon.
We went down to the Mattel playroom and spent 1 1/2 hours there. It was beautiful! The carpet was soft and clean. They have a DVD palyer with many Disney movies available. There are tons of toys! There is a play kitchen, balls of all sizes, and Legos!
For dinner, we went to Lucy's. It is a restaurant on Shamian Island that caters to adoptive families. The menu is full of recognizable dishes. Colin loved his grilled cheese! Dennis had a chicken wrap and I had chicken tenders. Tatum ate a little of everyone's!
Later, Dennis is running down to Starbucks for our coffee fix!
Tomorrow, Tatum has her medical appointment at the Consulate and then photos for the visa. We also have our group photo on the famous Red Couch. We're going to try and hit the pool tomorrow as well. It seems to rain in the afternoon everyday, so we need to time it right.

It sounds like the kids had so much fun! Little Tatum looks like she had a blast! Good luck three times (as my mother-in-law says!) at Tatum's doctor's appointment.

Was Dennis able to get another Starbucks fix???

Love,
Kelli
