Saturday and Sunday








Saturday and Sunday we spent doing quite a bit of shopping and relaxing at the hotel. We ate at our favorite places and spent time with friends. Here are some pictures from the weekend. Sorry the posts aren't very detailed-- Iyla keeps us VERY busy but she is sleeping at the moment so I have a few seconds to post this. Also, today we have our first visa appointment and tomorrow (Tuesday) we have our visa medical appointement and will pick up Iyla's Vietnamese passport. We are inching ever closer to bringing Iyla home.
Enjoy the pics!

Miss Iyla in her stroller ready for a day of shopping at the local mall. Seriously, it took a week but we DID find a mall-- is anyone surprised??! It was even air-conditioned-- MAJOR bonus!























Now, here's one of your hosts demonstrating how she felt after she was taken by a street vendor. Notice the purchase-- quite nice--no?! It is a nice hat (non la) but NOT for the price we paid-- plus it left Janie without any dong to spend for the day. Boo hoo!!



















Daddy and Iyla lunching at the Somerset Grand's Restaurant-- Jaspas on Saturday afternoon. Notice the little Miss is QUITE the busy one-- trying to get at the leftover food!













Here is the view from our hotel room-- we are on the 20th floor. In this shot you can see the back of the Hanoi Cathedral near the middle of the picture.

















Iyla in her GO Bengals gear on Sunday!!




















Daddy and Iyla nap on the floor right before lunch on Sunday.


Iyla trying on the traditional conical hat-- non la-- for all our friends at home. Doesn't she look SMASHING?!?!

We just wanted to let you know that we have been keeping up-to-date with your posts and loving all of them. Sorry we haven't posted earlier. Madison wants to see pictures of Baby Iyla all the time. All of you look so happy! We can't wait for each post, and we also can't wait to see all of you. Oh, and Iyla, could you hurry and come home? The Bengals need all the support they can get!
