Today we attended our first US Embassy interview and Tommy had his follow-up medical appointment. Both went well. We should know the date of our second (and final) US Embassy interview later this week.
Yesterday Doug went to the "Big C," Vietnam's version of WalMart and purchased a stroller. We won't dare use it on the sidewalks, but it is nice to have around the hotel or at a restaurant. Most of the other adoptive families here have purchased them as well. Doug didn't take the camera to the Big C, but wishes he would have because there were cases of frozen animals and meat products.......weird food.
It is hard to believe that Tommy has only been with us for one week. It seems like he's always been here, and he's changing everyday. His newest trick is to pull off our glasses........he has a very tight grip and he does not let go easily. He's also sitting up a little more each day, with assistance, but he is improving.
Tomorrow we plan on getting some shopping done, and Thursday morning it's back to pick up the Vietnamese passport and then the adoption medical appointment Thursday afternoon.
Signing off for tonight, The Grays

I love reading about your adventures! Esp. the stroller one to the Big C. He's such a cutie pie...you are so lucky!
tommy doesn't look too excited about the stroller, but i bet you were getting quite the work out carrying the little guy around in the baby bjorn...loving your pictures and stories about the culture...well, the stories more than the pictures of chicken feet! i know first hand that the neb treatment sucks, but one time i had a nurse tell me that it's better when the babies cry because they inhale more of the medicine...hang in there Grays...you'll be home before your know it...don't be in too much of a hurry...it's still freezing here in grand Batavia! ...erika
Sounds like Tommy is doing so so well. Glad your first appointment went well!!
