The Red Couch Incident!
Mike on Jul 30th 2007
In a couple of hours we will be leaving for the American Consulate and then the airport to come home, but I thought I’d leave you with this glimpse of the comedy and horror that is apparantly a tradition of adoptive families at the White Swan. There is a red couch in a picturesque area of the hotel where groups of adopting families take pictures of their children. How this horrific and torturtous tradition started I’ll never know…after watching the spectacle my guess is that it is something the Emperors used to torture the children of disobediant slaves. In any case, everyone got through it without any apparant permanent emotional scars. To set you all at ease, I’ve included a few photos we took after getting Nadia back to the hotel room…so you can see she is still happy.
See you all soon, back in America!

Red couch, bad!!!! Hotel room with no shirt on, good!!!!
Oh Louanne, I just had to laugh at the Red Couch photos!! A more unhappy group of babies I have never seen!! I pray that your flight home is far less noisy!
Blessings,
Cristina (aka tassiegirl)
too bad about that red couch…the important thing is Nadia is a happy baby in general. Good luck on the flight back…
Hurry home- I promise I will never have a red couch–although we both love the color!
Safe journey, my children, Louanne, Mike & Nadia
Counting the hours,
Mom xxxooo
Lou,
Those pictures (as unhappy as those babies look) were too great! Nadia looks adorable even when she is crying. Love the little red dress. I can’t wait to see you guys and hug and kiss her!
Love, Lina

you a very safe trip home.
