23th October 2011 - Already a month in the CO...and a few stories to share with you!

It's been a little more than month since we landed in Denver and we already have so many things to share with all of you!

The best of all...we are finally moving into our new home. Wai Leng, Mila and I are getting "tired" of the hotel life. All in all, we have spent +7 weeks in a raw at the hotel, patiently waiting for our container to arrive.

Overall, both air and sea shipments weren't very successful. Each of them got delayed by a lot: the sea shipment by 3 weeks (due to a bomb in Hamburg) and the air shipment left Switzerland with a full month delay for no clear reasons (+ one box went missing...damned!!). We are crossing our fingers and hope for the best for next Wednesday!

2nd October - Cheyenne Zoo & Memorial Hospital in Colorado Spring

Mila had quite a hard time during our last visit to the "Cheyenne Zoo" (see previous post, the one with the giraffes).

On the 02nd October, we all went to cheer up with her friends the "mountain's giraffes". We just had time to feed them, then we took the "Sky Ride" (cable seat) to the top of the Zoo where awaited us a nice ice cream and a kid's play ground. In a second, Mila tripped... Ouch! that must hurt!! --> total time at the zoo: 47 minutes!!

I will spare you with the details, but we were so lucky that a paramedic-visitor was here as well, because Mila got a serious injury on the head and a very deep cut. The ambulance arrived in no time and we handed up in the "Memorial Kids Hospital" in Colorado Spring where we spent most of the day (and part of the evening too!). Mila was very brave while the doctor "fixed" her back with no less than 7 stitches!! It has now been 3 weeks since and Mila is doing great!! Here are few pictures of our little princess.

Mila with her 7 stitches @ the hospital

Mila doing much better (same day!!) ;-)

...and with just a thin scar after the third week... 

The stitches were very well done and we hope that the scar will be slowly disappearing...in the mean time, we are required to apply +50 SPF every day on it!

15th October - A nice hair-cut for Mila

Another memorable moment was Mila's first hair cut in the Colorado! Look by yourself: nice little chair, "on-demand movie", a "lollipop" at the end and the hairdresser was so fun during the cut!!

A nice little "car seat"...

Mila watching "Thomas & friends"...

...and the reward for having been still for 12.5 minutes!!

22nd October - Halloween for Mila

October is the Halloween season and since we are now in the US, we had to be part of it!

We got an invitation from the day care of Mila for a "Fall party" last Saturday... So we brought Mila to a little shopping experience and she, herself, decided to become a "bee"... how cute! See by yourself:

"Mila-the-bee"

Mmmhhh, yummy halloween-biscuit!!
 
Bbzzzzzzz... ;-)

We miss you all!!
