Mommy and Daddy make me laugh . . .


Final Stop Delhi . . .

We arrived yesterday afternoon for our final leg of the trip. Jaya woke up alot the night before so we were all a little worse for wear on the flight and by the time we got to the hotel. We fell asleep for a couple of hours then woke up and thought, lets just run to the Embassy and get the Immunization waiver and get the medical done. So we hop in a cab about half way there we realized we remembered the diaper bag, the bottles, the wipes, the passports, the snuggli but somehow both of us forgot the giant folder of paperwork! So we tell the cabby who does the most amazing u-turn and in about 25 minutes we are at the Embassy. By the time we get through security it is 4:30pm (PS - if any of you are taking this trip, don't take batteries or baby toys - the guards like to play with them : ) On the way to the office I ask the guy what time they close he says 4:30 but they stop receiving appointments at 3:00. He tells us he will take us back anyway. Bear in mind we are still thinking we are just getting the waiver form. The next thing I know, we are having our appointment! Yep, the sweet man told us he hated to ask us to come back and would just take care of his part now. What a blessing!

There are still several steps to go but at least one is down! We stopped at a local grocery store and it was so funny. You walk in and everything has been put so neatly on the shleves which are covered by glass doors. So we thought you just open the doors and get what you want. Wrong. the shopowner comes over and says - I will get it for you , don't touch. I guess that's why it is so tidy because only he touches it! On the way back we saw some amazing India sites, we have posted some for you.

Jaya is doing great and is all smiles, Daddy has found her tickle spot which produces this quiet little laugh and toothless grin. We are learning as we go on the feeding schedule but no major upsets so far! We received more photos of Alysha having fun at Granma and Grandads, we will post some next time.
