Trip to M-town!

Sunday and Monday we went to M-town :) I was a really hard trip on me... (it was REALLY hot... and being hot and preg hasn't really worked out well for me)... but it was a great trip!!

We got to hang out with S&S (our worker friends in the city) - and that was great :) We spent the first day with Jaya & Mayank and their family... for some reason I don't have any pics, but we had fun :) We ate and talked and had a lot of fun :)

Then on Monday, we went to the Kumar's house (the family we used to live with). It was UB's (the youngest boy) Birthday! We were at language school last year during his birthday, so we thought this would be a goo time to come and visit... We also missed the other kid's birthdays(Shakshi & Puru) this year because I was sick and on bedrest.... SO... we had a bunch of Birthday gifts to give out :)

We gave the boys a gift, plus something funny... We gave Puru a fake mustache so that he could look like his dad :) haha! (see the pic below)
We gave UB an eye patch... you can't really tell from here, but the eye patch says: "I'm a one-eyed pie" - haha!
Mr. Kumar had some new sunglasses and thought Adam should pose in them.
So, in typical birthday tradition here... you have to feed each other birthday cake when you cut it...
They also put a tikka on UB's forehead.
Afterwards some neighbors came over and we got to hang out with some other people we haven't seen in a while :) In the pic below, the girl on the left is Shavangi. She was my first language helper when we first moved to South Asia... next to her is Shakshi - she's grown a foot since we were last there!!! She's so tall!!!! (I think I look funny in this pic, and I don't even look pregnant - haha!)
At the end of the evening, Mona had a girl come and do Mehndi (henna) on our hands. It's for fun to celebrate the national holiday that takes place tomorrow :)
It was a fun trip :) We have been missing our M-town family :)

You're right - you don't look pregnant at all in that pic, let alone 22 weeks!! But in the second pic, Jellybean shines through. :) You look so great, even if you were miserably hot. Looks fun!

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll

Funny Things - Age Appropriate?

Just wondering... but who thought that putting a HUGE Super scary picture right over the playground was a good idea??  hahahaha!!!  My kids were terrified! :) haha!
