Christmas in March :)

So... Adam & I didn't really get anything for each other for Christmas... It was kinda crazy... you know... Getting checked into the hospital in October... having Aashini November 7... then staying in the hospital for a while.... going home... learning how to be parents (starting to learn anyway :))... going BACK into the hospital for over a week AND for Christmas....

Needless to say, we didn't really spend the time to buy each other anything.... sooo... we went to the mall the other day to get an inflatable bathtub for Aashini for traveling. We now have a mall on our side of town!! It's great! (before, we would have to drive at least an hour to get to a mall) :) So, Adam found something he wanted, and I found something I wanted... so we decided we should get them and call them Christmas presents - haha! (any excuse to buy toys - haha!).

This is what Adam got:

A wiffle ball set! whoo hoo!!! I got a bracelet:

So when we were buying Aashini's tub we decided that she needed a toy too :) So we got her these fun balls. Here she is in her bathtub with her balls :)

She started trying to put them in her mouth and really had fun with them! haha! We'll definitely have fun with those more in the future! :)

I"ll post more ball pictures on the baby blog :)

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
