Where Have We Been??

Hey!! Sorry we've been a little absent lately :) Things have been a little crazy! We leave to go to the states on the 17th... so we've been going crazy doing tons of stuff :) Along with that... or great friends S&S had a baby!!!!!!! We watched their other 2 girls the last couple of days while they were in the hospital having their new baby - Joy!She's quite the cutie and her sisters are so excited to have their new little sister :)
On another note... while trying to "walk the baby out", Susan & I did a little shopping to get ready for our trip to the states :) We went in this shop and this guy decided to show us what this belly dancing scarf looked like on a person - haha!

what does it mean to "walk the baby out?"

"walk the baby out"... she was having contractions and walking brings them on stronger and gets the labor coming faster :)

They didn't know it was a girl - it was a surprise :)

Hey! Hope your last few weeks go great, but I'm sure you are busy!!! Can't wait to get the update on your time in the states!Will you be at the farm in Sept?
It was really nice of that guy to show you his moves! Thank goodness there was no "belly" for the belly-dance.

Cute little baby!

I would like to request your presence in California. Are you taking requests?

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

In Thailand!

We flew to Bangkok, Thailand today! The flight went well :) Aashini cried a little, but did awesome! We got the bulkhead seat and they even had an extra seat next to us! Aashini really only set in it for a pic or two, but it was fun anyway :) You can see the Buddhist monk in red behind Aashini. The guy that set next to us was a Monk also, he was actually the translator for the Dalai Lama ! Cool hunh? It was funny because he was typing on his laptop the whole flight (and Aashini was grabbing at his robe - haha!) This picture below cracked me up so I had to post it :) When we got here we had to go get a few things at the grocery store :) Aashini went to her first grocery store in the Middle East, but this was her first time getting to ride in a cart!!! She LOVED it!! She was swining her legs, babbling up a storm and looking at everything! Thai people LOVE babies!!! She got a lot of attention today! I have a feeling she's going to get a lot of attention the next coupl...
