America - Tennessee - Knoxville

This past week we went to Gatlinburg, but we also went to Knoxville to visit family. Aashini & Diya had a great time playinig with their cousins :)
My Aunt Melinda has soooo many toys at her house! Diiya called her house the "play place".
This is my Uncle Reggie pulling the kids around :)
We got to visit with my grandmother quite a few times while we were up there. Aashini was loved holding her hand. It was sweet.
Here's Diya with my Great Aunt Violet. She just recently turned 90! Awesome!
While we were there I got to go to a baby shower for my new cousin :)
Adam & I with my cousins and their wives and our kids :)
My Aunt Melinda made TONS of deserts while we were there. One desert she made was Bread Pudding made with KRISPY KREME donuts (instead of bread!)!!!!!!! Crazy! It was super sweet! (and yummy too!) :)
Here are some more cousins :) The kids definitely had fun! :)
Then we were back on the road again... We're off to New Orleans/Slidell next weekend! :)

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...
