Sananda at Home

Thanks for peeking in again!!!

Thanks for all your prayers that got us through the whole adoption process and for your support in each way that you have contributed. Most of all, thanks to God for bringing Sananda and us together as a family. Without Him, we could not have done it.

Let's play ball.

Sananda turns 1 year old. She is not real sure about this cake thing. However, she found out that it is good after all.

Pictures of New Dehli

Well, if we have not lost all of you by now, we finally got around to posting a few pictures of New Dehli.

Presidential Palace

Outside of McDonald's in New Dehli

McDonald's menu inside the store.

Ghandi memorial

India Gate Monument - our camera ran out of batteries before we could get a picture of us in front of it.
Mt. Dew at last!!! - this outside vendor was the only place that had some.

With 4 people and a baby, we had a lot of luggage. The driver had to SET(not tie down) some of our luggage on the top of the taxi. But we didn't lose anything on the wild ride to the airport.

Finally, pictures of Kolkata!

I will TRY to post more pics. Some of Delhi next time and our new daughter at home.

A really narrow road that made me nervous.

Cool three wheeled truck. We would have great fun with one of these out here at the farm.

Victoria Memorial.

Bike powered rickshaw.

This would be enough to give you a headache.

Speaks for itself!

Flowers strands strung in a doorway.

Man powered rickshaw. Traffic.

A neighborhood in Kolkata.

A building across from our hotel.

The girls, sacked out!

We reached home!

Sorry I hadn't posted sooner, we have been so tired and our internet was out for a day and we got home a day later than planned as we had another flight added, by the airlines,to our route home. We were just so tired after all the plane changes and the rushing inbetween them and such that we stayed a night near our final landing spot. It felt so good to just rest and know that we wouldn't have to get up the next day and fly somewhere, but to be able to just drive ourselves home. About 5 hours later we were finally reunited with our sons again and it felt really nice.

Guess I still have Delhi belly. I thought it was Mcdonalds that made me sick but now I am rethinking that it may have been the bottle of pop that I drank. I was so careful about this and only drank pop that had been bottled by Pepsi. This pop had the same name, but after I drank some of it and realized it had a different taste to it, I looked and didn't see that Pepsi logo on it. Opps! So, now I am blaming the pop. I am starting to feel better though.

Sananda is still doing well, she loves to eat. I weighed her today, she is 18.5 pounds. We all are still just trying to adjust to a new time zone. I will try to post some more pictures tomorrow.
