Melissa with food poison

Melissa had bad luck! A food poison got her a night at the local hospital. And now she is a lot better, happily. Some impressions:

Dog lover

Our little girl was never very fond of dogs. And while in Florida she saw the dogs on a picture on this blog (photographed by coincidence ...) there was a lot of comment: "Do you have dogs?!! Are you kidding?!". The picture below tells the rest of the story.

Levi and Rodi arrived

Early this morning (like Melissa with hours delay) Levi and Rody arrived. The rest of the morning was to recover and this afternoon we had lunch (photo above is while waiting for a table). The first tastes of India were a success: this evening they went together with Camila for an Indian take-away veggie dinner!

Tomorrow we will fly to Goa. Sun, sea, beach and palm trees. Anyone to join us?

Melissa is home!

Early morning Melissa finally arrived. After all the delays in the US because of the bad weather (lots of snow) she is now in Mumbai, a day later than planned (inclusive 13 hours waiting at Newark). Happy to have her with us after all these long months! Today she made her first steps in the city, more on that later.

Christmas tree

We arranged a tree! Never mind that it doesn't look or feel like winter (during daytime still 32C); Christmas can come. I also show some other pictures of the interior of the house.

Tomás' birthday

Yesterday was Thomas' birthday, our nephew from Aveiro is now 8. Many congratulations, Tomas! Below a picture from last year we found with your sister and a Christmas tree.

All American Girl

Please have a look at our all American girl! In school uniform ... We look very, very much forward to Christmas, when she will be here with us in India.
