Have Visa - Will Travel!






Today, after a second day at the U.S. Consulate, we were issued visas for the boys and are set to travel home tomorrow! These past two days have been a bit tough on the little guys (especially yesterday), being shuttled around from office to office to doctor to office for this process. Today was also a day of firsts: first sugar buzz (from way too many cookies from Daddy), first poopy diaper that spilled out onto Mommy's lap (because of course - no car seats in India!), first time in a swimming pool (they were only scared for a minute), first time (we assume) the boys got to pick out souveniers at a gift shop, and the first time we watched one of the boys (Charlie Lakhan) feed his little brother (so sweet). That's all for now, off to bed after a few more cute photos.

Eric and Melissa , Your children are beautiful, you must be so proud, well I guess thats obvious from the expressions on your faces in the pics. I will look forward to meeting the rest of your family in person some day.

It is so great to see them smile, especially Owen. I know you were worried about that. You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words... Their smiles say that they now know that they have the best mommy and daddy in the whole wide world!!!!!!
Travel safely home.
Love, Beth Scrimger
