First Day in our Host Country

Kiley's first blog post:

"Welcome to real South Asia. It is so crowded but its a really good view. The first night we slept in a hotel and I got the top bunk. I've seen baby taxis and rickshaws. I even saw a baby. The mommy was carrying it on a bicycle. And it is so cool! I always want to stay in South Asia!"

*as spoken by Kiley. Names of places have been changed. ;)

If you can't tell, Kiley is very pleased with her host country. She woke up her first morning here and said "Good morning, South Asia!"

Both girls have been superstars. They did amazing on the plane. And hit it off with their new friends almost instantly. Now you'd see them walking hand in hand and dancing around the house with people they didn't know only a few short hours ago.

As promised, we've already had a couple of embarrassing moments. Such as asking Clinton Kelly if he was married and then proceeding to ask him about his "wife". Oops! (You figure that one out).

And, of course, after getting off the airplane, getting our bags, and talking about how unbelievably smooth everything went, Jason managed to dump a cart full of our luggage. But it didn't end there. We were on the moving walkway. And he was in the front. Get the picture? When his dumped, the rest of us had to try to run backward, pulling our carts to keep from slamming into his spilled one. We were, of course, unsuccessful. So, the rest of the carts dumped too! We couldn't help but laugh (after making sure the girls didn't get trampled). We learned a very important lesson not to speak too soon!

We are so blessed that everything is exceeding our expectations. Our home ( no pics yet) is far better than we imagined. We still need to work out some logistics and have a long road ahead to learn how to buy everything we need for our house but in a different language!

We are definitely suffering from jet lag. Even though we managed to keep everyone awake from 8:30 am until 7:30 pm without even a nap, Kiley woke up at 1 am and asked if she could get up now! Kamden soon followed and Jason & I are wide awake too. So, the girls are watching a movie after we pushed them as long as we could to stay in bed. We will try again tomorrow.

What an awesome adventure so far. One day at a time!!!! He's got this!
