We had a jam packed weekend. Dinner at our regular hang out Friday night (the Walden Club with the expats and foreigners), then out with some friends (Patrick and Maudri (clay wrote on them this week on the blog if you want a bit more of a history). Saturday it was massages, some new friends came over for lunch (Tracy, Michael, and Sandra. They live in our apt complex and are a really neat family. Unfortunately they are set to leave the country in about 2 months, too bad we did not meet them earlier), mom went to the Secunderabad club to meet some friends in the afternoon, and then we went over to another friend’s house (Susan from Australia) for game night. Clay and his teammate swept the table playing pictionary (they got some easy ones like ‘skirt’ but finished with a tough all play ‘Alcatraz”, not too shabby). Sunday it was more of a pampering day with manicures, pedicures, hot oil head massages, and then out to our favorite Lebanese restaurant for hummus (Ashley-are you jealous?) The evening was nice and relaxing, a bit of fighting with our internet provider, then it was “clean out the fridge night” for dinner.
Monday morning we woke up bright and early, 4:00 am, to attend a super bowl party at some friend’s house just across the courtyard at our apartment complex. Clay and I just couldn’t bring ourselves to drink a beer at 4:30am, but other than that it was just like being homeJ They had a scoring pool, buffalo wings, the whole bit. Robyn and Scott were great hosts and made us feel right at home. They are also at the end of their time in Hyderabad so they are starting to liquidate their household appliances, we got a great deal on the most powerful blender on the planet (Clay says that we should convert our house to 240 V when we get back to the U.S., He says “Gives me the power I need”) and a scale in KG’s, nice.
Mom and Claire have been crazy busy all week going to lunches here and there, attending baby club, shopping, rotary club, etc.
Clay and I have some co-workers in town from the US (Shawn and Archie), so we look forward to showing them around this weekend, should be fun. Archie already went for an auto ride with Clay last night. We have a good picture, Clay will get it on the photo site this weekend. I think Shawn is jealous, today he was asking about how he can take one of them for a ride tonight.
Claire Stuff:
Claire’s teacher’s names are Ms. Madhuri and Ms. Nandita. She calls them Ms. Nadi and Ms. Mandita (switching the first initials around). No too bad for someone who’s not even 2 yet.
We’ve been trying to slowly introduce the potty chair/big girl pants thing with Claire. She is TOTALLY not interested, the only thing she likes the potty chair for is to stand in it or turn over and ride it like a horse. We aren’t getting very far.
That’s all for now, will write more next week!
