Back to Normal and a Laugh

We are finally back into our sleep routine!! Haddon and Kai spent the weekend battling high fever and colds. They are finally getting back to their old selves.

A Little Laugh...
I get emails from an Expat (foreigners) Yahoo group in Bangalore. People post things like items for sale, community awareness, gatherings, etc. Frequently people who are moving to Bangalore post a request to get suggestions on where to buy furniture, find good schools, etc before they arrive. One man from Canada was soliciting referrals for a housekeeper that spoke "English or Spanish, even broken Spanish". I had to laugh at this! No one in India speaks Spanish, except maybe a few International Language majors in college. Domestic workers know around 2-4 local languages but not Spanish:) It makes me think of all the misconceptions and assumptions I made before and after moving here and still do! Even writing some (probably many) in this blog:)
