Busy Days

The last few weeks have been very busy for us. Here's a break down in pictures...

Corban and Haddon have taken swim classes the last 3 weeks, finishing this past Saturday. They are now officially not afraid of the water, and as an added bonus, swimming! They both did great and at 3 1/2 years old I think Haddaon is on his way to an Olympic gold medal:) They loved their teacher, Mr. Nixon.


We spent 4 days at the Foreign Registration Office applying for a visa extension. Granted it wasn't full days but it surely wears you out driving an hour each way and sitting in line...waiting. The boys and I made use of our time by making funny faces. Here's some pics of those and smiles from the boys. BTW Brian went a fifth day and has to go back again tomorrow...that'll make 6 trips in all. They don't make it easy:)


On our way to the FRO we pass my favorite little neighborhood (I call it a village, but it's right in the city.) I think it's so colorful and visually stimulating. You really do feel like you've left the city and are visiting a rural community. There's also a pic of the Pappa John's I previously talked about and the typical pizza delivery vehichle in India.


We had a surprise visit by a beloved friend, David France, from Minnesota who now teaches violin classes in Bermuda. He travels the world and happened to be in India for 2 weeks. He had a layover in Bangalore so we got to spend a couple of hours with him. He is now in NY City performing in the YouTube symphony comprised of 100 talented musicians who auditioned on youtube, received the highest votes out of hundreds of contestants and will perform at Carnegie Hall. He took a few minutes to play for the boys who were thoroughly entertained.

Brian's work has been extremely busy wrapping up their "end of year" accounts and auditing. The month of March to the present has been intense with many long hours and stressful obstacles. Hopefully they'll be back to normal soon.

We celebrated Resurrection Sunday and the week leading it to it by making a playdough Calvery mountain and tomb. On Good Friday Jesus was on the cross for our sins and later placed in the tomb. On Saturday He was sealed up. This morning the stone was rolled away and Jesus was ALIVE! We also made "Resurrection Cookies" last night and found them ready to eat this morning in the oven. Our friends Sini, Sunoop, Nadia and Nayza came over for lunch. Just for fun we ordered this Alligator bread. The kids loved it and it was the size of a baby alligator!

Tomorrow the boys will go to VBS at our church! School is still in session until June at the Frazier house but since it is summer break for the children here (their school year runs June-March) we are getting to enjoy all the fun summer activities. So I guess we're on Spring Break this week:)

We hope you had a blessed Easter! He is Alive!!
