Sorry!

Sorry for the delay. We've been busy and have not been giving the blog the attention it deserves. Since we last posted, Jake got Dengue Fever, also know as Break Bone Fever. It's transmitted by mosquitoes, so we are being super careful and applying repellent EVERY time we leave the house. He was out of school for a week. He is now feeling MUCH better. He's been back at school and back in the swing of things. On Mondays and Wednesdays, Jake is taking Hindi classes. He's already learned a lot and has been practicing on Ruby whenever he has free time. Our weeks have been busy and the weekends even busier, but we managed to get out of town last weekend to head to Jaipur in Rajastan. Jake and I, along with 12 other newbies and their families, headed in two vans for a 5 hour drive towards the desert. We did some shopping, visited a Monkey Temple, saw the Amber Fort, and checked out some of the other sites. I'll post some pictures in the next post. One of our friend's shipments arrived yesterday. When we asked about the status of ours, we were told that India is experiencing it's worst monsoon season in 10 years and they did not know where our stuff is. I expect we'll get it in early October! We are missing everyone, but time is flying by so quickly that is it going to be winter break before we know it.
