April 2021

We landed in India April 1st. Our friend came over with us and it was so much fun to experience the travel together and show her our city. 

A couple of days after arriving was Easter. 

I had brought some special treats from America for their baskets. 

We decided to order lego kits and split the pieces into their different eggs for their Easter egg hunt. It was awesome. Ezra's eggs were blue and Madelyn's were pink. 

3 days after arriving the kids started back to online school for their new school year. The timing worked out really well. Online school isn't as good as in-person but it will be a while until society is comfortable sending their kids to school. I'm just thankful to have the teachers teaching them each day instead of me. 

We had a chai tea party and introduced our friend to all our favorite snacks. 

The kids enjoying the golf simulator we brought back with us. 

I always love buying new plants. 

Madelyn also enjoying working with dirt and plants. 

We were so thankful to get back to work and meet with friends and partners. 

Some even welcomed us back with cake and celebrations. 

After months of riding electric scooters, the kids learned to ride their bikes without training wheels within minutes. 

Minigolf in the house is a favorite of theirs.  

We also started making pizzas on the weekend. 

The kids got lots of legos for gifts while in the States so we broke them apart, bagged them and packed them. Then, when we arrived here, the kids had plenty of lego sets to put back together. It was like begin gifted with them twice. 

While we were in the States we dreamed of the Pirates of the Grill restaurant. 

It did not disappoint. 

Cookie making with my little helper. 

While we were gone, a Hard Rock Cafe opened in town. 

More sweet photos with sweet friends that we were finally able to see again face to face. 

The end of April is Madelyn's birthday. We started the day with a stack of bacon.. her favorite. 

We had planned a big birthday party for her with all of our friends but the COVID cases began to rise and we changed plans for a smaller family party with our best friends who live down the street. 

Madelyn chose a Paw Patrol themed party. 

She was so excited for a tea party with her new fancy tea set with her best friend Nysa. 

Madelyn has really come out of her shell this year and has been so excited to go out with us to new places and people. 

After a hot days work, a milkshake is a great reward. 

We also started the kids back in their golf lessons. 

We love the Chocolate Room in town which has a lot of great food including fondues. 

April was a busy blur of reconnecting with people, getting into a good schedules and adjusting back to this pace of life but it was full of great memories.
