Welcome to Canada!!

Day 51:
We received a phone call saying the girls passports were ready......over a week early!! Great news.......so the day was full of running around getting ready to leave!

Day 52:
2:25am (technically day 53) we are on our way home!  The girls did very well on both plane rides, but weren't so happy arriving in Canada.  20 hours of travelling had kicked in for all of us!  Here is a picture of Nona with her grand daughters on our way to our layover in Germany. Although it looks like they sleep all the time, that is the only time I had a minute to take photos of them!! 

When we landed in Canada we decided to stop at a hotel and sleep for a couple hours before our long car ride!  Our family was very happy to meet them!

 

Delhi Day 38:

The girls are almost 1 month old! We got our DNA results today and went straight to the Canadian High Commission to apply for their passports!  Yes......Progress!!!!

Thank God Nona is here helping......we actually had a date night!  We went out for dinner at a new restaurant in the mall "b-bar"......very nice!!  Our plan was to go to the ice bar for a drink after dinner.....we missed the girls too much and were exhausted so we headed home and stopped at the ice bar on a Monday afternoon instead. The ice bar has 30 tonnes of ice that has been imported from Canada to make the carvings......Well, you would think "Canadians" could handle the -10 degree bar temperature........we lasted 15 minutes!!!!

Delhi - Day 29:

Makenna & Rylan are 20 days old today!  They are staying more & more awake. We haven't ventured too far with the girls but we did get a few sites in.  We want to get a lot of pictures and memories of where the girls were born.

We are still awaiting the DNA test results to move on to applying for their passports.  So we are enjoying our time together as Sandy will have to fly home to go back to work.

Enjoying some sister time!

 Nona & her grand daughters.

 Rylan watched Daddy have a swim.

 

Delhi: Day 26

Our girls are 17 days old and doing well!  Sandy is back & my mom is here and the girls are keeping us very busy & very happy!  We had a bit of a scare with the girls not eating well but all is good now and wow are they eating!!!

We did our DNA testing 2 days ago & are now in waiting mode.  Seems the Canadian Governement is changing things a bit and we are the 1st couple caught in the transition but everyone at the Canadian High Commission has been very nice to us but it looks like we will be here a little bit longer than originally thought.

Makenna & Rylan

Will post more often now that we are all here and getting in the swing of things!!

Week 36:

Babies are hanging on strong!!  We have been busy meeting Poonam and visiting the Canadian High Commission before my hubby had to fly back to work for a few weeks.....so I am solo for a while. 
Any day now!!!!  So now we wait until they are ready to greet us...the only problem is every time the telephone rings my heart is pounding in my throat!! ;)

We are in India!!

Wow, what a trip!  We are very happy to be here.  Today is all about relaxing.....we slept all morning/afternoon......well, Sandy did....I finished unpacking and arranging all the babies bottles, diapers, clothes, blankets & everything else we brought for them :)  The service here is great, the hotel we are staying in is attached to 2 malls, with every store and restaurant you can think of!  Sandy spotted the Hard Rock Cafe giant sign when we pulled up to the hotel....so he is happy!!!
