Discoveries

The last two weeks have been full of discoveries. Some good, some not so good.  

While Daddy was away:

Viber is better than Skype for getting connected on phones through wifi

The children's hospital - Jasmin's cold became bronchitis, and the clinic doctor just sent us to the hospital

 After he got back:

India visas are not awarded to people living in Malaysia on our type of visas.  Oops.  This means Daddy's not traveling to India at the beginning of March - and the tickets are probably lost as we try to rework the trip into July in order for us to figure out a visa once passports are renewed... Ouch.

Renewing passports has been made both easier and harder - 20 days for processing now! But 10 yr validity and easier guarantor qualifications almost make up for it.

Sliding down a leaf-covered hill is almost as fun as sledding.  It is the dry/cool season, and uncharacteristically there has been no rain at all since before Christmas. So the trees are dropping their leaves copiously, making it feel like Fall...

The local park does afford some stick house building materials despite being regularly swept clean, and Mommy has not lost her skills in building with such odd assortments of sticks and materials.
