Old blue eyes himself...

Kaya was very excited to be holding his brother. Especially since he wasn't crying!

Finally, a picture with open eyes. Yes, they are blue....for now.
Blue steel or is this Magnum? (Zoolander)

Day 2: Mamma and Kiran

Falling in love....
I had to check to see if this was Kiran or a picture from when Kaya was three days old!

Day 3: Nothing exciting to report, Kiran and the gang are all doing well in Bangkok. The Doctor wanted Sheela and Kiran to stay in the hospital for three nights. She couldn't turn down 24 hour care. It's amazing how much you forget about these little guys after being only four years removed from having the first. I couldn't for the life of me remember some pretty simple things.... For example: when changing a BOY'S diaper, make sure his thingy is pointed down!! Near miss today.

Kaya and I have been reading the Magic Tree House books that my Mom sent. He loves them and would sit down to read an entire book if I was willing to read that long. It would appear as if his major league baseball training will have to wait for another few weeks. Perhaps by spring training he will be motivated to commence batting practice. Maybe I will get him a book on how awesome it is to play baseball and that will inspire him.

The whole passport thing is going to be more of a process than we had originally anticipated. Apparently, you have to schedule appointments for this and the next available appointment is on January 6th, a week after we are supposed to have left Thailand! Fortunately, I have asked Santa for a time machine and I will make everything all better. Wish us luck on that front!!!!

Happy Holidays from snowy Bangkok!

Cool Papa, Sheela, Kaya and Kiran
