In response to the overwhelming number of messages and emails and where-the-heck-are-you inquiries, I thought it much easier to just post a quick note to let you know that yes, the three of us-- Mommy, Princess and the Cheeks-- are still in India, and more importantly, yes, we are all right.
See?
Thanks for checking in!

ReplyDeleteHappy 4 months, Hari is 4 months today and has just been to the Dr's for more vaccinations.
ReplyDeleteYou all look amazing considering everything you have been through and are going through.
Best wishes
You are our favourite family!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's many of us out in blogland that all feel a special connection with you all, even though we may never have met face to face. I'm sure its no consolation when you really want to do is go home, but you are an incredible family setting a wonderful example for us all. And for all that we love your witty and informative guide on all things India, becoming a parent the hardest way possible, practicing patience to the extreme and (most importantly) how to wear a sari and look simply fantastic, I can't wait to see that special one that says "We're Going Home". Would love to meet you when we come over in a few weeks, but would love it so much more if you had already made it home :)
Thank you for being a part of our lives.
Good on you Bernadette!!! Still staying strong and keeping us all up to date - we are with you all the way xxxxx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are making progress with your way home! We would pray for your safety return ... Kisses
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see your post - wishing you well and hoping you will be able to get home soon!!! Best wishes, K&J
ReplyDeleteP.S. where is this church?? In delhi? Thanks K&J
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is ok. We were starting to get worried. My wife was starting to panic and have withdrawals. This blog was one of the main reasons we decided to go this route and she was getting worried about you and the little ones. I'm happy to report we are in our two week wait so tell Princess and the Cheeks to keep their fingers crossed. ;)

Hayden is looking good! In that second to last picture of Scarlett, it looks like she has inherited mommy's love for shopping!
ReplyDeleteI was SO SAD when I tried to "visit" yesterday and the blog was private. I am thrilled to see you back. I have been following for a long now and I wanted to see you home!!
ReplyDeleteSO GRATEFUL you did an open post again.
ReplyDeleteI was purely terrified something awful had happened to Hayden. Or, that some troll had been hideous to you and your family.
I hope so much that it will be possible for you to continue to post openly so we can all breath out in relief and joy when you 3 get home and are 4 in the same room!
Your children are part of the miracle of love and hope for our future as a country and world. You have shared so much hope for so many people.
You and Duane have also demonstrated love and parenting and patience in the face of adversary and are a testament to the good medicine practiced in India. And the kindness of everyone you have encountered on this adventure.
Your world and your family's world should know only joy and kindness and... come on Hayden... good health.
THANK YOU for saying you are all ok. Breathing again. Panicking worries relaxing.
Scarlett and you are beautiful as always and Hayden is growing and still has the finest checks in the world.
An old CA grandmother who cares so much for all the babies and their parents. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
PS: THANK YOU also to everyone who was able to reach out to Bernadette and tell her about out concern. You strengthen this community and I appreciate you VERY MUCH!!!!

I am not sure if I have commented before but I have been following your journey since the beginning of this journey. You are your family have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot recently. I am sure it is so hard to have the distance between you and your husband. You are such a strong women and I will be celebrating with you when Hayden is well enough to be travelling home, and you can be reunited and starting the rest of your journey as a family. Hugs.
