We took it easy on Saturday...let's be honest, you can't describe living in a hotel with anything other than "taking it easy!" So I'll rephrase, we took it easier on Saturday. During the week, our mornings consist of Isabel and Paul getting up and heading out for breakfast while I get ready and feed Judsen his breakfast. When I'm ready for work I do the hand-off of Judsen to Paul, grab a granola bar and a tea from the lounge and I'm off to work. So I will look forward to Saturday's here just like I look forward to them at home; no one's running out the door in the morning and we can enjoy the morning at a more relaxed pace.
So this past Saturday we ate all ate breakfast together. As I sat and watched Isabel eat her roti and jam while playing on her LeapPad, I couldn't help but think about the obvious; just how blessed she really is. On the way to work last week I watched as a mother bathed her, what looked to be, 3 year-old daughter outside their humble home with a bucket and water from a well. As Ghouse and I drove by, tears filled my eyes - how very blessed beyond measure we are. It's difficult to find the words to describe the feeling but I am very, very thankful.
Isabel and I decided to have a bit of a "girls' day out" and headed out to the mall. I wanted to check out the floors we didn't get to on our first visit. Isabel was excited to leave the guys behind and have a little time to ourselves.

Isabel had a lot of fun pointing out all the pretty things she wanted...in particular the shoes.
Took a lot of effort to convince her to continue on from the Barbie Store!
This one made me smile - came all the way to India to find a Canadian company for the first time
Those who know Isabel...and me...know that this caught both of our eyes.
This one's for Michelle - not the KFC, but the Pizza Hut
Judsen being Judsen - happy and a joy
