Sat-Sun, 15-16 Sept: We headed up to Waverly, seeing Mom's sister, Marcia, and her family, and getting to meet Grandpa and Grandma (and others). We also had a meeting of friends from Waverly Fellowship days, and Jayakar got to experience his first bonfire and tractor/wagon ride (thanks Bill and Sandy)! Then on Sun we had a big family get-together for many on the Juhl side. Aunt Peg even flew down from Alaska just to meet us! No, we didn't make Jayakar do a quiz on names or who's who.
Thurs, 13 Sept: Our trip over was long, but we were able to function, and never seemed to suffer jet-lag. Unbelievably, we arrived in Chicago one hour early!, and that enabled us to finish our work at the Indian consulate and go home rather than staying overnight in Chicago. Getting home that first night was a real blessing from God. We even got home in time to see the house in the daylight, and take Jayakar on his first country truck ride, and watch the sunset!!First days: Jayakar started learning how to do several things during our first days home, such as using a mower and driving American-style (on the country roads ). Dad also took him to his first store- Menards, of course! It was great fun to show him around- things in America are so different from India.
