Well, the story goes something like this.....after days of hold-ups, tie-ups, local holidays, US weekends, Nepal weekends (as the two countries celebrate them on different days) riots (with tire burning and chanting), and head honchos's taking personal holidays (of which a 2 day holiday turned into 5) it was time for the "Official Paper"to be signed (the legal document tying Suresh to Rick and Tanya forever.....).
Time ticked as we waited outside the ministry's office waiting for the text message, as everyone has cell phones in Nepal, telling us - "NOW, come as quick as you can!" Auspicious, perhaps, as the message came so did stink from Suresh.....Check out the "Master", as Tanya calls herself, changing this one!!
Twenty wipes later, Suresh naked under his Carharts - due to diaper change, Rick jacketless - due to diaper change....It became official January 29th at approximately 2 PM (Nepal time) Rick and Tanya officially became Suresh's parents.....!!! Tears were shed.....!
A HUGE thank you to Shivaji and Anar for ALL of their patience, thoughtfulness, and help through the whole process.
And don't worry!! Suresh and I have had plenty of time to bond, time to fill him in on who is who and what is what, and time to teach him some of the famous Lynn-ism's! He already is saying "Dah!" Now, if I can only get him to play the air guitar!
So, there you have it....
Welcome to the Village Suresh!
