A little word from Ellen

Hello. I just wanted to say hello.

Here's what we know about Tess so far - serious thumbsucker! An ambidextrous thumbsucker. And a daddy's girl. If Luke walks from the right side of the room to the left, she watches him--her right thumb in her mouth until he crossed to the other side and then she switches to her left thumb in order to follow him. She's sweet and smiley. She, as Luke noted, started off as a great sleeper. We'll see how long that lasts. She is already getting seriously spoiled. She loves the Snugli and she likes baths (even though some of the kids don't since they've never had any). I think she's a curious kid. We think she's a bit constipated -- she has yet to, well, you know.

Note to other travellers: We flew Jet Airways to Delhi -- VERY nice!!!! I totally suggest it. It's weird. When you fly into the international terminal in Kolkata, you are met with a not-so-clean baggage terminal. It's not a very good introduction to the city for an international traveller. It also seems antiquated. Then when you leave through the domestic terminal, it's like what we're used to in the U.S.

New Delhi is very nice. I'll write a note about it later but have to run. Love to you all and thank you for writing. We are all ready to get home and settle in.
