Jakarta

So after Bangkok we had to return to Indo's capital for 2 wks. to process our new letters of permission to stay. Here Elissa is trying to help Elijah sit up for his "oh so cute" pix :)

Now that we were official 'n all, we were able to get our driver's licenses...w/o a test, hmmm. And yes, there's 3 cards - don't worry Lij wasn't able to pass the hoops too, just J has to carry a separate car & motorbike license.

After waiting @ the license bureau, Lij had his naptime on the go...

We stayed at a team member's home during this time. They have this great bird that loves people. Here's E's trying to balance the bird & Lij continually leaning in to get a closer look, hence the "crained neck look!"

We took a trip to the local mall & Lij needed a nap so we used our Indo baby carrier as a portable darkness maker yet again...

Afterwards we caught a couple clips of a kids celebration day there @ the mall, too cute. Evidently these little guys had a basketball theme going on for their dance...

The teens on the other hand were...well, teeny.

Saw this sign in the mall & had to snap a pix:

With our "longer" stint in Jakarta, we finally started figuring out the busway, a big relief to our wallets.

While in Jakarta, we found out our friend Edo had passed away in a motorbike accident. Here's his wife Lois with their 1 yr old little girl at his burial site.

Here we are on the way to the hospital after Jah had thrown up quite a bit - why the pix you may ask? We were stuck in traffic & about to go crazy...! Here's to more of the "real" side of life!

Elijah also began learning how to sit in a high chair during this time - use #248 of our Indo baby carrier, tie Lij into the high chair. (clearly he's not that thrilled)

And to finish off, here's Lij all smiles & then gets startled by a noise & has a quick change of thought...
