Visiting Shamai, Shapai, and Uncle Marlon

Yesterday evening we took Maya to her Indian grandparents' home. Shamai and Shapai were so happy to have her over. Maya was awake (it was just before her feeding) and alert. Shamai held her and fed her and sang to her in Konkani. Shapai is a little more wary of her small size, but soon he was singing to her and talking in the silliest language. Maya turns her grandparents to mush. Uncle Marlon soon came home and as soon as he took Maya, she calmed down and stared in his eyes. He has a very calming way with her. After our visit, we bundled up tight and headed out for the minute drive home.
