Hello from Malaysia

Well we made it here in one piece. The trip started at the grand hour of 3am as we caught our flight to Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific had screwed up the seating, so the 3 of us were not together as originally booked. Long story short, Mom ended up sitting with us in the front and Charlie was 5 rows back. Charlie will be able to fill you in with a far more colourful version!
We got into Hong Kong and quickly headed out to KL. Once we arrived we were greeted by Rose, Kira had no problems remembering her Grandma and was beaming at the sight of her. 
This is our 3rd day here now and Kira is slowly adjusting to the time and temperature difference. She is still waking quite a bit during the night, but she will usually fall back asleep within a few minutes. I'm hoping that she can sleep through the night again very soon because I am pooped!!!
Her crawling has improved a lot too. She is now "crab crawling" where she moves one leg and drags the other - too funny. But she is quick now! She is keeping me on my toes for sure.
Mom and Charlie have gone off to the resort town (island?) of Lengkawi for the next 3 days. I'm pretty sure that they will enjoy doing nothing but sitting on the beach in the sunshine. 
This weekend is James' (Jon's cousin) birthday party. I believe that he is turning 7. Then on Monday we are heading to Malacca to visit with the rest of the family and hopefully to have Kira meet her Great-Grandma. After Malacca we are hoping to do a trip to Singapore and Bintan (Indonesia), but we will see how Kira is doing.
I won't be able to post any pictures while we are here, but I will put some up when we get home on the 25th of November. 
Hope everyone is doing well.
