So we're back. We've been here for nearly ten days, but it only feels like we've been back for the last couple of days. Life with two kids is hard enough, but add monster jet-lag, a three year old adjusting to a little brother, a very mobile toddler who's a bit confused at times about having been pulled from one world and into another . . . well, you get the idea. But the good news is, we're doing okay. Finally. Everybody's sleeping (mostly) when they're supposed to, we all seem to be bonding pretty well, and Arun seems to be latching on to us as his family. We're by no means done, but for the first time in a while, it feels like something sustainable, something we can build on, something that we can do. And that's a good thing. We even managed to get the Christmas tree up.

At some point we might get around to sharing stories of our time in India, but for now, I have to start small. Here are a few photos--enjoy!

Thanks for taking time for your public - great photos! In the airport shot of Evie giving "thumbs-up," is Arun trying to do the same?! Peace to your house! Mary Beth

Great pics; thanks for sharing. In the picture of Arun sitting on Evie's lap, he looks as big as she is!

Wow. I just keep thinking, wow. Hope to get to see everyone in real life rather than virtual life sometime soon.
