Mother's Day hike!

Here are some photos from our Mother's Day hike up Douglass Mountain. It was a really beautiful day and a great hike! (good exercise, too, thanks to having a 20 pound baby on my back!)

Ray Ray (as usual!)

Here are a few photos of Ray Ray around Easter time (notice the easter egg headdress!). He keeps getting cuter and cuter, doesn't he?! Or maybe I'm just a bit biased!

Congratulations Cullum Family!

Just a quick post to say CONGRATULATIONS to Kyle and Michelle, Prema and Isaac on the birth of Eli Joseph! We are so happy for you all and the photo of your little man is precious! We wish we could be there to meet him....someday soon we will make it down there again! Youre all in our thoughts and prayers..we send you our LOVE!

The boys preparing for the first Yankees game of the season! (and Ray Ray learning to anticipate the flash!

Here are a bunch of random posts--I've managed to get behind....AGAIN! Imagine that!

This is Bip with........a doll we found at Aunt Jo's house that Ray Ray wouldn't go NEAR! (can you blame him?!)
This is a lovely picture of what happens when you over-stuff a baby! Seconds before this photo was taken, Ray Ray and I were sleeping on the couch, all snuggled up and cozy. Two seconds later, he opened his mouth and emptied his tummy on my shirt! Seriously the most spit up I have ever experienced--and Ray doesn't even seem impressed with himself!

SUSIE IS HOME!!!!!!

The one cute photo of Ray that was taken all day!
Welcome Home Susie! hahahaha
Abby with "The Head"---Ali was trying to take ugly pictures of Ray......
She succeeded!
Me and Ray Ray! (The red line in my hair is not blood--it means (in India) that I'm married!

A lovely close up of Susie's feet!
JOY!

This past week has been really busy and REALLY beautiful! Susie finally came home from Calcutta, India after being gone for five months. We all packed into a rented 12 passenger van (the only thing big enough to fit our whole family) and made the memorized trip back to Logan Airport to get Sus! Being back at the arrival gate gave us all so many awesome memories--especially Josh and me! It was always such an amazing time seeing each other again and coming back home-sweet-home! When Susie walked off the plane she looked SO cute....like a bohemian traveler dude. :o) She looked like she could have just walked off Sudder Street. She wore the same sandals that she wore everyday in Calcutta off the plane and they had holes worn through the soles. Her feet were black and "Calcutta-fied" (she actually didn't scrub them the night before she came home just so she could show us how bad they get!) She told us all her stories the whole ride home and it just made Josh and me want to go back! (Believe it or not!) She made some really great, lifelong friends and was blessed with TONS of beautiful experiences--The Dirty City will always hold a special place in her heart! Here are some photos of her arriving at the airport and of her "welcome home party" a week later! God Bless Everyone!
