Here’s a really good video to showcase the International School of Beijing. We are really excited to work at this school and also have our kids attend this institution.
Christmas Carpet from Caron
Vincent insisted on sleeping on his Christmas carpet last night despite having to sleep on the floor. He just wanted to sleep on it. This cute little holiday throw rug was a gift from our good friend Caron. I think he’s been missing her lately. By the way, he joined us at 1:00 am! HAContinue reading Christmas Carpet from Caron
Thanksgiving at Home in Juhu, 2008
This was the night of the actual Thanksgiving date, Thursday, November 27. We had planned to leave for Lonavla on this day, but with the tragedy that was happening at this time, we stayed in. We roasted a chicken and had mashed potatoes and green beans. Luckily, we had made pumpkin walnut bars (the recipeContinue reading Thanksgiving at Home in Juhu, 2008
Mumbai, November 26th
Well, it hasn’t been the Thanksgiving we anticipated, but we all remain in good cheer here at the house. Despite the devastation outside, the kids are happy and excited to have the tree up. Christmas season is here! Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for all of you.

Baby Kiara
Last night Gizelle and her husband Vipul and her baby Kiara came over to join us for dinner. The kids were ECSTATIC to have some baby time. They just loved playing with her and watching her every move. She’s really sweet—as you can see!

Gigi was going on about how we are all different, and she knows this because she has a lot of “man-in-nation,” or in other words: IMGAINATION! Boy does she. It’s so fun to hear her get on one ofContinue reading Gigi Says….
Vincent Asks…
“Are all ladybugs ladies?” — Vincent asked this in class today. He’s learning all about insects. The teacher wrote us today just to let us know that she’s enjoying his questions and comments. There’s a beetle called the bombardier beetle—it shoots out poisonous gas from his abdomen. So Vincent told everyone, “Oh, like a bigContinue reading Vincent Asks…
Summer Memories
The other day Vincent was asking about the animal he saw with Uncle Nicholas when Amy and he took us to the beach on Long Island. He couldn’t remember what it was called… It was a HORSESHOE CRAB!
PostSecret
PostSecret This is a totally edgy blog that I found—actually through a book that I ordered for the library. I’d say the book is cooler, but the blog is pretty sweet too. This guy, Frank Warren, left a bunch of stray, empty, stamped and self-addressed postcards around the world. He encouraged people to write downContinue reading PostSecret
