Joni: I asked Rowen, my oldest, on her ninth birthday what she wanted to do. She asked “Can we go to a water park Mommy?†What a great idea! I couldn’t have thought of a better one myself since it’s been real hot here. I knew that we couldn’t afford to pay for one for [...]
I don’t know if I said this last year, but ONCE AGAIN WORDSTOCK HAPPENED WITHOUT ME! I have airplane tickets… but they’re going in the other direction. *weep!* This year seemed extra fun because they had STEM travel all the way from Japan with his Japanese band members. So cute! Man, that’s one show I [...]
A couple of us flew to Bombay for some meetings that had to happen. Thank God they let me on the plane at 8 months and I was thankful I had gotten a ‘fit to travel’ document from my doctor. It was funny to see the people at the ticketing counter looking at my [...]
This week I’ll be traveling to Mexico City for our appointment with the American embassy (baby paperwork), back to Cuernavaca for the night, and then hopping on a plane to Monterrey where we’ll stay for a few weeks so Daniel can help out with some art projects. Then we come back to Cuernavaca/DF and hop [...]
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
To right the un-rightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To strive when your arms are too weary…
If you can wait and not be tired [...]
This week our market friends donated so much papaya that after eating, drinking and preserving it in all the traditional ways we found ourselves putting papaya into the chicken sauce. That’s right, we ate papaya-pineapple-chicken sauce. Don’t ask me how the idea came up. It wouldn’t have occurred to me in a million years. It [...]
Today, my 26th birthday, starts midday, after recovering from lastnight…eh heh. A handful of friends organized a private jaccuzzi bubble bath party atop a condo in the city. We partied till sunrise, and when the day’s first light came up, it silhoutted the buildings, with a glorious orangey hue on the horizon.
After groggily waking up [...]
We have been planning a new project that I have wanted to tell you all about. It’s something dear to my heart, as it has to do with children and also with their education. In the month of June and July we hope to distribute educational packages to 50 schools in the states of Karnataka [...]
Congratulations David and Aurora on your new baby boy! The little guy looks just like his father (who happens to be my brother) and is such a little ducky! I guess with 20 days to my due date I can’t help but wonder whether mine will be a boy or a girl, (here is [...]
Yes, we found out a few weeks ago but haven’t had a chance to blog about it yet. Well, not much to blog about regarding that I guess but just the fact that we seem to have the “making baby girls” down pretty well–lol. It’s like I just knew what the doctor was going to [...]
