lost in translation

my precious Indian husband is recovering from a broken ankle.  he was rescuing our front porch from starring on the next episode of HOARDERS and fell with a mighty crack.  this morning I saw him sneakily crossing his legs on the sofa and I shrieked, "don't sit Indian style"!  he looked up guiltily and said, how should I sit?

LOL

we say farewell

we said good-bye to our good friend Sandeep - he is headed back to India, but he will return to these shores again, I just know he will.  he is off to his next adventure . . . .bye Indian son

your brother in hats

my beloved loves hats, not all hats, just certain types.  he won't wear baseball caps, truck driver caps, cowboy hats, driving caps, Austrian alps yodeler hats (think Captain Von Trapp, "So Long, Farewell"), tri corn hats, Wee Willie Winkie night caps, ( a little night before Christmas here), do-rag, kerchiefs, Peruvian knitted caps, Elmer Fudd flap caps, Bolivian Bowlers, top hats . . . do you wear hats?

a hair don't!

abigail styled adam for this shot - what are cousins for?

Memorable Memorial Day

And then a little dinner at Spaghetti Factory!

We had a fun Memorial Day with the family and just spending time together!  We went to my mom's for breakfast with Shawn, wendy and the kids.  amber was supposed to be there but she slept in - the bum!

Check out our fun and frolic

girlzzzz

I watched ellie, bethy and spencer saturday night!  we ate pizza, drank rootbeer, saw Princess and the Frog, but the hit of the night were the pop guns we dug out of the basement!

Venkatism

my beloved and I were squabbling over something last weekend and he told me I was comparing apples to orange juice!

A faint memory for me

her 39th birthday face!

ahhhhhhh to be 39 again . . . my sister Shireen will turn 39 tomorrow - my mom made a family favorite, checkerboard cake - all from scratch.

airport virgin no more!!!

my beloved took his first trip to the airport since receiving his green card!  this is the face of a man who feels confident anywhere!  we went to pick up our darlings, Jessica and Nate coming in from Hawaii, lucky dawgs!

All shiny and brand new!

Does this look like the face of a man with a brand spankin' new work permit?  YES!!!!

Sacrifice

My beloved hates the cold weather.  He is South Indian, can you blame him?  But every morning, he runs outside to scrape my windows and warm my car, and this morning wearing his coat and a towel, was no exception!  Now that is love.
