Before we went, Ganesh's wife Gita gave us a traditional blessing with some of the strongest tikka paint we've had in 2 years in India - it's still on our foreheads after a shower and a good scrub this morning. The whole reason for this festival, nine nights in total, is to celebrate the Goddess Durga (pictured below). Several of the boys I was c...

The Wixsons in India. Two music teachers from Minneapolis teaching at the American School of Bombay. Sunday, May 19, 2013. It's finally here - starting to get 'real' and starting to do the 'lasts.' On Friday the packers came and were done in a matter of hours. We've spent three years filling our apartment up with housewares, antique furniture, art, textiles, photographs, clothes - lots of clothes, baby items and more books that we will be able to read for the next year! Our global society feels very smal...

I've wanted to sit down and write every detail since that happened, but, as many parents know, life gets pretty busy with a baby! The hospital time was quiet, restful, sweet (they set up a...

We have a driver, allowing us to spend that time paying attention to Daniel (especially when he starts to fuss about being in the car seat). Most days, my schedule at school allows me to continue to breastfeed.

Kashmiri Sharbat - yes, I braved the ice cubes. Women seated on the street waiting for the Iftar to begin. Jordan contemplates the samosa and samosa-like egg rolls. Then the crowd grew as everyone moved through to get to other food stalls. We tried several dishes, mostly fried food so the evening resembled a sort of Islam...
