Foster's Rendition of Ring Around the Rosies

One of Foster's new favorite songs from school. Likely because it involves getting dizzy and falling down.

First Day of School

School years start in India in June, right after the end of the hot May summer. Foster officially moved to pre-nursery last week. Not only does it mean getting to learn more stuff and meet new kids, but it also includes a dandy new uniform. He looks so grown up.

And sorry that we are posting these so late Grandma Meagher, who I must say has been the most excited about seeing Foster in his uniform since she saw them on hangers at school last month.

Happy Father's Day

I am taking over the blog today, just to tell my Dad how lucky I am to have him. He is so patient and one of the best swim buddies I know. He is always there for me, whether it is to read a book or make oatmeals. One of my favorite parts of the day is when I get to sit and read the paper with you and eat peanut butter on toast. I look up to you and want to be like you some day.

Love,
Foster

More Assam!

Foster's favorite thing to do is to get to drive the car. He was so excited getting the chance to "drive" the jeep he hardly noticed all of the ladies who had stopped picking tea an stopped by to look at him.

Our room at the resort.

What an Assam weekend!

Last weekend we headed to the Northeast State of Assam, about a 4 hour plane ride from Hyderabad. A land of tea plantations, elephants and the protected white rhinoceros. We had a great time, although Foster was not up for the elephant ride. One day he will probably look at these photos and think--what was I thinking, I missed out on an elephant ride. These photos are courtesy Ashley and Omar, friends who joined us on the trip.

A Fort and mini Taj Mahal

We rounded up the day visiting a replica of the Taj Mahal the Bibi Ka Maqbara and the Fort, called Daulatabad.

Oops--this was from our trip back in April, but it never got posted.

And a tired little boy snags a nap wherever he can--such a good traveler.
