Ok...we can take a hint...

Apparently Sina and I have been on the road quite a bit lately.

Lots and lots of rain

Remember that day last week when it rained 16 inches in 12 hours? Here's Gavin living it up the next morning in our yard.


Right after this picture I took him to the tub and scrubbed him down - it might be our yard, but it's still South Asia, after all.

Halloween 2010

Sina has decided that since it's very much an American holiday, we should do our best to celebrate Halloween to the fullest. Ruby has latched right onto the costume part of Halloween. Here is costume #1 - Dora and Diego.



But why should a girl stop at just one costume? Here's costume #2.


Costume #3 was an Indian princess - as in India Indian. By the time she put that one on we were well into the church Halloween party we had at our house, and she was moving too fast to get a photo.

Meanwhile Gavin had moved on to his Superman outfit. Superman, by the way, must be some sort of eternal, universal truth. Gavin had never seen the guy before we found him this costume at one of the random clothing outlet stores here in Colombo. He LOVED it the second we put it on him, and he somehow knew it meant he could now fly, and he spent the next hour flying around the house.

Road Signs

Here's one for my mom.

Yet another Sari

The Ruby and Lindi Show

Just before Ruby's best friend Lindi moved to Australia, she came over for a big day full of fun, complete with princess costumes...



...a picnic in the yard with a campfire...



...and swimming suits and sprinklers!

A few photos...
