East to West coasts

We just returned from a great trip to Atlanta. We visited Libby's brother and family as well as a partner organization's headquarters. (Um, yes this is Ben writing; I stole the password from Libby.)

We've also enjoyed a few beautiful, sunny days at the Oregon Coast and now are here in Portland for 2.5 weeks that will be full of meetings with friends.

Shane continues to be a trooper and has done well on all plane flights, has great sleep patterns, and is healthy and growing. His fifth tooth is arriving as you read this!

More later...

Off to the beach

Soon I will be posting pictures from the last two weeks, two weeks where doing exactly that was almost impossible. I know, I know being in the USA, the land of plenty ought to make all things possible. But it isn't so, especially in our constant travels and staying in homes and places where getting on the computer or downloading pictures isn't always possible. Thank you for baring with me.

I was in Texas with "my girls" for one week, and before that in New Mexico sharing life with Ben's relatives. It's been a good time. We're half-way through our time in the USA. One more month to go.. we head back to India on Halloween Day. Today in a matter of hours, we head to the coast with Ben's folks for some get-away time. Mostly so the grandparents can have total 100% time with Shaners.. who continues to sleep like a bear in hibernation, eat like a starving child, and smile like the whole world is his and he knows it. And it is.

Pictures to come soon that involve a certain brilliant baby boy.
