India Roundup!!

Love this picture of my sister Sarah and her husband Xavier, who served in India for 3 months.  We were so happy to meet up with them before they headed home to NY.

 We've already been in Thailand a week!  It's seriously flown by!  But, I didn't want to "move on" from India without showcasing some of my favorite happenings over these past few months.  In no special order, here you have a condensed version of what Grace and my life was like over in India!  We leave with full hearts, dusty suitcases and wonderful memories of our time spent in Andhra Pradesh. Stay tuned for my new Thailand blog! Elephants, lemongrass, noodles, tigers, kids and more!
