In case you haven't seen...I'm on Instagram. If you look on the right hand side of the blog, I'm often posting fun pictures of the kids there...so, if you want to keep up with fun little pictures of the kids, you can follow me there. I will probably stop posting a lot of these random pictures of the kids on the blog, so you can start following Instagram, and I'll put them there. It's much easier for me to keep up with.
But for now, enjoy this big post of lots of kids pictures!!!!
The zoo, right out our window--camels
And, this is how we check it out--hanging on the bars
And, their caretakers too
We aren't potty training, but when Parks saw these Thomas underwear, he had to wear them!
If you start reading to one, they all join!
One day Parks locked himself in our guest room
Jyoti brought out some English telling him to "open the door, Parksie."
Finally, her husband picked the window lock and had the idea of using our curtain rods
We finally got the door opened through the window.
Parks was hiding in the bathroom.
Gecko on board the pirate ship
Wint likes to sleep through church!
4 boys in the bath!
Jackson playing some tunes for Parks
Wint eats so good.
Silly Sam
Look at these two!!!!
Jackson has read all the Nate the Great books, except one because I can't get it here.
He's so ready to hit up the library when we reach the US.
Reading Boxcar Children on the Kindle
We tried to knit....fail for now.
Although she can kind of crochet.
Getting fitted for her own sari.
We have to go pick it up for her.
Watching videos one morning
Sarala has a hard time going to birthday parties.
She cried and cried not wanting to go to her good friends'.
But, alas she went and they had a horse to ride.
She had the best time and did not want to leave.
Wint has his own personal obstacle course
At the mall riding the train.
Cost--way too much
Parks' smile--worth EVERY rupee!
4 boys in the tub a little bit later
Wint now loves helping Jyoti in the kitchen
He's such a climber these days.
One day I couldn't find him anywhere--
he had climbed both flights of our stairs and was at the door of the roof!
I about had a heart attack!
Improvising with the ipad on a road trip
They were having a tea party one day....so cute, it made us smile!!!
They argue a lot, so sweet moments like this are incredible.
Stripes and Stripes!
I love these pjs on the boys. Somewhere I have a picture of Jackson, Sam and Parks, but I can't find it.
This little rascal!!!
Gray loves doing crazy things to make me laugh,
and I'm so glad he does!!!
My helpers in the kitchen
Sarala is making cupcakes and Jackson is grating cheese.
Sam is in the other room begging to help too.
This is his favorite spot!!!!
Sarala and her girlfriends
A sweet girl Sarala got to play with a couple of days.
Must keep our eye on him!!!!
Oh yeah, Jackson has lost his first tooth! Ahhhhhh!
It looks like I'm ruthless in pulling it....but notice he said, "That didn't hurt at all!"
It's just hard to get a hold of slippery teeth.
Gray was away for a week, and the big three took turns sleeping with me at night.
I love my sleeping babies....
Of course, we had a movie night too.
Sarala stayed up til I went to sleep
Parks understands everything we say, though, he doesn't speak clearly or a whole lot!
When Gray was away for a week, the big 3 slept in the bed with me. I saved my last night to work and get some things done, but alas, my smart boy snuck into my room with his pillow, blankie, and paci. He assumed it was his turn, though he's never done it before. I couldn't resist his sweet face, and I read him a few books and let him stay. That crazy boy didn't go to sleep til after midnight. He is our night owl right now!!!
Wint, being their baby
That's gross, Parks, playing in your yogurt!
These boys love some Mario Cart!!!
Sarala and her sweet friend playing dress up
Parks is growing and gaining weight, but he's still a little nugget!
Can't keep his pants up, but he kept playing!!!
Sleeping with his rattle
Counting down....it's now 2 weeks!!!
Jackson got some toe socks. He LOVES his flip flops and wears them everyday. His feet were freezing, but he didn't want to wear socks because he couldn't wear his flip flops. We solved that by buying him his very on toe mittens as we call them. Indian women wear them all winter because here it's not really cold long enough to invest in "winter shoes."
An old picture from monsoon season...playing in the water
These videos are HILARIOUS.
We found them later on an ipod. I had no idea this was going on.
Sometimes when we have meetings, we let the kids play ipods so we can focus. ;)
Enjoy!!!
Jackson talking with you!
More from Jackson!
This is my favorite!!!
Jackson and Sam being funny
