Christmas 2012
This was our first Christmas at home with Luka. I woke up around 8 am and got this gorgeous shot of my loves cuddling. Luka woke up & was very excited about Santa arriving & eating all the cookies he’d…
updates
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
This is Luka’s first year in the Northern hemisphere for Christmas, so we are catching up on all of our traditions: Christmas tree – complete with homemade felt animal decorations, Christmas lights, a visit with Santa himself, ice skating, sledding,…
A farewell to India, until we meet again
We are leaving Dharamsala later this week and heading to Kathmandu for Christmas and beyond to be with Uncle David, Auntie Miyoko and cousin Marisa. We can’t wait to see them and spend some time in Nepal, but are also very sad that our time in India has come to an end. Dharamsala is such […]
Fabulous Goa
We had a fantastic time in beautiful Goa. The best part was that Uncle Tony & Auntie Patricia came along! It was a bit of an arduous journey to get down there from Dharamsala–8-hour car ride to Amritsar, Flight to Delhi next day, flight to Goa day after that. We were VERY happy to spend […]

The Intrepid Travelers!
Uncle Rob and Auntie Cyndi, the most intrepid travelers that we know, arrived in Dharamsala last week after flights from SAC–>LAX–>PEK–>DEL–>KTM (one week’s stay with the Nepal Freitas’)–>DEL–>12 hour car ride…and finally arrived safe and sound, albeit quite weary. We were so impressed and thrilled that our Sacramento family came to visit us in this […]
Some fun in the sun
A few more pictures from the last few weeks…post-monsoon, the weather has been incredible! We’re trying to explore and be out and about as much as possible before the cold sets in. The peaks above us are already covered with snow and there is a chill in the air, but I’m so not ready to […]
After the Monsoon… Autumn in India!
We have moved into the fall here, and have really enjoyed being out and about during the warm late September and October. It is a small respite between endless rains and muggy summer, and the frigid winter that is to come. Being out more, means running into more animals in the wild, as they too […]
August in Ireland
A blast from the past which seems like so long ago now, but finally some pictures from our Ireland trip in August! We decided to break up the long flight from NYC –> Delhi with a two-week stopover in Ireland with Grandma Dede. We rented two farmhouses–one in the rolling sheep pastures just outside of […]
The Nepal and India Freitas Families Unite!
We were thrilled to have a visit from Uncle David, Auntie Miyoko and sweet cousin Marisa. The Freitas/Koike family is posted in Nepal for two years for David’s job with the Foreign Service. I can’t tell you how nice it was to visit with family on this side of the world! Eliza and Marisa had […]
Incredible India!
After a very long hiatus from the blog…we are back! We’ve been in India for three weeks now, and are feeling much more settled and …
West coast travels
We had a blast in California a few weeks ago–spent fun times with family in Sacramento and friends in Davis and celebrated the 90th anniversary …
