Nothing like traveling as a family!

We have been travelling as a family for a good two and 1/2 months now...in and out of home...airplanes, trains, taxis, rickshaws, and a lot of walking. We have enjoyed our time visiting personnel in Varanasi, Delhi, Kathmandu, and Pokhara. I haven't posted any pics in a while...so here I go, trying to catch up on posting some pics..

The ever-so-joyful Sammy hanging out with some ceremic ducks at the hotel in Darjeeling this past week.
This is the hotel we stayed in for our cluster retreat---it was amazing! The weather was amazing...considering it is monsoon season. It was perfect! East Cooper Baptist Church came to lead us in worship---we could not have been more pleased with our time there!

The view from the hotel overlooking the city of Darjeeling.

Hannah digging in the pretty pool of flowers...10 minutes later it looked like a mass of leaves and dead flowers...ugh!

Sammy and Caleb (our good friends little guy) wearing the same shirt--so we thought we'd take a pic of these two cuties.

After our 3 week time in Nepal...we are standing at the border to cross back into India...where Hannah is standing. She was holding a stick, giving me a geography lesson.

Sammy passed out on Nathan on the plane ride from Kathmandu to the border...poor little guy is probably wondering where he lives at this point in his life.

Just a little tribute to Jackson---I found these Spidermen on the street and decided to get them for the kids....so, this is for you Jackson!

Sammy can win the heart of anyone...I'm tellin' ya, this kid is too sweet. This security guard at the airport just had to have a pic with him.

Sammy and Nathan on the Fewa lake, in Pokhara, Nepal.

A view from our paddle boat.

Who do you think is excited the most about this boat ride? : )

A snake charmer at the edge of the lake....so, Nathan took Hannah to see it..

I'm not sure she liked it....

The most beautiful place on earth....

The mountains will declare His Glory and Majesty...isn't that the truth!!! Praise His Name!

This is the first time I've ever seen Hannah go up to a stranger and sit down with them. She just sat down next to this lady and watched her make necklaces...it was too cute.

Hanging out with some good friends in Kathmandu...we went to the Hyatt to swim with Keane and Gracie. Aren't they so sweet.

Two sweet little friends.

Enjoying their new turtle bathtub in Kathmandu. I mean, really, what kid gets to have a swimming pool for a bathtub?? Only MK's.... : )

We stayed at a beautiful home in Kathmandu...we were so blessed by this family who went to the states for a few months and let us stay in their home. They didn't even know us! The Christian community is so amazing here... So, here are the kids and Nate wrestling on this fantastic comfy couch!

Back at the Hyatt for one last swim with Keane and Gracie...poor little thing doesn't want to put up the toys and go home...could you blame her, it's the Hyatt!

In Delhi at one of the awesome play places in the mall...nothing beats this in 105 degree weather!

Sammy, "hey, you're pretty cute in that pink dress, Joya." Joya, "thanks, you're pretty handsome with that dark hair and beautiful brown eyes...do you think we should ask our parents if we can get married?"

Oh Hannah...she is bored with this...and Sammy wants her to move so he can sit next to his girlfriend again.

All of us mommy's sporting our kids...just wait, in a few years this will look like a small crowd.

Above: Nathan and Joya...ooooh, isn't she the cutest thing? And Nathan's pretty handsome too!

Who doesn't believe in arranged marriages?

Packed and ready to begin this month long journey....

Hannah's hair has been growing wild over the past two months! : )

This little boy is a momma's boy....
