Congratulations!

If you are reading this, you likely got our Christmas card in the mail. We're so glad we found you and didn't lose track of you despite our perpetual lack of communication.

Since you've gotten this far, here's some recent photos of us to reward you for your efforts . . .

Rich almost always loves living in India, so much so that he bought a fancy sahib suit to prove it. He doesn't usually act this commanding, but I will say that he sometimes gets quite the ego trip out of being the sahib everyone waits on!
And here is Merinda, glad yet again that she married this fabulous man who never ceases to amaze her with his zest for life and tolerance of her in all her femininity.
And Isaac, big brother extraordinaire. He is such a good friend to Russell and Graham, always willing to help and boss them around when needed!
Russell, who tells me I am his best friend "this much" (with arms stretched out wide), is truly a great friend to all. He is more compassionate than most adults I know (including myself) and has a personality that has blossomed and surprised us in the past few months.
Here is our little Graham, almost always happy, ever adapting to new people and places, mostly tolerant of the cheek-pinching from locals, and stubborn and spoiled to no end. He's learning to walk, but prefers to be carried for now.
Merry Christmas to all! Thanks for being interested enough in our lives to check out our blog. Feel free to browse around and see some of the adventures and learning experiences we have had this year. If you get a chance, drop us a line at merindarich@hotmail.com.

In the words of Tiny Tim, "God bless us, everyone!" Well said, Tim.
