Been ages since I've blogged . . . and the longer I wait, the more important this entry becomes. But since most of my avid readers (okay, all two of them) have already given up to me, I'm probably just talking to the bits and bytes out there on the information superhighway.
Some random recent thoughts and news:
That crazy trip to Kashmir is really helping me think about my two new callings: Ward Emergency Preparedness Specialist and Stake Food Storage Specialist.
Poison ivy itches.
I have too many clothes and can't find places for them.
We brought cigarette beetles back from India despite all our best efforts to wave a permanent goodbye to them. Wish I'd brought Margaret and Poojah instead.
And the not-so-random-giant-huge-maddening-horrific-tragic news that I think has really kept me from blogging:
Poojah died September 3rd. How do I write about that? A life snuffed out by "fever of the brain" for reasons I don't understand. I had no ability to do anything and still can do so little. I miss her. I didn't ever really tell her that I love her. She was so kind, so gentle, so calm, so contented, so constant. She cleaned our floors and washed our dishes every day. For a while she was the only one who could get Graham to take a nap. She'd play with him for hours in the kitchen or the toyroom. Graham misses her. One of her last wishes was to see Graham, and I wasn't even able to get through to have him talk to her on the phone. I ache for Margaret, for Lakshmi, for Sunderaj, for Shiva. Their hearts and their faith are so tender. I pray that they can weather this one.
And the gorgeous-exciting-news:
Isaac is getting baptized Saturday. He made a prayerful, thoughtful, deliberate decision to do this, and I'm so proud of him.
And my iphoto doesn't like me today, so this post is just gonna have to do. There. I did it.

I'm so happy to hear about Isaac, my mom told me about your dilemma and I was so impressed at your & Rich's parenting skills. I'm glad you back in the blogosphere.
Yea!!!!! My favorite blogger is back. I have constantly thought about you this last little while. Have fun with the groups of people and too many clothes this weekend.
We love you!!!! Congratulations to IKE (my nephew not the hurricane)
I NEVER gave up!
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear friend. Those types of things seem so totaly pointless. Then you think for a moment, the Lord. . . He must have had His reasons. Not that I believe that we are "taken", but I do know (as I know you do too) that things happen for a reason. It's just that those reasons can be oh so hard to figure out.
My prayers are with you.

i missed you too but knew you would come around. i am such a hypocrite cause i am always checking my friends blogs waiting for updates but failing to update my own. no worries though cause that means i can relate to your little blogging breaks, besides you have had good reason.
i am so sorry about your friend. i often think that one of the main reason's any of us are asked to deal with death is to remind us that life is so precious as is time with our loved ones. cherish every moment. i love you, Min!
I read your blog! I really enjoy reading your thoughts about India and how you and your family are adjusting back here in the States. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I remember reading about her in your previous posts. I'm sorry.
Okay, so I know this is a little late. But I am so happy for you that Isaac decided to get baptized. We had alot of fun when we came and we had alot of fun at the fair with you guys.
Love you
Round Rock! We were just there two weeks ago. We are still here in Texas too. I need to get your email so that you can see our blog. Maybe we can get together at Ikea some time:)
