Wonder

Today, 10 years ago exactly, the first of the cousins was born. Frankincense Graceola Ramesh (a.k.a. Frankie) - born to Sheba's older sister Daisy and Ramesh.

We celebrated with a meal tonight. But even more than thankfulness about having completed a decade was the news that came to us today that Frankie is going to become an older sister! Daisy is unexpectedly expecting. Wow did we ever jump when we heard that!

How deliciously grand to have another member added to the band of cousins! Enoch is already rooting for a boy (since other than Ashish he is the only male), while Asha is hoping for another sister (to go alongside Frankie, Joana, Anmol and Anjali)!

The news of a child gives you that wonderful moment, that little thrill of joy. With all the muck and mud around us we can find our eyes mostly trained in the dirt. Its good to look up.
