We flew from Vermont on Wednesday night to our son Caleb. He and his wife Sumana and their children moved here from California in March.



Sumana's dad, whom we call Serm and the girls call Tha (I'm Phuu), is here from St. Louis cooking up a storm – we are constantly treated to top-notch Thai food.






This Buddhist household has the tree in front of the family shrine, and boasts several Buddhas, including this cheery pink one in Lena's room.



Three generations of a world-spanning family, and a great way to start our adventure.
