Mom and Leah in matching shirts! We are so fortunate to live near a University that has a large South Asian Association for their students and for others in the area that are from or interested in the culture of that region. Andrew has a lot of connections through his work to people who belong to the group and they started including us for all of the events. We have been welcomed with open arms to the group and the Holi festival this weekend was no exception. Holi is a spring religious festival celebrated by Hindus. We had a great time visiting, dancing and eating great homemade Indian food! Leah got a bindi and everyone had colored powder smeared on their face- no actual throwing powder at each other- probably because it was in the basement of the local Methodist church! Here are a few pictures of our fun (and late) Saturday night!

So jealous that you have a group to join for festivities so close. Looks like you had a blast. Leah is looking so grown up!
