We had an amazing weekend. You all know about Madison's pen pal from India, Ruhee. The girls have been writing each other & sending gifts to each other for over a year now. A few months ago, Ruhee's dad informed me that they will be coming to the United States and taking a tour all over the country. We thought there may be a possibility that we could meet them in NY so the girls could meet one another. Well it worked out that since they have family in the US, their nephew was able to drive them right to our house on Friday night! They could only stay a short while but it was so nice to meet Mangesh, his wife Aparna, Ruhee and their nephew who actually lives 20 minutes from us. They came with beautiful gifts & books for our whole family! We had dessert & coffee, looked at some beautiful pictures of Ruhee, and even saw her perform a beautiful dance. What a wonderful blessing! Madison was so excited at this amazing opportunity & is now asking us when we will be traveling to India. Here are some photos. Some did not turn out as I had hoped...it may be time for a new camera.
Here's a shot of Madison trying a pose Ruhee was showing her from the dance she learned. I believe the dance was called Bharata Natyam. (Madison's face had me cracking up)
Here are some beautiful pictures of Ruhee performing her dance...doesn't she look beautiful!
And here's a picture of A losing her first front tooth! She was so excited and still can't stop smiling!

This was truly an amazing experience. It is almost impossible to get together with a penpal from the states let alone a penpal from across the world. We will never forget it.
Adrienne, congrats on losing your front tooth. My little girl is growing up. Don't worry about the tooth missing, you're still a cutie.
that was nice Chrissy
Love PaPa
