Josh crazy. Melissa tired.

Traditional Baby Shower


A department at the hospital surprised Melissa with this special party

Friends and Vacation

Little Bengali friend singing a song

With friends

Priceless smiles

Sisters and Friends

Walking along the tracks on Melissa's birthday

Josh and I had a week long vacation in Darjeeling

Hiking around town with our umbrella

Rainy season in Darjeeling was nice and pleasant to us

The botannical garden that took us a couple hours to find!

Beautiful tea garden grown on the mountainside

The scenery was incredible because the mountains were so steep

There were all kinds of beautiful varieties of flowers growing in the lush climate

Josh by an incredible waterfall that rushed down the mountainside
