Will had his first day back to University Montessori today — but for only an hour and a half! Our good friend, Bela Singh, was in town for a short weekend visit. (Bela lives in New Delhi, India, so this is a Big. Deal.) We spoke with her husband, Mano, last week and made arrangements with Bela over the weekend to get together today. So, I dropped Will off at preschool, went out to Kenner to pick up Bela and visit with her wonderful brother, Deepak, and then Bela and I picked up Will at school and came back to the house to hang out. It was wonderful to catch up with her. 
I also got to talk to Chiya (Bela’s daughter) and hear all the news of all our beloved friends. We plotted for how we can get out there for Diwali next year (my ultimate dream). Bela also helped me make chai from loose tea leaves… finally, I know what I am doing wrong. (Putting the spices in too late and boiling too long.) We filled her up with our favorite Whole Foods cheeses, Louisiana strawberries, and Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Kettle Chips before bringing her back to Kenner to catch her flight home. Will was his basic monkey-self and had a great time running around and playing with us through it all. I am SO happy that we were able to spend some time with her!!! (Now we just need to get Raja to visit!!!!)
