Today marks one year since we started our blog, we would like to thank all who not only read and respond to our posts but also pass them on to friends, family and co-workers.

Late last week in the midst of all our chaos Isobel finally returned home to the mission from Delhi where she has spent the last 5 months recovering from major spinal surgery. We are happy to say that all has gone very well and she is now able to stand straight, run, climb and play like all the other kids. Though she might require some adjustments in the future to her spinal brace the majority of the hard work is now over. We want to thank everyone who has helped out, written to and supported her and us during this journey the results of all of this can be seen clearly in the x-rays below.

In another positive note we are happy to report that the twins and Cynthia are also doing great. Saloni and Shavani have both now got enough strength and control to sit up, look around and have even begun to learn to hold their own bottles. Saloni has been struggling with a cough over the last few days but we are confident that she will get through it just fine.
