Great movie. It is the story of a woman who immigrates to America from India with her husband shortly after they are married. The movie also focuses on their oldest child as he is growing up and how easily he is swept up in American culture without even realizing what he was leaving behind.

Okay, okay, I know I said I was going to take a break from reading her books, but this was the one that came in at the library, so I read it. I am learning that this author doesn’t always like to wrap things up nice and neat at the end. Sometimes that bothers me, but it was okay with this book. It is a story of Paige and Nicholas who are from different sides of the tracks, but both have their own skeletons/issues that they bring into their relationship. The reader is left at the end not really knowing where their relationship is going.
We signed the kids up for a few weeks of daycamp this summer at their new school in hopes that they might meet a friend or two who they might recognize on the first day of school and to also just help with the transition. Today was their first day. We got there a little early so the boys had time to play on the playground before going to class. That was great. There was no Colm clinging to my leg, which I was a little worried about; off he went to play on the playground without even looking back. They also gave a glowing report when I went to pick them up. Liam has made a friend (who is a girl) who likes to play Star Wars as much as he does and Colm told me about a quilt he made with patterns. Colm also was very proud of himself because he got to take his lunch in a lunch sack like a big boy. He thought that was pretty cool. 🙂 Huge sigh of relief from the parents.
