Warning - Heart Melting Image Ahead...

All Home!

We are all home today since we have another significant snow of this season and we are loving it. It was SO fun to play with Sara in snow. Her enjoyment was evidenced in her constant giggles and happy face. Again, absolutely Heartwarming. Love you my bacha!

Funny Statements

I want to document some funny statements that Sara has been using lately:

1. After she is dressed up, she will say "Jab Hannu (her friend) aayega, to bolega 'Sara kitni achi lagti'.
2. Daddy, you so silly!!!
3. If she is scolded for something, she'll say "Mommy, I am sorry - mujhko yaad nahi riya'.
4. She will wear her boots everyday, and say 'Oh, I look so prefect!!!'

Office

Sara set this up on her own this afternon b/c she said she needed "a place to work." haha! Cozy little home office, isn't it?

It looks like she used the Dora car for carpool. She built her cubicle wall from toys that were laying around. She used the center table as her pretend desk and this time she puts her old laptop. She placed the chair in between and pretended as if she is actually working. haha! This girl cracks me up.

Today I became Mausi!!!

Today I became a mausi!!!! My sister, Lovy, was a superstar. There are no words that describe just how happy I am for her and her new family.

I'd like to introduce my neice and the subject of many future blog posts...

Awesome Baby Quote

I read an awesome baby quote today that I wanted to post before I forget:

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."

Special Moments

I treasure these days that Sara likes/needs to be held. It's time for bed, and we are more than happy to give you cuddly good night wishes.

Who is this Big Little Girl?!

It's a cold day and sara is her usual...fun and making me laugh. She wore an indian suit today; so I wanted to take her pictures. Then I looked at the pictures and thought, "Who is this BIG girl?!" Oh dear, my baby is growing up too fast. :)

Stickers

Sara thinks that stickers are the greatest thing right now. Below are some pics of her creativity with stickers!

Family Photo

We're getting better in the quest for a good picture of the 3 of us. Today we sat n our living room before we left for the party.

Matta's Visit

We haven't seen our DC friends since October of last year! We so do wish they still lived here! Partially because we miss hanging out with them and having great times together, but now too because we realize what great times our children would have together! Sara interacted so pleasantly and sweetly with Nikki & Kisna. They all played so nicely together!! We had another really awesome visit...Love them all!

 

Fun with Letters

We bought alphabet stickers that sara now uses to write words, She loves using these stickers to write words like 'Sara, Dog, Cat, Hen, Bat.....and many other'. This evening we wrote more than 5 words with her and she was having a good time. :p

Morning Cuteness

I was trying to capture the cuteness this morning. These pictures do not do the justice.

Desi Girl

Sara always enjoy indian dresses so much so, that even though her saree is small, I had to get her picture in this adorable outfit. She looks so pretty in her dress.

Cleaning up Christmas

Even though it's only few days after Christmas, we're taking advantage of the extra hands we have around the house and taking the decorations down. Sara's little hands were counted in those extras cited above...she helped Ashu mama & Daddy as best she could.

Doesn't she look like such a big girl??? Cutie!

Sweetkid @ Bensi

We went out for lunch this afternoon to Bensi- yummy! I thought Sara was going to melt down a little bit, but she was fantastic! She was happy as a clam! A pizza-eating clam...we introduced her to the Margarita pizza, and she's hooked like the rest of us. :)

BTW, during lunch she was using Vishal's iPhone to take pictures and this was what she said which I thought was cute:

"Daddy say cheese, smile"
After taking Vishal's pictures she said "Ab mein food ki pictures leti" But mommy food to smile nahi karta!!"

Mommy Mobile

As we are looking ahead to our future family needs, we noted that we really need a new car...so we got a mini-van. Just kidding!

We began looking in October end and on Christmas weekend were really just continuing our research. But lo and behold, those "Christmas Day sales gimmicks" were just too irresistible. We end up getting a great 5 series BMW and now have a new Mommy-Mobile. We picked the car today and it is super!!!
