Introducing Shreya & Sahana Sheth...

This year's visit to Nehal's parents in Ohio didn't disappoint. Another wonderful week of summer in the suburbs. Ready to fly relaxing on the swing to ease into the day Daily swim outing Warm evenings perfect for BBQs Visit to Maumee Lake Mini golf - a new hobby Lunch at Shintos Nehal and I managed to enjoy a few (sweltering) days without the girls in the Big Apple. Catching up with family Exploring the High Line on what might have been the hottest day of the year Fancy dinner at Le Bernadin Little more casual at Gramercy Tavern rooftop drinks with an impressive view

We were really hoping this day wouldn't come but it was time to say goodbye to Raj, Liz and Owen as they moved back to the East Coast. Hopeful these three remain friends for a long time to come.

Great dinner at Kokkari, one of our old favourites, to celebrate my birthday

Shreya and Cesare were at Hip Hop camp this week  - here is their version of the classic Ice Ice baby!

Hard to believe that this little one is 5. I see a strong, confident, fun loving little girl emerging who shows no sign of lowering her volume! KG is going to be interesting! Happy 5th to someone who always surprises me. Decorations set up - thanks to Owen & Shreya for helping us! Birthday girl checking it out Dinner at Benihana (with every other table also celebrating a birthday!)

Taking advantage of the extra days off for the July 4th holiday, we took a road trip to Santa Barbara and Santa Monica. First stop in Santa Barbara - the hotel pool At the breezy boardwalk Celebrating my bday with some ice-cream On to LA and some time with friends  At the Cars ride - long wait but definitely enjoyable Biking along Santa Monica beach
