As I was feeling under the weather today, Nehal took the girls to Tilden for a gentle hike. He didn't manage any photos on the hike but here are some of the picnic which followed including cake for Nish's birthday!
This afternoon we went to Shreya's school for their fall festival - games and fun in the school playground and a chance for the parents to get together. Here are some pics of Shreya with her pal, Mateen, as we headed to the festival.
Shreya has been enjoying helping the kitchen more and more and in particular making milkshakes with her dad. Sani continues to enjoy eating and watching.
This afternoon I took the girls to a visit a friend's house for ganpathi. The girls and I dressed up in our Indian clothes but sadly I only managed to get a photo of Shreya. Still working on smiling in front of the camera.
Shreya is a big fan of kettle corn and Nehal has somehow convinced her that he makes all of it. We've stocked up on it in the garage and when Shreya saw the bags she said 'Wow daddy sure must be tired after making all that popcorn'.
The latest addition to our toy collection is a trampoline and the girls love jumping on it, especially Sani. We are using it to practice taking turns - a new concept for Sani. Clearly smiling for a photo was too much to ask for Sani looking pleased with herself after booting Shreya off
This morning we visited our friends, Moira and Brian who are now a family of 5 thanks to the arrival of baby Jack. Sadly we didn't manage any photos of Jack as he was sleeping peacfully throughout the visit but here is one of the older kids together. Sani, Shreya, Evelyn and Andrew
