Tiny feet tiny hands and a smile that melts all hearts




yep thts my baby for you !! all of 9 months and trying to stand by herself clinging to anything from sofa to our stairs .. cant believe it .. Today I made peas pulao; kathrikai curry (egg plant curry) and vendakai sambar ( okra sambar) .. and listening to my fav hindi songs ... been a while since I heard any mohd rafi and kishore kumar songs .. Of late I have been listening to tamil .. have to catch up with the hindi side of me also LOL

Yday was her first play date with her same aged friend (they live in the opposite house from us) It was fun .. I went in the afternoon and chit-chatted with her while the kids played around .. and did I mention, I have a baby scrap book where I have jotted down all of her firsts and captured all kodak-moments :))

The last 6 months have been very socially active .. been meeting friends at parties or potlucks or bday parties. The latest one was a park get together organized by desis living in our community .. was lot of fun indeed

Blogging is nice actually. Mine may not be the most thought provoking blog in the world, but it is mine to cherish .. helps keep memories and best of all ... helps me relive sweet memories when I read it and go .. wow what was I thinkinggg :-)

Craft project

It is a beautiful and clear Sunday morning as the three of us chit chat in the living room. It was time to jump into action to do what I love the most - doing creative projects. Archu had to decorate a shoe box and make a card for valentine's day as a craft activity. We used gift wrapping paper, scissors, glue, crayons and markers. Within minutes our craft idea was ready.. A couple of pictures for you. What surprised me.. Archu looked a me and said 'thank you amma' with a beautiful smile, and then gave me the happy hug !

Things I have learnt

I have learnt some valuable life lessons over the years and want to compile them so my kids can benefit. - Health is wealth, We realize it most only when we get sick. - Your spouse can be your best friend. -You are your child's hero. -Past is history, Tomorrow is mystery.

(Applies more so to women) - Your baby has one childhood. Relish it with him/her leaving no regrets. - Your parents love you the most, and you love your parents as much as they love you inspite of any past arguments. - Never make someone feel like they are less worthy than you. - Never show off, because everyday is not sunday.

USCIS - Most of us know what the abbreviation stands for

** Immigration Services ** Most of us in the US would have heard of this term at some point , I can guarantee it (at least for those of you who have moved from another country). I have been waiting for the extremely over rated 'Advance Parole' document. The name itself seems like some criminal seeking some parole .. wierd .. is'nt it .. Advance Parole (called AP) is a travel document which an EAD holder needs to re-enter the country. This is serious stuff people ! Finally I found that my AP has been mailed out and should reach me anytime. Thank you USCIS for mailing it, after the gazillion service requests and a trip to the local office and daily phone call for follow ups !!!!!!
