Catching up

It seems like its been ages since I had a new entry…in my defense, it has been a rather busy few days around here.

Sports Mania

Last weekend it was all about sports. Saturday, Achachan went golfing with Anishchayan. He had a fantastic time. Thanks Anishchayan!. He was mentioning that if he continues to hit the greens often he would give Tiger Woods a run for his money. Sunday was the Soccer World Cup and Wimbledon finals. Soccer mania won over tennis craze and Aji, Sean and achachan went to anishchayans place to watch it on the ‘Big’ screen. Sean and Sarah got to play together both days. Even though they fight over the same toy pretty much every couple of minutes they are together they still have a lot of fun the remaining time. They played on the playset and took turns on the tricycle, did some coloring and enjoyed a popsicle. It was funny to see how they were navigating their way around the popsicle to catch all the drips. In the end we had 2 very happy kids with brightly colored faces.




Soccer Dad

Aji decided to adorn himself with the proud ‘Soccer Dad’ tag . So on Tuesday we went and got the Honda Odyssey. Aji gets to take it to work since he has a shorter commute. Sean absolutely loves the van. Even if he wakes up from his nap cranky, a trip to anywhere in the van is all it takes to make him his usual happy self. Rhea falls asleep the minute we pull out of our drive way and the major decision these days is ‘Who gets to sit on the last seat in the van’. Its a very comfortable ride for the person back there…the only catch being that it takes a heck of a lot of maneuvering to get there esp. with 2 car seats eating up a lot of leg space in the middle row. But we are all very happy that we can all go together. It makes every journey so much more enjoyable.

Shopping spree..

Yesterday after mass we went to the Leesburg outlet malls and Achachan and Mummy went on a shopping rampage. We spent almost 6 hours there. Rhea was a trooper and even though the heat was unbearable at times she was all smiley. Sean managed to sneak in quite a few rides on the kiddie fire truck. Both of them were completely drained by the end of the day. The shopping spree didn’t end there…Aji wanted to get the 50 inch plasma he has been eyeing for the longest time. So he dropped us off at home and he and Achachan went and picked it up. Anishchayan came over and helped unload and set it up. We absolutely love it. Now everything appears 3 times larger than earlier. We had WETA channel on and they were showing a program on Gorillas and it felt like we had King Kong in our family room albeit in a good way.
