East Coast Grandparent trip

We had a great trip to the East Coast to visit both sets of grand parents. Sarina loved playing with Dadi and Dadu every morning. She particularly liked making tea for Dadu and making sure he said "thank you" when she gave it to him. "Dadu, can you say Thank you?" Samara enjoyed her morning snuggles with Dadi!

In Toronto Sarina and Samara enjoyed playing in the backyard with Aji and Abba and going to the park. Sarina liked trying Aji's cooking even though she wasn't feeling well. She also had a ton of fun with Tanvi didi.

All in all a great trip. We miss you Dadi, Dadu, Aji and Abba.

July Tahoe Trip

I am just catching up on July photos now. We have been trying to make it to Lake Tahoe in the summers to enjoy the outdoors. This year Priscilla and Dan brought Helen and baby Keith and our friends Sheewon and Andy joined us. Sarina got to go swimming in the same pool she swam in her very first swim. Mommy got to celebrate her birthday with her family! Daddy got to bond with little Samara. Sarina and Helen played pretend all day long. A good time was had by all!

Happy Birthday Dadu!

We were lucky enough to be in Buffalo for Dadu's birthday this year. Sarina loved saying good morning to Dadu every morning and making him pretend tea. She always loves singing happy birthday and this year was particularly excited about the Sarina friendly ice cream and cake. :)

Here are some pictures and a video from the event...

Happy Birthday Dadu - we love you!

Cousin Reunion

the Vakil / Jain cousins briefly united... (they were happy despite our lack of ability to get everyone to smile at the same time!)
