Cali baby!

Saanvi took her first trip to the west coast, to of course, our old home, San Diego.  She did wonderful on the plane there and back and we had a relaxing weekend with some wonderful old friends.    When we all came back to San Diego for our mini reunion, it was absolutely mind boggling to think how care free we used to live our lives, but now, only 2 years later, almost all of us had been married and/or had a baby.  The days of hanging on the beach for hours was now a 20 minute trip to a near by park.  Nonetheless, we still had a blast and still got to enjoy the amazing city of San Diego.  Why did we move again?

Just landed...at the San Diego aiport

She already loves Cali!

Saanvi apparently has 2 teeth now

The boys and the kids.  Devang and Nimmit, Neesheet and Suhaani, Summit and Saanvi

This is one of my favorite pictures...

I don't think Summit would be smiling if all 4 of these kids were his

Me and Nimmit

My buddy from Cali, Payal

Finally, the girls...Me and Suhaani, Mansi and Nimmit, Payal and Saanvi

Sleeping on the plane...just like we did when were kids

Should old acquaintance be forgot....Happy New Year's!

2012!

Oh my goodness, the year is coming to an end and 2012 is already upon us.  I always find New Year's to be depressing for some reason, although I still haven't figured out why.  I'm usually with family or friends, so I have nothing to be sad about, but I guess it's just the feeling of time passing by that saddens me or remembering loved ones that you I'm starting another year without...who knows.  Either way I hope everyone's 2012 brings health, happiness, love and in my case...an updated blog ;)  

Here are some shots from the first month of 2012. Happy New Year's to everyone!

My started out New Year's Eve at Stephanie's wedding (my best friend's younger sister). She looked AMAZING. Congrats Steph & Adam!!

Ok hands down, hottest mom of 4 children I know.   My blonde bombshell bestie Kimberly.

Kimberly's oldest child, Jada and I.

Me and my boo...second night out without the baby!

We came home after the wedding and put Saanu down to sleep, but first wished her a Happy New Years.   Let's hope as she gets older she wants to stay in and spend every new year's with her amma ;)

We then went to ring in the new year at Tarun and Kamy's...but of course, we can't end the year without tying up some lose ends at Premier Allergy...oh yes, we brought our work computer to the party. 

This is how crazy the party got....Kamy busted a vacuum. Man how our night's have changed!

This is how my sister rung in the New Year's...sick and tired.   All for a wonderful reason though....SHE'S PREGNANT!!!!! Poor thing had such bad morning sickness the only thing she could keep down was ice cream.  I am so  excited to meet my little niece...can't wait for August!! Congrats to my sister and Prakash, I couldn't be happier!!

Saanvi is 7 months old today!!

Saanu's first malu puja!

Saanvi remembering her Dada, Shailesh Shah on his death anniversary, January 9th.

Keya visiting from Wisconsin...this meeting was better than the first when Keya was scared of  Saanvi.

Crazy Nisha maushi

I stopped nursing at the end of January but my Saanu decided that since I wasn't giving her the goods anymore, she would suck on my cheek instead...a hickie from my baby!

Tarun and the girls...Simran and Saanvi!

Snob

Saanvi enjoying sitting with Harshaw aunty at the library despite the evil glare from her  super cute son Sahil. Btw...Harshaw is expecting 2 twin girls later this summer!! Can't wait to meet them! Hopefully Sahil learns to share his mommy by then!

Chillin' with Foi!
