88th Birthday - Creative Way

Ani wanted to make her grand mom's birthday a bit creative. She came up with the idea on designing a fabulous 88th birthday invitation, a blackboard fact sheet, finger print impression tree, cute cake with an awesome caption and a wonderful dinner. Loved it!

A Day Is A Blessing

Life is a perfect mix of happiness and challenges. Enjoying every piece of it(ignoring the unwanted ones), is a real blessing of God.

It was a long day yesterday. Work, home, birthday celebration - one of those memorable moments which gets added to the past.

Got up at 4:30 in the morning(which I never like) and dropped daddy at the central station(which I don't want to miss). Enjoyed a sip of tea from a near by shop on the way, bought a newspaper(usually never happens) and flipped through the main news, spent sometime walking in the near by park and drove back home. Wonderful morning!

A good smile is so powerful (like a medicine)and fresh. When Ikey gets up in the morning, he looks at everyone and smiles like he does it for the first time. It is from the heart and it touches everybody around.

Spent sometime with him at the balcony. He was so playful and vibrant.

What if everybody had these innocent baby smiles from the heart? No way. For us it is just another day to conquer(?)...

You will be missed

Ammama - seriously it was an early departure. We all miss you.

Looks Like a Banner? It's Nappy

I delayed this post for a very long time. It was so late that this became an action item in my To Do list, tracked  by Ani. And when Ani tracks it, it is recommended to finish this at the earliest for a good sleep :)

The picture above might look like a banner decoration for some peace related conference. So well arranged on a string and perfect triangle shape, there is nothing wrong if you think that it is for decoration :) Those are the nappies undergoing the usual washing process by Ani.

It is so comfortable to handle Ikey in the diapers. So comfortable that I don't have to worry about changing it every 6 hours or so. I can handle him so easier without fearing the natural leak every other minute.

And so when Ani came up with the nappy plan, I rejected it vehemently that Ani had a tough time to convince me about the benefits of using the nappies. Being a loving father, all those 'comfortabiltiy' facts lured me into using the nappies for Ikey. 

It is fun to watch how Ani treats all those nappy collection she has. She washes it every day and sun dry it like given in the picture. Once dried, takes it one by one, fold it so beautifully and keeps it in a stack. She loves to do it. Sometimes I even felt that it is her hobby.

This made my life easy. When playing with Ikey, all I have to do is to keep this nappy stack next to me. When he leaks, throw the old one to a bucket and pick a new one and continue. Washing, cleaning and drying all belongs to Ani.

I did realize the fact that how she makes my life easy now :)

Happy For Them

Owning a house is not just a thing. It is a miracle when God bless with the best of the things.
And I was glad to join my dear ones yesterday for their house dedication. Happy for them!
