India 2012, Part 2

It's been about 10 days since we came back from our visit home and the kids have been asking to go back. Mika suggested that dada and mamma go on another trip to Italy "so that me and anna can go to India." The last month at appapa and ammama's house was a whirlwind of family, friends and food. The mantra "my cousins, my cousins" resounded through the George home as the kids had a 24x7 playdate at home. Other highlights included Mika's very pink princess party, cousins visiting from Chennai and auntys and uncles showering them with love, attention and presents!

India 2012, Part 1

Realize it's been quite a while since this blog has seen an update. Getting lazy, aren't we?

Here's the first set of pics from our Indian Summer trip, which has been quite the blast.

Class Parties

Both kids had last day of school class parties. Yohan's class went to a little place with tons of legos where they got to play and build. And eat cupcakes. Malaika's class went to a wild, crazy pizza/play place, where we mostly looked on at the hoards of kids milling around. Thankfully, pizza gives meaning to crazy play areas and class parties. We bid adieu to their first-ever preschool after two years there.

  

More cycling

We found a good flat space to cycle - in front of the church near our house.
