Shubo Bijoya

Hello everyone,

We've had a brief blog hiatis while I upgraded my computer, and all systems are back to normal now, so we can share a bunch of pictures...

Sonali recently started swimming lessons with her school pal Rory - Sonali and Rory have been at school together since age three months, and they are dear friends. Now, they are embarking on a new adventure together - swim lessons! Sonali really started loving the pool this summer, and we thought this would be a way to keep her interested during the winter. It's also good for her, in terms of fun and in terms of safety, to have strong swimming skills since we have our own pool. Here's a picture of Sonali and Rory after their first swim class together.



Nalini hasn't been swimming yet, but she definitely enjoys a good soak in the tub and a nice shampoo!



This weekend we also celebrated Durga Puja with our dear friends C, M, and R as well as J and S who were visiting from out of town. Although we usually go to a local celebration, neither one of us was brave enough to head out into such a large gathering with our newborns (Nalini is 2 months older than Rohan), so we had a wonderful time at C's house instead.



Shubo Bijoya to all of our friends and family!

In closing, I can't resist sharing a story that I overheard Sonali telling Nalini the other morning.

"Dear sweet Nalini, I was waiting so long for you. You were in Mommy's tummy for a such a long time! I missed you!"
