I’ll be introducing a new element to the blog (hopefully) this weekend and improve it quite soon.  More on that in a later post.  I just wanted to make you guys aware of it and build up a bit of anticipation for it (even if it’s just my dad ).

The Week in Review

Isha: This was the first full week with our new nanny who we’ve gotten to take care of Isha since Neetu’s mom is in India for the next few months.  The first few days were a bit tough, Isha has started recognizing people and so it took her a bit to adjust but it’s all good now.  Neetu’s maternal instincts kicked in early and she had a little bit of a tough time adjusting to what is essentially a stranger taking care of her baby.  The nanny is doing a great job with Isha and week one seems to have been alright.

Neetu had a lot easier time adjusting to the food the nanny has cooked up this week!  

Monday: Shahi Paneer;
Tuesday: Rotli Shak
Wednesday: Dosa!!
Thursday: Andhavo (Lunch); Normal Fare
Friday: Normal Fare (Rotli, daal, shak)

Riya had a big week; she had to get her vaccinations, four wonderful shots in the thighs.  You should have seen her walking around like an old lady because her legs were hurting.  She did really well working through the pain, having a goofy daddy that you want to chase around helps with the cause.  Of course the first thing she said when she got the shots was “MOMMMMMMMY! I want MOMMMMY”; I suppose some things will never change.

I am not sure if many of you know but Riya was in a commercial for a local indoor soccer place for kids! The commercial was filmed last year (embeded below) but the reason I bring this up here is because her daycare teacher asked me “One of the other teachers just told me that Riya was in a commercial is that true?!” How cool is that!

Snehal: It’s been a quiet week for me (I’m going to ignore the basement flooding and count that into last week).  Had a great time over dinner with some of my friends from the tennis team on Monday (Robert/Chris and their significant others).  Fine food, wine and great company are the best of things.  Speaking of wine, Sonia has introduced the family into a new tradition of having a glass of red with dinner and we have obliged for the most part!  Having Sonia around is a lot of fun, she like spicy food, desserts and helps make fun of Neetu at times; I couldn’t ask more from a sister-in-law.

That’s all for now..wow that was fun and hopefully there will be one next Friday and not a Friday three months from now!
