WORDLESS WEDNESDAY-RELAXING AFTER A LONG DAY

Relaxing after a long day by watching her favourite songs on You Tube..

PUMPKIN PATCH

We had been planning to go to the pumpkin patch for a few weeks now but were busy with Jenna's party ... anyway we finally got to go yesterday..and we had so much fun.. Jenna got to see all the farm animals,the moment she saw the sheep she said baa baa baack chee (baa baa black sheep) and she was running behind chickens and ducks...but she was not able to go on the pony ride since she is too small for that ,maybe next time she would ride on it...we got a pumpkin home and im planning to carve it .We had a great weekend and looking forward for the coming weekend,since we are taking Jenna for trick or treat in the mall with other friends..

PHOTO FRIDAY- HERE SHE COMES!

PRINCESS JENNA ON HER WAY TO ATTEND A PARTY....

GO AWAY!COMMON COLD.. GO AWAY!

Go away.. big green monster ! is Jenna 's favourite song right now which is apt for the halloween season...and all i want right now is the cold to go away... Jenna seems to be ok with a little runny nose but for me its horrible... im not prone much to infections here but in India its a different story... i used to fall sick every month mostly infection of the sinus.. but after coming here i feel my sinusitis has improved ,only 2 infections in 3 years... good!Once i got the cold immediately i thought it was the flu...and that reminds me i have to get a flu shot this week...Jenna is yet to get her flu shot too...about the swine flu shot im still skeptical about taking that since there is a lot of story going behind it.. will wait until next month for that..

POST PARTY UPDATE

I have been in a post party hangover all this while and that explains the reason for my absence...so we had a great party.. the food was great.. Jenna was cranky initially since i had made her wear the ghagra choli which was a bigger size and she was tripping and falling while walking but when it was time to cut the cake and when everyone started singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY..she was so happy and flashed a big smile for the cameras showing all her teeth.. me and hubby didnt get to taste much of the food and cake since we were busy taking care of everything.... the kids loved the jumper we had rented and everyone said they had a great time and were able to eat well since all their kids were busy playing in the jumper... anyway everything went well and the party was a success.. not bad for a first time i would say..and we had so many friends who were there to help us out by bringing the food from the restaurant,cleaning the hall after the party and one of my friends had flew from Portland with her hubby took care of Jenna the whole time when we were busy playing host ...without them it would have been very difficult...thank u guys.. anyway it was a great night and im happy that everyone had a great time as well..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!

Last year,this time i was in the delivery room hooked up to monitors waiting for u to come after waiting for 40 long weeks but u chose not to come out by yourself and came only when they induced. After 5 hours of inducing and 2 hours of pushing u finally made the grand entry into this world ...little did i know then that u would change our entire life... you were the best thing that happened to me and i have been loving this role as a mom which u gave me and i thank God for choosing us to be your parents... u have taught me so much in life inspite of u being so little .... though i feel a lil sad that ur growing up everyday.. a part of me is happy to see u so independent and learning new things... happy birthday baby and as mommy says everyday i love u soooooo much,for which u reply ''MUAH''which is ur way of giving a kiss... nothing makes me more happy and that small word cheers up even my worst day.AndI hope i continue to do a decent job in raising u ....
