Mama gets engaged

August was a busy month. Annabel's Mama was getting engaged to Julie on 21st August. Annabel got up early and got dressed in a pretty Purple dress.. We had got her some matching bangles and necklace to go with the dress. There were lot of ppl at home. She was busy running around playing with other little girls and friends. After the engagement reception, she went around collecting lots and lots of chocolates , which everyone offered her. She would not have eaten that many chocolates in a whole month!!

Anagha's Birthday

It was Anagha's 3rd Birthday and her parents had invited us over to their home for the Bday Bash! Anagha and Annabel are good friends as they go to the same school and are bus mates. All the children sang Happy Birthday song and little Anagha was thrilled. Then they all got so busy playing, none of the wanted to have any food.. Here are some snaps

At the Katraj Zoo

One Sunday, we along with another famiy friend went to visit the Katraj zoo. The zoo was huge, but the variety of animals was less.. There was White tiger, leopard, deer, elephants etc etc. Children enjoyed a lot, running around, climbing the rails and swings. After spending 2 hours, we were tired.. and also it started to drizzle, so we left the snake park and the reptiles till the next time.

Onam 2010

Happy Onam to all my dear Mallu friends!!
This year we had a grand Onam party at the Royestonea club house, thanks to Mini and others who organised the event. We had a pookalam, then Thiruvathira kali, Ona pattu, then an elaborate Sadhya and few games. Everyone had a great time. Here are some snaps from the event.

Mulshi Dam

One sunny saturday, we decided to go around some place near Pune. Jacob "googled" and Mulshi was top on the list for places to visit within 50kms in and around Pune :) We set drive aiming to see a dam.. we drove and drove, but there was no sight of any Dam.. Then we saw few cars halted and walked down to find this small waterfall and a little stream.. Better than nothing we thought and went into the water and took some Pics..

Chachoo's Special Day

Annabel dear Chachoo has now got engaged! We had a difficult timing explaining what was happening.. We tried to explain, Chachoo will be on the stage with your chachi. We will take photos and u will have to dress like a princess and that u will get lots of Balloons :).

Fruity Sundays

Every Sunday, Jacob comes back from the Shivaji market with a big loot of Fruits.. The variety is amazing.. Mulberries, Strawberries, Leechies, chikku, figs are some of the exotic fruits we have tried.. Then we always have pineapple, apples, pears, papaya, oranges, Mangoes and bananas of various varieties.. Annabel loves to have these fruits.. Leechies and mangoes are her current favourites.
