Hii people,

Hope you are doing fine.Its been a while since my last post..NaBloPoMo is over..but my mind is swarming with posts.but I am just trying to get on with two days in 24 hours..so its crazy busy time.

We leave for India in less than a week..yess..an unexpected India trip again! so,yayy..but this time,I am not super thrilled about going..I mean,I could easily wait a few more months,before craving a vacation!LOL!

I still havent started packing..the house needs to be cleaned before we leave..I hope I can finish all that,I want to!

And along with that,suddenly our evenings and weekends are super-busy.This weekend started on Friday morning with a friend coming over to spend the day,then,Ms.Aadya  went over to her place for a sleep over..HER first OFFICIAL sleepover.WOWW my baby is all grown up!She had a good time and enjoyed her sleepover,while we sulked! LOL!! yes..we sulked..that our baby is AWAY! yeah we are crazy like that. A dinner and a potluck lunch and the weekend was over,in a blink.

While I go and try to pack,may I offer you,freshly baked Mocha walnut Brownies??Yeah??Ok dig in:

risky business!

 

I was baking a cake,some multi-grain crackers,knitting,talking on the phone.When it was time to check on the crackers,the phone was still cradled by my shoulder.And this is what happened!

Please send me your addresses and the color preference once again,so that your birdies,can be on their way!

Thanks everyone for participating in this giveaway!All your comments are very precious to me!

I have to write this DOWN!
Today,a friend came over with her 9 month old.We had a nice time..and when she was leaving,Aadya gave her kisses and cuddles,kissed her FAVORITE baby in the whole wide word a thousand times and then waved good bye.
And just as she was about to open the gate,my little angel said,"Thanks for coming,Madhu Masi"…OMG!!we looked at each other,and our jaws dropped.She left the baby’s stroller by the gate and ran back to hug Aadi.
I cannot tell you how happy I was.This is the first time,she said it on her own,without any prompting.
And as I was typing this email,I realised that we have never taught her to say,"thanks for coming".Not that we don’t want to ..but its just that,whenever someone is leaving,she is too busy crying..that she doesn’t want them to go away..so,this was definitely a first.
I am soo soo proud of my little girl.I know for sure,that I didn’t know/think of saying this even when I was 6! hehe..it was all about "bye aunty, bye uncle" run back inside to play or dig into the snacks,that were served for them:D
She is surely a charmer!
