My kids scare me sometimes!

I was watching Amazing Race last night. This morning, as I was driving the kids to school, Raffae gave me a scene-by-scene description, along with the exact lines spoken by the different people on the show. He remembered everyone’s names, which team got to the finishing line in what order, everything! I’ve been watching the show diligently as usual, but I still don’t know everyone’s names!

Yesterday, I was sorting out the Baby Einstein DVDs that Zoya loves to watch. We have 10 -12 DVDs. So I had all the DVD boxes and all the DVDs in front of me. Zoya would pick up a cover, look at the animal picture on the cover and tell me “Mommy, can you find green?” - meaning that specific DVD has a green border!!!!!!!!!!! She was correct every single time! Good God!

I wish I had memory like that!

  • Raffae and Zoya made new friends





  • I met up with friends: old and new.




  • Zoya grew an insatiable appetite for apples!




  • Raffae's accomplishments:



  • Did loads of stuff with the kids



  • We traveled to visit family and new places



  • Had good food!!!



  • It was GREAT to have my mom here with us!




To all the important people in my life, wishing you a wonderful year ahead.
