The Last Harry/Hurrah

I stood in line at midnight to get the last Harry Potter book. Every other time I had gone the following morning, but since I was up for Armaan anyway, I thought I'd experience the last opening sale. The book itself is OK. Everything is neatly wrapped up. But when Voldemort turns to Harry and says, "Harry, I am your father" I thought I'd read that story somewhere else! And then Harry turns to Hagrid and says, "Let's go Chewie..."

I go back to work on Monday. I am fully expecting people to ask me how my "vacation" was. As if this time really is vacation. It's been nice to be off, though. Lot's of time spent with the family.
One of the last purchases we did was to buy a crib. We decided it was better off just to get one for Armaan, instead of borrowing one. So after some looking we bought a similar one to Priya's - a crib to start with, which then converts to a full bed.



Tish's dream this year has been to feel the stingrays at Brookfield Zoo. So we used our free passes and went for a quick trip. It was an overcast day, which made it nice because the sun was hidden. Priya loved the petting zoo. Whereas last time she was deathly afraid of the chickens, this time she was fascinated by them. And Tish got to feel the stingrays too!

Wonder what he's got on his mind...

Mike says that Armaan looks exactly like Dhiran Uncle and we all agree.

I'm sure I left a comment on the previous post. Did u delete it and if yes may I ask why? Nathanael began to sleep through a 10 weeks which was great!

Priya was really interested in the zoo animals. The goats were great! I enjoyed all the pics of the grandchildren and the videos. It helps me get through when I can't see them.
