Annual tradition

The entire family just went through a bout of colds and coughs. It started with Priya, moved to Tish and then finally Armaan and I got it. I hate being sick - especially respiratory stuff. Stuffy nose, constant coughing.. Ugh. Still.. we made it through OK.

Ok mama... Do I really have to tolerate this?

On the other hand - its quite fun!

This past Saturday we went for our annual apple-picking. It's amazing how much Priya remembered from last year. She had been talking about picking apples for months, starting with, "Remember we picked apples last year." She remembered sitting on the big pumpkins, and the tractor ride.

Look here kids.. After six pictures.. Never mind.

Sampling the wares

This looks like a good one

Quick.. take a bite before anyone watches...

you really should wear a cowboy hat on apple picking day. It would fill in the whole tradition really well. Right now, you look like Santa without a suit, or Elf without a hat!

we took our annual trip up north this year - went for an apple festival about 35 miles northwest of Chicago ... it was great! ... different people up there!

Looks like fun! We're still hoping to get some apple picking in before the season's over!

That looks like a great family day out. We used to have an apple tree in our garden but we cut it down last year as it was getting more diseased each year. Aarman looks pretty happy in his bath. Matthew slipped over a couple of time in ours (despite the non slip mat, while his brother thought it was very funny and laughed) and now he creams when we put him in. He loved it up to 2 weeks ago. How frustrating!
