Happy Fourth Engagement Anniversary

How do you know that your significant other still loves you after 3.9 years and 2 kids?? Simple answer is that he goes out and randomly buys you the Nikon D5000 (which you btw have been drolling over since months).

I'm still playing around with the different features that include 12.3 mega-pixel and a versatile vari-angle LCD display (which FYI is great for movie making). It also has many other hi-techi stuff which I still have to figure out (mostly because I'm an alien to DSLR)

It has been 4 hours since it has landed in my hands and the user's manual has already become a text book for me. A big thanks to my hubby Haris who totally took me by surprise with his generosity. And the closest occasion that I can think of is our fourth year engagement anniversary, which is still a week away:)

Oh My Fur and Whiskers! We're Late!!

So the babies arrived. WOOHOO! But were we prepared? Not really.
Unlike y'all we did most of the shopping after the babies were born. Lucky for us we got some down time when the kids were in the NICU for a week.


Here are a few pictures of the chaos before they came home. I simply loved the frenzied hurry, made it so much more exciting. I had taken them when I was discharged on the 5th day after delivery. I must have been sore from the surgey, but I clearly don't remember that part...must be the pain meds, don't you just love modern medicine:)


I didn't have a real baby shower during pregnancy. That's because it isn't something I do. So, I didn't have lots of stuff hoarded up for them in my closet. I think the concept of not doing extravagant baby showers comes from the myth of opening doors to bad luck that could possibly harm the unborn by doing so. I don't really believe in that but baby showers are something novel to me. Although I would love to try them out. Next time maybe (hint, hint ;))

Daddy shoped for daipers. Loads and loads of 'em.

Clothing was one of the few things I bought before they arrived

May I just scream out loud? Bouncers saved our lives. Our kids practically lived off 'em

That is supposed to be my bedroom.
Um..I think. It somewhere there alright, I just know it.
