My, How We've Changed

We recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary and I didn't realize how much we aged until I came across this picture of us from our honeymoon. Ok, so it's a caricature... but still, we're getting old.

Playtime

Having the playroom located just off the kitchen enables me to listen in on the games and conversations that go on between Priya and Sanjay while they play. I must admit... a lot of it I have grown to ignore, but when I choose to listen it's often quite amusing and entertaining.

Having grown up for the most part without the internet, without TV remote controls, without cell phones and without cordless phones... I wonder how the kids of this electronic gadget (for lack of a better term) generation will turn out. Back in the day when we played, our games were limited to bike riding, dogs, store, school and war (essentially a little more aggressive form of "tag"). Recently I overheard Priya talking to Sanjay about her extravagant boat. She handed him something and said, "This is my card and it has my website on it. To enter my pool you just put it in here then push this. To enter my restaurant, you swipe the card here, here and here". I mean, really... where does she come up with this stuff? At least, we won't see them wearing leg warmers and stirrup pants with winged hair... or will we, since fashion usually runs in cycles?

Regardless of the generation, boys will be boys...

Priya: What does sprake-ey mean?
Sanjay: Sprake-ey means "Daddy's dead"
Priya: Then I'm not going to play with you if there's going to be any deadness.

Father's Day In Pictures

Our pictures give you a glimpse into how the day unfolded. I would have to agree with Priya that "Daddy is as strong as an elphint, as sweet as an ice cream cone, as smart as a scientist and as fun as a puppy".

And, here he is watching football with the remote control in hand...


Hope you had a great Father's Day Daddy! We love you.
