Fun with Nino and Gia at the Library

Yipppeee we finally got to meet Nino!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like Gia he is gorgeous, and he is such a good boy, so happy and laid back!!!! Watch out girls of NJ he is going to be the ultimate catch when he grows up. He already swept Liv off her feet. She was all over him!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was so good to catch up with Holly, and the kids had a great time playing at the library. Let's do it again real soon.



How beautiful is this baby boy!!
"Nino, why are you ignoring me???"
Liv and Gia taking a break from running around.
Of course I couldn't get a close up of the 2 active toddlers together, but here you can see Gia is a whole head taller than Liv. Guess Liv will be counting on Gia to fight her battles when they are in school together.
Quick everyone pretend to play lego's, so we don't get kicked out of the library, for eating, drinking, pulling books off the shelf, and most of all running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're back and fully loaded

Christmas came early in our household by way of Circuit City. I got a good deal on a new camera, and I just couldn't wait to use it.
Olivia was playing today with her playmate from the summer. When Olivia would play at my Mom's house over the summer the little dog, Winston, from next door would come over. Today he was out and Liv was so excited to play with him.



Winston where have you been? I've missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laughing at the leaves blowing in the wind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anything cuter than a baby and a puppy???????????

Now I don't know if it's the new camera or if this girl is just amazingly beautiful, but how great is this picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!!

Liv enjoyed the day out at Vinay's cousin's. Here is a video Vinay took before we left for dinner. I think Liv looks like a little french girl, although it was hard for her to walk in her sparkly shoes. You can also hear what a sweet little voice she has.

Finally wedding pictures

We finally got some pictures from Vaishu's wedding which was back in September. They are really expensive to order, but these are some of the ones I liked best.
Have a good weekend!!!!!




The family on the Indian wedding day. Vandanna, Mom, Jake, Vaishu, Liv, Vinay, me.

Isn't she just the cutest flower girl ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The only picture take of the three of us. Poor Liv was so tired by this point.
"Mommy, can I be bride like this some day?" Yes Liv, but only after your 50th birthday!!!! Hehe, I'm never letting this little girl go!!!!!!!!!!!!

The princess and the pea

Guess what everyone I now eat not only corn, but peas also. My Mom has been so busy helping with Pop Pop, I thought it would be nice if I expanded my menu. So now I will eat some vegetables like corn, peas, and broccoli. Last week I even tried eggplant. How good am I? My Mom and Dad were so happy they started dancing and getting all excited. It doesn't take much to please them!!!
Well gotta go I'm not allowed on the computer but I sneak it if I think my Mom's not looking.

Love ya,
Liv

Some cool websites

Hi everyone, we had a busy weekend. A playdate on Saturday, visiting with my Grandfather on Sunday and Vaishu slept over so she could spend some time with Liv.

Believe it or not I already have my Christmas cards ordered. I got them from the woman who did Olivia's annoucements last year. She does such nice work. You take the picture and send it in to her and she makes it look professional. Check out her site at
Website: ChouetteDesignGroup

I also found a great kids clothes website. For all you fans of Gymboree, they now have another brand out that runs a little cheaper. They currently have free shipping and they have some great sale items. Check them out at

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippppeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Things are looking up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am happy to report that Parkers Surgery went well. It look like the cancer was contained to just the tumor. So they removed all of it and he should not have anymore problems. Poor thing is just so miserable. He hates wearing the cone, and because the surgery was on his butt he can't sit so he just stands there and cries. Vaishu is babysitting him all day and Vinay's mom will be home all weekend with him. Unfortunately we can't see him, because we don't want Olivia pulling at his cone or hurting his incision. Hopefully by next week he will be better and we can visit.

I am also very happy to report that my Grandfather is coming home today. Yes it is a little early, but he can't stay at the rehab any longer, just too many problems there, and mentally it might be best for him to be home. It will be allot on my Mom and my aunts, but were hoping that with the visiting nurse and therapist he will heal more rapidly. Liv and I will try to stay there 2 days a week to help out.
Thank you, thank you for all the prayers !!!
Happy weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update, new photos, and the "Mother of all Raffles"

My grandfather is doing well. Thank you so much for all the prayers, I know they are helping in his recovery. He is doing good in physical therapy, little by little he is walking with the walker. His mental state has also gotten better, he is more positive and less out of it since he came off the painkillers. Liv and I are going for another visit today. She just loves to run around the halls and find people who will shower her with attention.

Parker surgery is scheduled for Thursday. This weekend we spent some quality time with him. Olivia just loves him, she showers him with kisses and bearhugs him whenever he finally thinks it is safe to lay down. Parker on the other hand just tolerates her, unless of course she is carrying food, then he is all over her.

Now for the "Mother of all Raffles" Holly and Julia are up to some very good, helping 2 families who are in the process of bringing home some very special children. Please check out their blog and help if you can. If we all just skip getting one daily latte, and use that money for a raffle ticket we can help bring these children home.

Liv and Daddy hanging out at Liv's friend Nicholas' house.
Nicholas just cracks Olivia up. That boy can make her laugh like no one else. It's like they have a secret language.
Finally a picture of Liv in her full costume. She wore it for a little while on Halloween and at this party.
