mahala's friends

backyard friends (salamanders) that mahala adores. she has become quite the play date for kids who are also bug/lizard lovers!

ethan's visit

vineetha, anoop and ethan came by to see our new place. the kids had a blast playing together....in the video, ethan makes a score despite noble's fancy goalee moves! and even vineetha had to get in onthe fun :) the kids also spent some time digging who-knows-what but they had fun doing it.

cinderella!

noble loves our new vacuum cleaner AND the cinderella costume that a friend passed down to us. poor "cinderella" always had to do the work, right?

bunk beds!

thanks for the bunk beds ammamma and appappan! (don't try that back bend at home!)

weird weather continues....

unusually warm weather (breakfast out on the porch) followed a couple of weeks later by hail (noble making footprints)!!

still so tiny and cute

yay! the art house (arthaus)

the first time i saw this little one room cottage, i thought it would make the perfect "art house" and so here it is...the kids love going up there and i just hand them a phone set on intercom so they can call me when they need me.
