What to take to the hospital

By Abbas -

For those of you who know Kaniz, you know that she really likes making lists. With all the preparation for our +1, I think I may have gotten on the Excel bandwagon as well. We made a (rather large) list of things to pack in our hospital bag and I thought I'd share that with you (feel free to copy/paste into your own spreadsheet :)

A tennis ball???
Isn't that a dangerous item in the hands of a labouring woman?

Mom & Baby Samarah are doing well.. we're all looking forward to going home later this week and starting a new chapter in our lives as a family. Samarah sends her love to all her friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas. More pictures to follow.

Fast forward...

Ok, so I feel like I'm cheating a little bit here by posting six months worth of pictures at once, but this is the only way I have a remote chance of catching up. As you can see from the pictures, the Rizvi family definitely had a busy few months.. between birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, and family outings, we kept a full social calendar. Also, as you can tell from the picture above, Samarah and Syra are really starting to play well together. Ok, maybe 'well' isn't the right word, but they do have their moments. Syra definitely has a more forceful personality, which effectively neutralizes the size advantage Samarah has. I'm sure the fighting will only escalate as they get older. Stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures from Jan-June, 2011!

All in all, fairly typical for moving into a new home, but having both girls home full-time added a bit of extra challenge. Two weekends with out-of-town visitors . We had a ton of fun with our guests - especially with Baby Tess meeting Samarah and Syra (just check the pictures). Having to deal with our refrigerator breaking down after 6 weeks. Let me tell you, that is one appliance you cannot do without. It was an interesting week to say the least, but we did get to live like Europeans and buy fresh groceries every day. An out-of-town wedding (congrats Julia and Shane!) Kicking the afternoon nap.. and I know what some of you are thinking, but no, it wasn't me trying to for...
