99 and counting...

Just when I thought I was going to catch up with the pictures, I got lazy and missed a couple of weeks!

I think maybe I need to streamline my workflow - as it is, the whole process goes a little something like this: I take (hundreds of) pictures, download them to my computer, select the ones worth keeping (and ones worth posting), add the oh-so-witty captions, publish the photos to the web and then write the actual post. The whole thing ends up taking longer than you'd think, which may explain why I'm posting so irregularly these days. Anyone have any brilliant ideas for me?

Anyway, the last month has been quite busy, as you'll see from the pictures. Kaniz, Samarah and I had lots of fun going to different festivals across the city, entertaining friends and family, and we even made it out to the beach!

Enjoy the pictures! More videos are on their way (.. and for those of you keeping count, the next post will be our 100th!)

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!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

It's been a busy couple of months in the Rizvi household. Don't believe me? Well, here are a few highlights from August and the first week of September: Plenty of post-move issues (dealing with the builder, trying to get a Rogers tech to actually show up on time, unpacking the remaining boxes, etc.). 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...
