Finally!

By Abbas -


I know, I know I know! You don't even have to say anything.. it's been a long time since my last post. I'm guessing that most of you thought I'd abandoned the whole blog thing, but never fear.. it was just a temporary lapse.

So lots of new things since 2009 started, including:
  • Two new top teeth, bringing the total to 4! (and two more on the way, apparently)
  • Crawling forwards (again, finally!)
  • First throw up on an airplane - not terribly messy, thankfully.
  • First ear infection - all recovered now.
  • First course of antibiotics - surprisingly, Samarah loved taking her amoxicillin, which smelled a little like watermelon Jolly Ranchers.
  • Learning to feed myself
  • Expanded vocabulary - in addition to the usual dada and mama, Samarah has added abbas (ok, so it's more like 'abba' but close enough), apple, purple, and up!
I have another set of pictures to post this week, so will fill you all in on the latest then.

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...
