Kaniz & Abbas +2

In a single day, there are so many moments with Samarah that I wish I could remember forever. She's not even two yet and I find myself straining to remember details about her as a newborn or an infant. I suppose one of the reasons Kaniz and I decided to create this blog was so we would have a (more reliable) record of how much joy Samarah has brought into our life. Maybe one day, Samarah will read these words, look through the pictures, and get some sense of the immense love we have for her. So.. I thought that while I was taking my (rather short) trip down memory lane, I would write down 10 random things about my time with Samarah that I want to remember for the rest of my life: The way she wants to hold on to me (or Kaniz) when going to sleep. The way she keeps yelling 'Abbas' if she loses sight of me in a public place. (this is great for finding Kaniz and Samarah at crowded food courts - I just have to follow the yelling!) The look on Samarah's face when she fina...

It's hard to believe, but Kaniz is already in her third trimester with +2. This means that I've got to stretch out my flabby blogging muscles and get back into tip-top posting shape.

So, expect to see posts on a regular basis from here on in.. and to get us started, here are some of the pictures from September. Enjoy! September, 2009

Been a while since the last post, and since I finally got done sorting through the pictures in July and August, I figured it was about time for a post. So a lot has been going on in our life. The biggest news, of course, is the expected arrival of +2. The new news (although it isn't very new anymore) is that Samarah is having a baby sister! I'm not sure if we decided to find out the gender because we simply couldn't wait or because we wanted to know if we could re-use all of Samarah's stuff. Probably a bit of both. :) In any case, Kaniz and I are super excited about +2 - we think she will be a great little sister to Samarah.. and they'll never ever argue, fight or whine and always share and be helpful. Ok, so maybe a little wishful thinking on our part, but one can hope. Between the doctor's visits, busy work schedules, library visits, outings to the park, shopping trips, and a couple o...
