It's Time to Start Blogging Again!

It has been months since my last post.  Since moving back to Texas in August of 2011 and being so close to family, I didn't find as much time to blog.  However, with all the exciting things happening in our lives currently, we would like to start sharing our updates with family and friends again.

Some latest news:

• Tanya Masi moved to L.A. to pursue an advertising job with OMD on Krish's 2nd Birthday, February 8, 2012.
• Neil is accepting a new job in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and partnering with an old residency colleague whose practice focuses solely on spine care.
• We will sadly leave family in Houston and also happily join family and friends in Dallas when we move to the Las Colinas/Irving area in August of 2012.  We cherished every moment we had with family in Houston for the past year.
• And last and most importantly, we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the newest member of our family on December 1, 2012!!!

I will go back as far as I can and post the best updates in our lives and Krish's growth.  We hope that you like them!

Halloween Town

This year, for Halloween, Krish was old enough for us to have some real fun! We took him to Halloween Town in Sugar Land Town Square, where Mommy and Daddy got married, and he was able to go trick-or-treating in the boutique shops, take pictures at the pumpkin patch, and play with different animals and characters. He had a blast! Daddy and Krishy were matching as Curious George and "The Man with the Yellow Hat".

Happy Halloween 2011!

On Halloween Day, we took Krish to a Halloween Carnival where he went trick-or-treating, bounced in a bounce house, pet every animal in the petting zoo, went on a pony ride, and ate all the popcorn he could eat!  Popcorn was his favorite treat this year and he called it "Kaw-korn".  It was so sweet!  Needless to say, I think Daddy, Mommy, and Krish had the best Halloween ever this year!

The Many Costumes of Krish

This year, Krish had the opportunity to dress up as several different characters. He was a cute little devil, thanks to Zena Foi. A surgeon, like Daddy, thanks to Tanya Masi. And a monkey, like Curious George, thanks to Daddy and Mommy. I think he liked them all! He was very cooperative and proudly wore his costumes all day!

Krish's First Christmas!

Merry Christmas Santa! This past Christmas, we made sure to go to the mall and get Krish's very first Santa pictures taken. And he was...totally taken by Santa!

Happy Birthday Nani!!

Happy Birthday, Nani!

Hope you're having a fabulous day!

Love You,

Krish

P.S. Look, I got new loose-fitting pajamas. :)

Daddy's Surprise Birthday Party!

For Daddy's birthday, we surprised him at the bowling alley by getting all the cousins together for bowling. Tanya Masi and Tricia Masi then brought Daddy, blindfolded, to the bowling alley, and he was surprised to see us all gathered there ready to wish him and celebrate his birthday together!

Thanksgiving 2010

It's been a while since I've updated our blog. We realized that November through February is the busiest time of year for the Shah Family. From Thanksgiving and Dad and Dada's birthdays to Christmas, New Year's, and Krish's birthday, we stay busy traveling, celebrating the holidays with family, and preparing for Krish's birthday party!

Therefore, now I am going back in time to Krish's very first Thanksgiving experience. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Anu and Rajiv's place with Lila Bhen and Diya Bhen and all of the cousins: Ankur, Vivek, Krishna and Roshan. We had a traditional Thanksgiving feast for the first time, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Of special note is Rajiv's delicious, baked macaroni dish. In addition to playing our traditional games - Guestures and Pictionary, Daddy and Vivek Kaka got to watch the Cowboys v. Saints game together!
