Happy thoughts..

Have had a busy sleepless week with all that is going on.

The outside weather and the blossoms are cheering me up to a great extent.

At first I was going to post a photo of the miserable baby with bruises around her eyes and a snotty nose! This was to use the wife/MIL's logic and reverse it.

I will explain!

if
< nice photos of baby >
then
< baby sick >

if
< bad photo of baby >
then
< baby healthy >

No ?

Since I am not in the IT field and my coding is rusty, pardon the syntax and just look at my logic!

Could not go through with it for two reasons.

1. Do not want any recollection of baby's current face. Makes me feel sad.
2. By doing this, I will only agree with the wife/MIL that their logic is good to start with.

So, all I will post is the macro shot of this flower. The real flower is the size of a quarter (or 5 rupee coin!). The S40 is 5 years old and gives me a E18 error and won't open the shutter half the time, but once it opens!! the pictures are still good..

Looks like my html is rusty too! had to go to this site to find out how to display the brackets !!!

Another game

No, we are definitely not talking Cricket anymore !

The latest game between the girls is "touch your tongue" or the extreme sport version called "pull out your tongue"! The trick is show your tongue, wait for the other one to try and touch it, but pull it back in, just in time.

Initially I thought this game was gross, but now that I have gotten used to seeing them play this game, it looks cute!

Note how good daddy has gotten at taking these secret videos. Once they found out they were on camera, I had to oblige them by saying Hi to the video!

Resemblence..

I always thought the little one was a carbon copy of me and she resembled me more than anyone else. I was wrong!

She actually looks just like my mother! Somehow we all missed it.

Here is a comparison of the only childhood photo of my mom and baby as she is today..

Photograph from the mid 1940's vs. photo taken today!

If only I had the same dangling rings for her ear and a retro frock!

Genetics in action!

Thanks for blooming!

We have been in this house since last May! Had this tree in the front yard which had no leaves, no flowers, no fruits. Looked dry and barren. When I asked my neighbour, he said "I think it is a flowering tree! Do not know why it is not sprouting this year! Maybe the roots are damaged. Call an arborist."

I was actually in two minds to get rid of the tree since it was in the way of some construction work in the front yard.

Now all of a sudden, the tree is full of flowers.

For a full week there were only big white and purple flowers!! Now it has some leaves as well!

Here is the little one playing in front of the tree. She loves the flowers.

Glad I waited!!

Piece and quiet!

I have given up on peace and quiet. The only way to get to a quiet state is to wait and watch something (anything) go to pieces, right in front of my eyes.

Explain ? you say!

Watch this video. This happens a minimum of 4-5 times every evening in different locations inside the house.

I had recently posted a comment on Adengappa's blog about reading newspapers and happened to catch this scene!

When will this end !?!
