Fun Friends :)

So here are my friends Allison, Reba & Christine... they were all together at a wedding about a year and a half ago and I was sad that I missed everyone together, so Reba "photoshopped" me in the picture :)But! This weekend we got to all see each other in the flesh and take a real picture of the 3 of us!
The next day, Christine & I were talking to Reba (who is pregnant and due at the end of January) and we told her that we would like for her to have her baby that weekend so that we could be there. Christine told her that she had some free time on Saturday, so that day would be good for her! haha! I told her about a song that my friend Mandy made up that she sings to pregnant ladies that encourages the baby to come out (... she only mentioned the song around me and I had my baby that week!) ... We thought it was worth a try :)
We sang the song to her and she went into labor that night!
So.... here we are visiting her in the hospital after she had her baby girl - Ella!
Congrats Reba! Ella is Awesome!!!

too fun! I'm sure you miss a lot of these events living abroad, so it's great you were able to be there for your friend this time!

I have to laugh at your statement 'we got to all see each other in the flesh and take a real picture of the 3 of us' because by my count, there are FOUR in that picture... FIVE if you count unborn Ella! but with good friends, eveything gets all mushed together and you're all part of each other (at least that's how it is for me with my friends), so you can call it 3 if you want. :)

I love it that Mandy's "Baby ____" song is now world-renowned. It worked for me too, and also for Baby Caskey! Think "Name That Prophet" will catch on, too? ;) That's funny they photoshopped you in. I joked about doing the same thing with one of my best friend's wedding pics, except I would be in a sari. :)

I know you had a blast. Talked to Jason and he really missed seeing you guys. You will have to photoshop him into the pictures from the reunion.
I know what it is like to be overseas and miss weddings, births, etc. I know you and Adam were so excited to be here for so much. I pray as you continue in your chosen field.

Ella is such a beautiful name!!!!
Ok, that first pix just cracks me up. Well, its amazing that you can do that but your head is soooo small it makes her head look really big, its just so funny:)

Mandy never sang that song to me, and if Jyoti had not come 10 days early then I would definitely have had to get her to sing it! That's great!

I'm so glad you got to be there for your friend's baby's birth. Those opportunities are rare when friends live on opposite sides of the world.

Oh...and the photoshop picture reminds me of something - when I got married my best friend was in India so we printed out a picture of her and stapled it to a stick and carried her around during the rehearsal. haha!

Comic Con 2013

 Comic Con 2013 just ended.  It was a fun one this year.  This was the 3rd Annual Comic Con here.  We've been to it all 3 years.  It's getting bigger each year!  I think they grew out of their venue this year...it was soooo crowded!  Here's me imitating "Superkudi" :)  Aashini and me :)  For the Love of Comics...  Some guys that were dressed up... the guy on the left isn't in his full attire... He won the CosPlay contest that day... he won a trip to Dubai to their Comic Con!!  This was my favorite costume of the day... Nyan Cat :)  There were lots of people there!  Me and the girls on the 2nd day :)  I had to have at least one jumping picture :) Our friend Ford made a video of the first day... check it out!

Weekend Getaway!!

 During the Diwali holidays, the kiddos had off almost a week of school.  So, us and some of our friends went on a getaway!  We went just a little outside of the city to another state and stayed at a fun resort.   Look at the view from our room!  Fun hunh?  Aashini and Diya got to play a lot with their buddies Sanjana and Sandeep :)  The kiddos had a great time on the outside play area :)  The boys spent most of their time playing sports! haha!  They played Badminton (pictured below), Tennis, Water Polo and Cricket at any chance they got! :)  They played ALL day long! haha!  The hotel also had an indoor play area.  They kids had a lot of fun at that one too :)  It had a crazy slide that was super steep and fast!  They usually ended up sliding across the floor  a few feet after they slid off :) haha!  We all tried the slide too :) haha!  There were fountains and water ever...

MasterChef Australia!!!

MasterChef Australia is a great show!  When it's on, we get it 5 days a week.  There are TONS of episodes.  The thing that makes it really cool is that the judges and contestants are all so nice!  The contestants don't stab each other in the back and they even help each other!   Anyway, the other night (a couple of weeks ago) some friends of ours were in town and wanted to go to Chili's, so we went over to the mall to eat :)  When we got there we saw that the bookstore had the Judges (and very famous chefs/restaurant owners) inside signing cookbooks!    When we got inside, they had just closed off the line, so we weren't allowed to go through the line and get them to sign a cookbook or get a pic with them :(    So... we stood as close as we could and took pics :) haha!  (and I didn't have my camera, only my phone to take pics)... Here's Gary...    Here's George with my friend Amy :)  And my at...
