Aki's 1st Birthday

Akif's 1st birthday fell into an Eid so we thought to have a lunch instead of an evening party. We cooked in my house and Ahmed's house with a lot of help from both families.

We were still busy planning and arranging for the next day when it was 12:00.

Wishing our little man at 12:00

With the pooh bear we gave

After the party we went for a walk with Ahmed's family. It was the first time and yet the last time Aki was out so late. We had fun and enjoyed the day to the fullest. By the time we came home Aki was half sleeping.

After coming home he received a gift from his thutthatha

We saw this cool t shirts printed mama and papa so we thought of printing a t shirt for Aki with a pooh bear and typed baby on front and his favorite toy on the back for the birthday. He was crazy about pooh bears that time. Yaani his cousin gave him a pooh bear soft toy while he was very little. Ever since he loves pooh bears.That's why even for a gift from us we bought a big pooh bear.

Thank you for all who made this day special for him.

Aki playing football

Last Friday early morning we went to play football. Aki got a jersey from his grandma so I thought it would be fun to take him to play football. We took Aki’s cousin dhaadhu with us. Dhaadhu is my very first nephew. This time when I woke Aki up he didn’t get moody as dhaadhu was there. Aki likes to play with him. Both of the boys had a great time. But Aki wasn’t interested in playing football. He wanted to run in the track with the others who were jogging. When he saw a European woman jogging, he shouted Dhattha run run. We burst out laughing.

Father's day 2011

Happy fathers Day to the wonderful fathers all around the world.

This year’s father’s day is more special for us than last year as little Aki can understand things now. I made him wish Ahmed when he woke up in the morning. He tried not to say what I asked him to say but somehow managed to say it with a cute smile. After Ahmed went office we had breakfast and headed off to FDI to print some pictures for a very special book I saw and bought from the book Fair. It says world’s greatest dad. The best gift for a father like him. I made a cake too actually with great difficulties I must say. I have lost touch. I haven’t made a cake for years. You would have noticed it from the pictures too. While I was busily icing the cake Aki was busy sleeping. So he missed it but when he woke up and saw the cake he was so happy. He started climbing to the chairs to get it. He was very excited. So I was relieved no matter how the cake looked Aki loved it. When I told him that it’s for bappa he started saying that and ran around the kitchen. When Ahmed came from office he clapped and said,” Bappa cake ayee yoa”. Just the smile on his face made my day. All the running around was worth it.



'The cake i made. yeah i know. it's not nice.

Celebrations of our Anniversary

We decided that we are not going to exchange gifts on our anniversary hereafter as I m not working anymore. I want to buy gifts from what I earn only but this time we exchanged gifts as I got a temporary job at Novelty fair. Ahmed gave me perfumes and I loved it. I bought him whole collection of Sherlock homes and wind in the willows, two novels he likes a lot. Then I bought him slippers. I also wanted to surprise him so I bought a cake and while we were at dinner my brother gave it to the restaurants counter. It was served after dinner but as usual Ahmed knew that a cake was coming. Well, I must say he knows me too well.

To celebrate the day we had evening tea with Ahmed’s family and Akif. After that we went to for dinner after putting Aki to sleep.

The food wasn’t fabulous however the place was great. Just the way I wanted it to be.

Here are some pics we took as I promised

This is the cake i ordered.luv the red and the black.

Celebrating our 12th Anniversary

Day before yesterday we celebrated our 12^th Anniversary. We went for a dinner to celebrate the night. I’ll try uploading some pics soon. I wrote this for Ahmed on this special occasion.

He is my bestfriend the one I share my sorrows and happiness

He is my life, my world, my love, the better half of me

He lifts me up when I am down

He holds me close when I am not fine

He makes me smile, he makes me laugh

He is a sweetheart, who captured my heart

He bestowed me the most precious gift

The beautiful son whom we adore the most

He loves me and I love him

Unconditionally and completely

He is caring, he is sharing

He is gentle and kind

When it’s time to sleep

He kiss me goodnnight, he holds me tight

I snuggle next to him happily

Closing my eyes peacefully

Because I know the next day is a new day

To love, to share, to live and to capture a fresh memory

That’s more beautiful

He kept me smiling all these years

He keeps me on the top of the world

I would love you forever and more each day

You my love, is the perfect husband, the perfect dad

Today I thank you for the perfect 12 years
