Yo Mom! Someone ate all the carrots! No, not me, mom. Someone else!!!

Phase 1 of the Thanksgiving lunch...The deserts came later...The cranberry salsa (ask me for the recipe) was terrific...

Extreme closeup of the excellent turkey that Ranga baked. Needless to say, it was tasty! First time for him, he claimed. I was licking my chops and holding my stomach from the overeating....

They're beginning to get more rambunctious and uncontrollable here. With their Syam-taatagaru

Dipavali 2004. All the more bright because of two out-of-control chippies...

The tykes with their (maternal) Gramma and Grampa.

Pavan with this Syam-taatagaru on Dipavali...

Medha with her Ammamma on Dipavali ...

They're 8.5 Months Old!!

The Charming Chums planning something BIG.

They're 8.5 months old now and are a lot of fun. They routinely crawl all over, and are also busting out of their clothes.

If you look closely you may notice that Pavan's left big toe is creating a hole in his bodysuit. Oh, we're such careless parents!

Pavan sitting on the kitchen floor. He never gets to sit here, so when we sat him down there he was BEAMING!

Medha playing with her non-Rubik's cube. It is child's play for her. Here she was laughing at something Lakshmi was saying.

The boy wonder cheerfully stuck in his crib. He seems to enjoy playing in his bed....

Hans and Nancy came a-visiting, the first time after they got engaged (You can't miss the large shining diamond on her ring finger). Both Medha and Pavan took to them really well. They're normally a little shy of new people these days, but they were quite comfortable with the power couple. If you're nice people, kids take to you, no? :-)
