Been long

It's been long since I have blogged.

This was our first weekend with two kids to ourselves. Because it was the weekend, we did not feel much, but we are both dreading tomorrow. Played basketball after about a couple of months yesterday and had great fun.
Job is awesome. Can't wait to take a break and go to cancun this thanksgiving. Going to be fun with dada & family. Looking forward to that. It is going to be our first all-inclusive, so will see how many drinks we can gobble up.

Yard in spring

Love our yard.

Backyard fence

Our backyard fence had gone awry and fallen off. My neighbor and I brought it back up and this is the end result. My first real project - though i was just a helper.
Nice end to 2012!

New Years Resolution

Off late (for the past few years), I am guilty of not staying in touch with my family and friends. My new year resolution this time is simple. Take effort to call and stay in touch with them. I hope unlike all my other resolutions, I keep up to this one :)

Basketball

Yesterday i had one of the best days of basketball. Dribbled well, tried to make some plays, passed really well, made some awesome drives and layups and scored at-least 5-6 baskets per game.
From a total newbie who started playing just around 3-4 years ago, i feel nice because i have been striving for this moment. The hoop in my backyard has helped me a lot and i hope that this continues and gets even better!!!!

Honolulu

Came back from our Hawaii trip today. It was relaxing and fun to see Anya and Sumera enjoy. Magic of Polynesia was the best show we went to, Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial was humbling, the five course dinner cruise was fun - with a whole huge lobster as the third course. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency, right off the Waikiki beach and it was awesome.
Here is the view from our room at the 23rd floor. Spent quite a few coffee moments in the balcony.

Trip to Oahu

Really excited about our trip to Oahu. It will be Anya's first major outing at a beach, discounting the Catalina Island trip. Babymoon time too:) Mom is coming in October, have a lot of things lined up in my personal life and things are good. Professional life could be better - but eehhhhh - with a growing family that is really not my priority.
