Fun for ages 0-100! We all piled into the suv and headed to the Minnesota Children’s Museum today with Krista, Jaxson and Vada! Bugs and animals were Nishad’s thing, while bubbles and water were Jaxson’s cup of tea. Baby Vada and Baby Arun pretty much slept the entire time despite the noise from a ton of field trips. The museum does post “quieter times” on their web site. http://www.mtmuseum.org/jsrh.shtml

Nishad enjoyed dressing up like a fireman as well. He thinks his Daddy is a fireman because he ‘puts out fires’ at work. I think he’ll be a little disappointed when he visits Daddy to find he doesn’t have a pole you can slide down, nor a firetruck to ride…just a desk and a computer!

We ate lunch and headed back home around 2PM. Before we knew it, the giggles stopped and our precious angels napped their way back…of course! Only to be up and ready with more energy by the time they arrived home! This Momma was pooped! I think after Arun turns 1, we’ll get a membership. It’s a neat place to spend the day!

Sometimes I feel so undeserving of the life that God has blessed me with. In specific, Ashish and two of the most incredible blessings; our boys. Sometimes I think that all the pain that I endured with my mother’s passing, and hurt I encountered with my ‘out-laws’ was God’s way of showing me that hope prevails and love conquers…

It’s because of my love for Ashish that I was capable to love more than I ever anticipated. That’s when Nishad entered our life. It was because of Nishad that I was able to allow my heart to over-flow with even more love…then Baby Arun arrived.

I recall a friend of mine asking me while I was pregnant with Nishad, “With the world in such turmoil, why have a baby now?” I replied, “A baby brings hope- hope is exactly what our world needs.” Little did I know Obama would coin my phrase of ‘hope’! ha,ha! 🙂

I can’t imagine our lives without Baby Arun. Nishad made us a family and Arun completed the picture. Oh, I do so love our family!
