This is Miss Hanna, she is helps us a few days a week and we love her completely! The kids adore her and she is nothing but a blessing to our lives. Roo looks terrible in this pic but this picture captures the essence of Hanna! She and her boyfriend Travis invited us over for a lunch and we had a wonderful time. The electric piano was the kids favorite part.</div>

This was our Valentines scavenger hunt! This year we did 18 clues, our biggest hunt yet and they did great. Jai said he got a little lazy and lost a bit of interest but he came back around at the end. I love our tradition and they talk about it for weeks leading up to the event. </div>

Well Rohan is quickly turning into a playmate for Laila and Jai. I have looked over to see Laila and Jai playing Star Wars with lightsabers and Rohan is right there with them with a mini sword laila made for him! He is not wanting to be left out! He is still a two toothed monster but it doesn't slow him down one bit and eats anything we do. He makes us all laugh and is a great source of entertainment! I love watching them incorporating him into their play. It very interesting to see their dynamics change and grow as he grows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Laila started her guitar lessons and is really enjoying them. She is very motivated to learn. I can't wait till she conquers her first song.</div>

What a wonderful Christmas! We had an amazing time eating, drinking and playing! Laila and Jai were thrilled to be back with their cousins. Wilder, Finny, Marin and Jillian all had a blast hanging out, playing and watching movies. Rohan thought the whole thing was rather overwhelming. He wasn't happy unless I was within a foot of him the entire time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of this but on our first evening in town Elizabeth, Jason, Manik, Arjun and I went bowling at this awesome new retro bowling alley. It was like old time and we all had a blast. Arjun, who is normally find bowling challenging, did fantastic! It was great to see him find his groove. Jason won every game but we gave him a run for his money. The bowling alley had tally sheets where you kept your score by hand. Manik, who grew up in a bowling alley, loved this! Throughout the night he was helping all the young people who played in the lane next to us keep score. I saw him repeatedly erase the "kids" score keeping and correct it. I found this very humorous. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Christmas Eve we went to the early evening Mass and it was very eventful. Rohan thought this was a great opportunity to roam the isles. He made lots of friends. Wilder and Finny lasted their longest time yet, a whole 16 minutes. Wilder isn't such a big fan of God Love and decided he was better off just leaving. The rest of Mass was pretty normal and a nice reminder of the real meaning of Christmas. Manik and Elizabeth made dinner and it was out of this world! Like I said we did a lot of eating......and drinking :)</div>

Christmas morning we were woken by six very excited kiddos! There was zero organization and it was a wonderful mess of presents, wrapping paper and lots of smiles and excitement! Laila was very purposeful in her request for a Christmas present from Santa. She took weeks to come up with something to ask from Santa. She finally came to me late in December and asked for a musical instrument. She narrowed it down to a piano or a guitar. I was so thankful that Santa went with a guitar!</div>

So a few days ago I received a wonderful gift in the mail from my dad! It was a camera with two different lenses and something I have wanted for such a long time! I was over joyed and the kids have been at my mercy ever since!</div>

This is the essence of Laila, she is made up of pure sweetness and goodness. She is my companion in all things GIRL. She cares about cooking, and decorating for parties, and loving on Roo and watching out for Jai. She is my love. She likes her space and only gives hugs and kisses to those she completely trusts. You are pretty lucky if you get one. </div>

My Jai Jai, he is one who snuggles in for a book or movie. I can always count on him to make us laugh or come up with some amazing lego contraption. He is also stubborn as a mule and is my wildcard. I never know what he will do from one minute to another. </div>

One of my favorite places was the Global Village. It was a huge outdoor market and each country sold items that you would typically find in their country. Egypt had the most amazing cotton pajamas and Palestine had AMAZING babagnoush. Each market was a surprise. Here are a few pics of the Indian spice market.</div>

Manik's cousin, Rishi, and his family just happen to visiting Dubai the same time as us. Rishi and his wife have a four year old named Ava and of course little Sam. They are from London so listening to their accents was so much fun. It was wonderful seeing Ava and Laila meet, it turns out they have very similar personalities Both are particular, don't like being cuddled, loud is their middle name and of course both beautiful smart, well spoken, thoughtful and so sweet! Since they are twins at heart we had to dress them the same at least once!<br />

So the plan for today was for Dadagi and I to take the kids to the toy store to pick out some nice scooters that they around the around the building and park. They were so excited and we were excited for them, our first mistake was not telling them what were coming to pick out, I did not give them the speech about not asking everything they see and begging incessantly. So we walk in and Laila sees a 4 foot tall Barbie and is in love. Long story short we did not leave with scooters or a 4 ft tall Barbie. Laila was heartbroken and threw a massive fit outside the store. Dadagi and I just shook out heads at what a massive fail the whole outing was!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Later today we took a little boat to the Old Souk, the character and trinkets are beautiful but overwhelming at the same time. They take aggressive sales to a whole new level. Laila and Jai loved the ride and all that there was to see.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Old Souk is located on the Dubai Creek, a known destination for all . These are smuggler boats that take goods to Iran, India, Somalia, Pakistan and other neighboring countries. They look like they have been around for hundreds of years.<br />

Dadima and Dadagi were so excited to see us!<br />
<br />
Yesterday we did a lot of napping and just hanging out. This Morning we woke up around 3am due to jet lag and watched a movie, played, worked out and took the kids on a walk. All before 8am. A very productive morning so far! <br />
<br />
Manik'S cousin and his family happen to be visiting Dubai the same time as us so their kids will get to meet their second cousins for the first time. Ava is is four and Sam who is a little less than a year, I am so happy for Laila and Jai to have playmates, even better that they are family! <br />

<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
Jai has begun potty training and it is a painful painful process. There have been quite a few accidents and quite a few successes. I was truly afraid this day would never come. But alas it has and Jai is doing great. He is still scared to go #2 but we'll get there soon enough!<br />

<br />
As for my new challenge I have been very unmotivated when it comes to exercising. So yesterday after spending some time on Pinterest I came upon a blog called <a href="http://calicrossfit.blogspot.com/">Crossfit Mamas</a>. The blogger is a mom of four, she lists the workout of the day and adds a weekly challenge such as no soda or no caffeine for 90 days. I love the idea of the workout changing everyday but also that it is only about 20 minute long. My first workout was this morning and it was perfect, hard but I new it wouldn't last forever. <br />
<br />
I will keep ya posted on the results!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Heidi<br />

<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<br />
Last week this snow storm rolled in and it was a sight to see. Usually it is just overcast and there isn't much to see but this time it was stunning! The clouds were just amazing! <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN4Uj4dknP1nphm_QYP9FVg7WcJvEE5kdOaYZLealqkan7OuAhpYdzSodmuX10o51MWyIcUXc5sPjY5d6Ta08fPMGW0O6e3WbC9f-AAqUTw2RyEjUcjjzrOvVanp57z7cGd7rN2-z4Grne/s1600/photo+%25283%2529.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN4Uj4dknP1nphm_QYP9FVg7WcJvEE5kdOaYZLealqkan7OuAhpYdzSodmuX10o51MWyIcUXc5sPjY5d6Ta08fPMGW0O6e3WbC9f-AAqUTw2RyEjUcjjzrOvVanp57z7cGd7rN2-z4Grne/s400/photo+%25283%2529.JPG" width="400" /><br />
<br />
</a>Less than twenty minutes later it looked more like this, the snow was more<br />
like ice pelts coming down sideways.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORz6yptr5vn46jbOXbr4ZJRm3H4wa6izpdZKVji63gQwNfAmosiyyReyJLG1FuOc5IfT-WtGXVMVx43YuxsVDKIlSQZXi5acabazK46QCGQLHysWpNKEswuG8KAVfM9rTmv1ve1meMcAJ/s1600/photo+%25283%2529-001.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhORz6yptr5vn46jbOXbr4ZJRm3H4wa6izpdZKVji63gQwNfAmosiyyReyJLG1FuOc5IfT-WtGXVMVx43YuxsVDKIlSQZXi5acabazK46QCGQLHysWpNKEswuG8KAVfM9rTmv1ve1meMcAJ/s400/photo+%25283%2529-001.JPG" width="299" /></a><br />
<br />
And an hour later the sun was back out and the kids were ready to play in the snow! Jai immidiately was trying to eat as much as he possibly could.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsV5Jts9KuNkfYxMpk2VFM0wMIe_V5JhEp1fD_seBV_wx6U9FisM1ukGQFJg1Op7wzPY80YoCwyNoWvwGWN-3N7CUfIjMfnGk-rFeIvPo6PTpDzg7K_l5w9ph0YBublbqP7ErTiQ3Pn3JF/s1600/IMG_9008.JPG"><br />

To give you some background, Jai received a cake mix and candy cane to make Jesus a birthday cake on Christmas. Me being a terrible mom did not make the cake on Christmas and have been asked by Laila no less than 20 times to "paaaaaalllllleeeeaaasse" make Jesus' birthday cake. For some reason or another I have come up with an excuse not to do it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
So this afternoon we were on our way to the grocery store and Laila was not speaking to me very nicely. I told her that I did not appreciate being spoken to in such a tone and how do you think that makes Baby Jesus feel to hear her talk like that. She was quiet for about two seconds and responded with...."Well how do you think Baby Jesus feels that you haven't made his birthday cake yet!" I was appropriately chastised and in awe that she could come back so quickly with such perfectly timed reprimand of her own! Looks like were making Baby Jesus' birthday cake tomorrow.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
A couple of weeks ago I had a scare and thought I had lost my phone. I wasn't worried about losing my contacts or apps but terrified of the idea of losing over 1800 pics of Laila and Jai as babies to toddlers! So I finally took the responsible route and uploaded them to my computer. Looking through the pictures was a long trip down memory lane and made me realize only one thing, okay maybe two. One, I definitely want another baby. For those of you close to me, you know this is nothing new. Second, I can't believe how quickly they have grown into walking, talking, opinionated and hilarious little kids. Here is a snapshot of my favorites...</div>

Jai and his truck/cars have become one. Whether it is his "mater" tow truck or all his little sports cars they are always at least 2 in each of his pockets. I have learned the hard way that I must always check his pockets before I put his pants in the laundry...or when we are leaving school or.... a friends house. He has become quite the kleptomaniac!</div>

As you can clearly see 2012 was a terrible year for blogging for me. I just lost the motivation and didn't keep up with it. But, 2013 is a new year and I am pledging to blog Monday thru Friday for the entire year. I hope I don't bore you with our mundane day to day details but I will do my best to keep it somewhat lively. I also plan on adding all the funny quote Laila and Jai say. I already regret not writing down things in the past and I think this will be a great way to keep the funny things that come out of their mouth saved forever. Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Now to my first post of 2013....<br />
<br />
As we headed into winter I was really wanting to get the kids out of their toddler beds and into big kid beds. I moved them into a bigger spare room and Manik and I painted it a light shade of gray. Laila and Jai still share the same room so it was difficult to make the room not to girly and not too boyish. As a compromise I decided to go with fun bold colors and use as much free stuff as possible. <br />
<br />
I made their profiles on canvas and absolutely love the way they came out! I wanted to do some profiles of elephants and rhino's for above Jai's bed but I was afraid it would be to many faces!<br />
<br />
My mom sewed the curtains for me, they were the kicking off point for me, I am in love with chevron these days and have to find a way to get it into the room! I picked up a magazine rack off craigslist and painted that baby orange, now it holds all their books.<br />

<br />
I found the elephant at a thrift store and knew it would be perfect for above Jai's bed, it is solid wood and could give him a concussion if it fell so we have our handy man put that sucker up! The letter "J" i covered in yarn and am really happy with how gives it some more texture. I wanted to have something colorful for his wall and was thrilled when I saw "to the moon and back" pic at Home Goods! Laila's and Jai's bedding is polka dot and in fun colors, just wanted their room to feel happy and fun.<br />

When I was growing up there was a beautiful red barn behind our house. We raised pigs and lambs for 4H and played in the barn for hours during the summer. I have so many wonderful memories from that barn, recenlty it began to lean so my cousin who now lives in my childhood home. She decided to tear it down before it became a safetly hazard. <br />
<br />
This is a beautiful picture taken of my favorite barn before they pushed it down.<br />

Manik commented the other day about how much I was yelling. I hadn't realized how much I was doing it until he brought it to my attention. Now I have noticed how much Laila is yelling at Jai, it is a very clear tell that she is mimicking me. It makes me feel terrible and totally ashamed. I have decided to do a better job managing my frustration and so starting last Friday I stopped yelling. I began my own rehab, this rehab entails a great deal of deep breathing and keeping things in perspective. But I can proudly say that I have not yelled or raised my voice in four days! I have noticed that the kids are yelling less and I feel better about myself. So far rehab has been very positive! It is a happier home all around!!<br />
<br />
On a happy note Arjun arrives early tomorrow morning and I can't wait to see how much he has grown and catch up on all that has gone on for him in STL!<br />

Laila started preschool at W.H.E.E. Her teachers are amazing and I love how much she is learning. Currently she is on letter "I" and they made stone soup today. She reported back to me that it was delicious, her favorite part was the pasta and the carrots. Jai started "kindergarten" also know as mom's day out at St. Thomas More. He is also learning so much, their minds are like sponges. The funniest think about Laila going to W.H.E.E. is that every time someone asks where she goes to school and she says "WHEE" Jai follows up with, "I have a wee too!" This lovely little line has been told to many a stranger and every time Jai thinks he is soooo funny! We are so proud!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Poor Laila, this afternoon Jai was terrorizing her. She is no saint herself but I feel for her when he starts in, he is like a bull! So this afternoon I broke up a fight and found her upstairs looking for her blankie. I sat down and held her and she just kept saying," I don't like brothers!", "I want him to go away!"! It was like deja vu! Years ago I would beg my mother to give my brother Scott up for adoption! He was probably in his early teens and there was really no chance this was going to happen but I bet you at least once a week I was literally begging to her to get rid of him!! To my relief years later she did not give him up for adoption and I am so thankful! I told Laila I used to do the same thing and it made her feel better. It cracks me up how history is repeating itself!!</span></div>

Our summer has been whipping along so quickly! Being in Denver for our first full summer has been great! One simple reason is the lack of ridiculous heat! I am happy to say that today is a high of 80, while OKC is enjoying a nice cool temp of 110! <br />
<br />
One of the other great things about summer is here is our neighborhood! The kids have been taking swim lessons together at the neighborhood pool. They have a class of about 7 kids and a lifeguard is matched with each child. The lifeguards are so incredibly patient, kind but aren't' pushovers! They put of with Laila and Jai crying through more than one lesson and managed not to drown them, like I would have been tempted to do! <br />
But at the end of the day L and J both learned so much! Jai can monkey crawl (crawling along the side of the wall) around half of the pool, but still needs a little help getting the courage to jump off the diving board. Laila was a pro! She is a super fast monkey crawler and got very brave and will go off the board without assistance! <br />
I love that they are in the same class, each time they would take the kids back to the steps Laila and Jai would always make sure they were sitting next to each other. It is the small comforts. It would just melt my heart! Despite how they can fight at home when they are out in the big bad world they stick together! That is everything I have ever wanted for them!<br />

He will hammer anything and asks for new nails on an hourly basis.

This past Thursday we made a treck to Breck. We had a wonderful time, the mountains were beautiful! We took the Gondola up to the mountain and the kids had a fun time seeing all there was to see!<br />

The kids loved their first experience of putt putt, although getting Jai to not swing his club like a grand slam baseball player took some convincing! <br />

Laila turned out to be pretty good and had a pretty good swing! I think a set of clubs are in her near future!</div>

We were most impressed by Laila's adventurous spirit! There was a bungee trampoline jumping activity and Laila was determined to do it! She waited in line for thirty minutes and almost chickened out but she put on her brave face! She liked doing it so much she did it a second time! The second time we saw a lot more smiles from her. We asked Jai if he wanted to do it but he was not so keen on the idea! When we were watching Laila do her thing Jai had a very serious look on his face, we asked him what he was thinking and he said he was worried about Laila! It was so cute!! <br />
