I'm a godmother!

 June 27th

 Here is my godson Graedin Miller. I was so honored when my dear friend Misty asked me to be his godmother.

Even though I am not catholic, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire ceremony and the great sermon that the guy in the green robe gave (I never know what to call them). It made me want to baptise Zahra but being I'm not catholic probably doesn't make too much sense. Maybe we can dedicate her...grrrr..we don't have a church here in Rochester that we are really getting into. We really miss Woodland Hills, a church that Anil & I both LOVE.  

I am so ready to get settled somewhere so we can start putting down roots.

LESS THAN A YEAR NOW!!!!!!!!!

Z's hugs are the best thing in the world, they don't last too long but they sure are sweet!

Zahra wanted to play in the holy water

Zahra & Graedin

future "best buds"

We got to meet beautiful, Ava!

So we had a fun weekend in Wisconsin a few weeks back. Kate & Matt were in town and brought their beautiful baby girl, Ava. We spent the night at Becky & Ryan's gorgeous house....ahh someday I will have my very own house.

Hanging out at the Kurisch's house

Shake it girls!!

Back at the Patels...

an end to a fun weekend!

Happy 1st Fathers Day Anil!!

So I have been slacking on keeping up with my blog! This is a couple weeks late but better late then never- right? Anil & I both worked on Fathers Day weekend so we celebrated the next day. Zahra picked out a nice grey shirt and some black gold toed socks. She also made him some special pictures (thanks to the best nanny ever- Amy- that had watched Z for us on Mothers day & Fathers day!)

Her special picture for Dad!

So a little background about the next part of this blog. We have a bird feeder by our window that the cats & Zahra likes to watch. Well there has been a squirrel that has been eating all the birds food which hasn't been making me very happy. I've even opened the screen door to let Tipsy out to scare the thing away with no intention of Tipsy actually hurting the poor thing.

So that same weekend Amy found a little something in Z's pool! I got this picture text while at work....  

Beware a little graphic!! Not for small eyes!!

So the poor little guy drowned in Zahra's pool! I feel bad about the whole situation-its sort of my fault for not emptying Z's pool out after a rain storm that we had.  However, at the same time its kinda a little funny too, in a twisted sick way. So as soon as I saw the picture I texted Amy to just leave it for Anil when he got home- well she had already disposed of the dead animal and scrubbed out Zahra's pool.  The pool was back functioning by that afternoon!

Well it is official! I am going supplemental starting July 21st. What a relief. My plan is to work just as much but just be able to have more say when I work. Like not on Mothers Day, Memorial Day weekend, Fathers Day ect... "A" weekend was not a good weekend to be on this year.
