Chuna my little cutie pie -- you are turning out to be such a wonderful
little girl. I'm so sorry that I have
not captured as many stories as I should have over these past 6 months. You have really grown so fast my little baby. You're very tall for you age and are quite
the conversationalist and mini fashionista at a very young age.
So onto the blog catch-up. I'll start with our india trip. We left in June to go for three weeks to
india and the Maldives. We got to meet
your family from mom's side of the family -- which was lovely. We stayed in Kochin first and had fun
visiting Ammuma's sisiters and aunties.
It was so fun getting to know them.
We also took time and went to do some adventurous things like going to a
river and helping to wash elephants -- which was so fun. But you didn't want to pet the elephant, as
they were big and wet. You kept talking
about how the elephants were smelly.
We also went to a resort where they took us on a boat to view the
backwaters of India and viewing how people live in rural areas. You all got to look at fish and see how they
live -- and even saw what old Kerala homes look like. You even got to the drive the boat after
seeing your brothers drive. The funny
part was when the captain tried to steer -- you would try to slap away his
hands. The next part of the trip, we
went to the Maldives and landed on a little strip of land in the middle of the
Indian Ocean. We hoped a boat and you
all loved being on the boat as it took us to our resort. The resort was lovely and served western food
-- so you all refueled up again. You had
a blast playing on the beach, in the ocean and the pool. Our little house was only 20 ft. from the
water's edge -- it was stunning. After 4
days of sun and fun, we tralved to Trivandrum and stayed at Thatha's
house. We visited some more friends and
family and then went down to Kovalam for 2 days. Our hotel was unremarkable and it was cold
and wet the first day, but the second day we went to visit a Taj resort and the
pool was awesome -- you and Rohin and Talin spent the day climbing the little
island in the pool and jumping in. We
would have your life jacket on and you would just float around the pool. It was so fun.
When we got back, we ended up coming back to a messy house as it was under
construction. We finally finished the work in December.
Xmas was also fun, we had all our family with us. For Xmas, you had lots of great presents from
Santa Clause, including your own bright red little motorized truck, a set of
dolls that represent all disney princesses an a dress up trunk. You asked your brother to write your xmas
list for you. Xmas day brought lots and
lots of presents, which you loved. I
think you changed your dress about 10 times that day. Speaking of, you really love your dresses and
make-up. You love going to mommy's
closet and digging through her make-up bag.
You are very notrious for leaving lipstick kisses on walls, doors,
hands. But I have to say, you are such a
loveable girl. You love to give mommy an
daddy hugs and kisses and love your mommy tucking you into bed at night.
Daddy and mommy are so proud of you Aeowyn.
You are such a good girl, so sweet and a very hard worker. Even your teachers talk about what a pleasure
it is having you in their class. It's a
pleasure being your daddy Aeowyn and mommy and daddy love you so much!
