Our little girl, the winter is now over for 2014-2015 and Spring is almost here in early March. It's been soooo long since I wrote your last blog entry, actually last July to be exact. So much has happened since then, it's really hard to catalog here. So here is 8 months in short:
1) We had a great summer! Favorite time was going to the St. Michael's house on the water, where we swam int he pool, took boat rides on the bay and also tried (without any luck) to catch fish. You loved playing the sand! We also visit your great-great grandfather's lighthouse!
2) You started a new school. September brought catholic school uniforms! You love your new school and your teachers love you. You go to school so excited and your best friend is Kendal. Today I dropped you off in fact and Kendal yells out to you -- "today is our ice skating lessons"! You're almost done learning your alphabet and can almost count to 20. Language wise, you still like to say "thems"... like -- "thems better be good or thems going to be in trouble".
3) Mommy, mommy, mommy! You LOVE your mommy so much -- it's so awesome to see. You actually look a like like mommy -- you love playing with her make-up, playing with her bengals, and love your finger nail polish. You right now have this phase where when you wake up, you want mommy to dress you. You also are a fan of being fed by mommy too!
4) Play time: You love playing with your brothers -- you all play games like freeze tag or hide-in-seek, and when lucky -- you grab an ipad and even have figured out how to play minecraft. Favorite shows right now -- my little pony, anything to do with ponies, and ninjago (probably because of your brothers)
5) Halloween -- you dressed up as a -- you guessed it -- a princess! The one from Frozen -- the dress was really cool and lit up (like a blue color). We went over to Pooja aunties house and had a great time trick or treating -- you were running with the boys from door to door and had so much candy, daddy had to help you carry it home.
6) Thanksgiving -- great fun at our house -- we had everyone over -- and had way too much to eat! Most of our family was there, including Ammuma and Thaha!
7) Christmas-- total awesomeness! Everyone came over to our house again this year -- Ammuma and Thaha and Grandma and Grandpa. Sadhana chechi was there but Savitha Chechi couldn't make it this year. But we had so much fun opening presents and spending time with family. If I get some time, I will post up pictures from Christmas.
8) Winter -- so that brings us current. This was the year of snow sports. You got to start skiing this year and you were like a duck in water! It started by us going to Wintergreen, where we rented a one room apartment and did ski school that weekend. You were so good that you were doing down green slopes by yourself! We then went to ski liberty and did more skiing and ski school -- where you were soooo good my little girl! On top of that, Jan and Feb brought a lot of snow again. So we would sled down our back hill (and try not to hit the tree at the bottom of the hill), have snow ball fights, and eat marshmallows over the fire. We had one snow day on a Sat and all of our friends came over and we played all day together (sooo fun -- you played with Bella and Reina). Finally, we went to the farm this past weekend, where it started to warm up -- but the snow was on the ground and so we dug out three snow caves, had a snow ball fight and skated on the pond at the farm. Most pictures are from that time -- the top was from wintergreen.
I've said this many times and I must say it again -- your mom and I are so proud of you Aeowyn and the little girl you have become. You are so incredibly sweet, thoughtful, well spoken, kind, helpful, confident and loving. These are all qualities that make you so unique and will serve you well in life. It's a pleasure to be your father and to watch our lives unfold together. I will try to be more diligent here and write in a few more months to check back in! Until then, our lives continue to move forward with what seems like increasing velocity! Let's both hold on, enjoy every moment and have fun! We love you Aeowyn!
