Aash at Home

Isa has a new obsession -- bay blaze (what I thought he was saying for the longest time)..but it is actually Bey Blades. It is what he has been whining for about for a week. Apparently this the newest and coolest gadget on the block that he had to have.. especially since Rayan (his friend) has plenty. This weekend Ajee promised him that he would get him one on Sunday. Sunday was also Yusuf's 1st birthday and all I wanted to do was to make it special for the lil guy..I mean it’s such a big Milestone, Ajee, on the other hand did not really see what the big deal was, it’s just another day and it happens to be the same date that Yusuf was born on last year..so why should we stress ourselves out on a nice Sunday afternoon when we will be doing a party for him later..he wanted to rather focus on his website (that he works on every Sunday in a secluded coffe shop away from home) he did promise to bring me back the pizza though. You know what that means -- the Bey Blades had become m

Just yesterday Hasan asked me what I would buy if I win the lottery. Not being able to think of much , I said the IPad! Since I love my IPhone so much I could just imagine how amazing this tablet would be. Little did I know that my little wish was going to come true so quickly. Today as soon as I got home after my work out, Isa came running to me with my (recycled) gift bag. I looked in and it was an IPad. It was so out of the blue that I didn't even know how to react. I am actually finally playing with it now after Yusuf  is asleep and Isa, Asim and Hasan are done playing with it. I can't believe I actually have one of these. I always wondered what it would be like to blog with an IPad and now I know. I just had to type this little post to test my new toy. Thanks Ajee for making a regular day so special! I love it! RIP Jobs!

My Shining little Son is is turning One! Mashallah!! I just can't believe it; time really has just flown by so quickly. It’s amazing to see how much Yusuf has grown from the quiet little new born "Chup Chup" (one of our earlier nicks for him) to the fiestiest and most energetic little person I know. He is definitely anything but Chup  (quiet). He is extremely alert and involves himself in everything and anything going on anywhere around him, and although he can't talk much he can get his point across with his actions and two syllable sounds. There is something definitely extremely special about this little guy. When he enters a room, you can sense an instant arrival of positive energy along with him. Yusuf keeps us entertained, active (and busy) through out the day (to name a few) by: turning off Amma's TV right when she is in the middle of a very intense scene of an Indian Soap taking out Amma's nicely folded clothes from her cupboard or laundry b
