Just attended the final performance for Chorus this year. They performed 4 songs many of which we’ve seen performed before. My favorite is Man in The Mirror! I was excited to get a close up this time since the time they performed it in LA it was from so far away!! His teacher Mrs. Marshall is awesome. We’re going to miss her.

Miami 2018
Nick was awarded a top performer in 2017 award with his company and as a result we were invited to “THE MAIN EVENT” this year to join in the festivities with the other recipients. We decided to extend our stay by a few days (Thanks to my lovely Mommy) so we could enjoy some fun in the some post company activities as well. Miami was absolutely beautiful. This time of year the weather ranged from 75-85 daily with little humidity. It only rained one night and the rest of the trip was ideal vacation weather. Below are some of our favorite memories from the trip!
15th Wedding Anniversary Trip – Bakersfield
15 years has passed so quickly!! We knew we had an upcoming big trip to Miami next month so decided to spend a day in Bakersfield as tourists! I know it sounds strange, but it was beautiful! We had a lovely lunch at Luigis followed by indulgent ice cream at Dewars, a walk to the Fox Theater, a bike ride through Cal State Bakersfield, a walk through the beautiful Seven Oaks estates and more. All in all a beautiful memory and way to ring in 15 years married!
Jatin’s 5th Grade Chorus Performance
Jatin has been part of Germain’s chorus for 2 years now and they were excited to be invited to Chatsworth High School to perform at their Carnival of Knowledge. Him and his team mates performed 2 songs and were awesome! Later we found out that Aanika’s teacher Ms. Amber Schwindler was the mascot 🙂 Kartik and Zita joined us for the performance and we had the pleasure of listening to Model UN students and their speeches as well!! (not that exciting…but had to save the memory!)
Billy and Brownie March 2018
Billy and Brownie have been getting to know each other better. Brownie is a total gentle giant and is so good about playing with Billy. Billy is fiesty and tries with all his might to play like a “big boy” with Brownie! It’s pretty hilarious to watch. He even tries to drink and eat out of Brownies giant bowls. Some of my favorite play snapshots below.

Jatin’s 5th Grade Open House + Aanika’s Kindergarten Open House
Aanika and Jatin had their Open House for Kinder and 5th grade.
Some of my favorite moments captured below.
Jatin walked me through his room and him and his team displayed that the bridge they built out of popsicle sticks and tape could hold the weight of over 4 textbooks!

Jatin also received and Academic Achievment Award for all subjects this year! Way to go kiddo! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!
Billy The Toy?
I’m pretty sure we adopted a dog, but in the scenario below he sure blends in pretty darn well. (Reminds us of that scene in ET)
