Well to start we have some big news! We officially launched AniVani.com on March 28, 2022! We’re so excited and look forward to seeing it grow!!!

Neera, Nikki, Naya and Naveen spent their spring break in LA and we also got to meet up with Ayesha and Tricia while they were visiting after filming in Mexico!

We took the kids and doggies to Oxnard for 2 days for their Spring Break. We rented a beautiful 3 bedroom home right on the beach. Aanika and Jatin had their suite and rooms downstairs with the pingpong table. Out master bedroom, beach views, kitchen, living room and balcony were upstairs. We brought food in each evening and spent the day out. Billy and Brownie were able to come with us as well. Mommy and Daddy joined us for a quick pizza lunch at toppers and ice cream back at the place. Both nights we watched stand up comedy. Seinfeld one night and Sebastian Maniscalco the other. We also took the kids to Golf and Stuff and Seabridge for coffees, park time and a walk along the marina. My favorite part of the trip was when Jatin and Aanika hung out at home while Nick and I snuck off for a 40 minute walk between the side alleys of the beach homes. They are so cutely done up and the walks are romantic. Can’t wait to go back. Spring Break 2022 was a success! read more

Thanksgiving Day 2019 + Billy’s 2nd Birthday

Had a very relaxed Thanksgiving Thursday. Mommy and Daddy joined us for spicy chicken soup lunch and in the evening the 4 of us had chicken pot pies followed by the premier of The Mandalorian by fire on Disney plus. It was also Billy’s 2nd birthday. Since In n out is closed on thanksgiving we treated him and brownie to birthday burgers and fries the next day! Nick also got in some great time with his latest pixel painting.

May 2018

There was a lot of fun events in May this year. I decided to bundle up a few of my favorite pictures and videos and will document them in one post rather than separate ones!

First: My darling Daddy turned 75!! To celebrate Neeru joined us in LA for a quick weekend trip and we all had dinner together. Neeru wrote a beautiful set of poems for Daddy while we gave Dad a custom painting I made. Jatin wrote a pretty candid and funny bit about his Nana looking better without hair, but just in case he would provide Nana with a hair piece from his lego collection.

Our lovely doggies continue to be a huge part of our lovely lives. A few favorite pictures from the last month below!

I hosted our first wine and cheese night for the neighborhood families!

A few other notable snaps. Arjun is back (welcome lunch), Gee and Neha visited with cutie pie Brody, Aaniku loves my tub! Jatin worked hard on his biography project (creator of Pokemon). Nick and I got our first Romero Britto from Miami delivered on Mother’s Day. Aanika went with her class to Moorpark Zoo for a field trip!

Memorial Day Weekend was nice and low key. Aaniku got her wish and went for a ride with Daddy in the Jeep! Jatin and Mark had fun playing with the slow motion camera.

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.

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)

Welcome Billy Gundara

| gundara

We adopted a beautiful 9 week old Mini Labradoodle last Saturday. We named him Billy! Originally we thought he was a girl – but found out he is a boy after our first visit to the Vet! Anyhow Billie became Billy when we found out. He’s 3 pounds and such a cutie pie. Below are some family photos we took 1 week from the day we adopted him below! Big Sister Brownie is super excited and intrigued by this little guy even though he’s so fiesty around her and wants to use her legs as a teething toy! She’s so gentle around him and is just about as lovely as a big sister can be! Billy has already become quite busy. He joined Nick and I at the Mecum Auction yesterday and hung out in my purse all day and then even joined us for a movie. Slept through the whole thing!
