Dhandapani is a happy go lucky guy!

Arrival of Dhandapani...

Yesterday my Chittappa brought home a new friend, and we named him Dhandapani! I am going to need a bigger room :-)

That's Vrindha, isn't she pretty??!

Vrindha and Vishay come for a visit

My cousins from Ausin - Vrindha and Vishay came by last Saturday for a very short but sweet visit. Atleast we got to have lunch together! We plan to visit them at Austin soon!

Another scintillating pose!

Donning a very traditional Indian flower - JASMINE - on my head. Check out the Topaz pendant given as a gift by my grandparents for my birthday.

Thatha's Birthday

Last Friday (May 26th), we celebrated Thatha's birthday at Vijay Chittappa's house. It was a gala evening and fun was had by one and all. We frolicked in the pool, helped cut the cake and generally had a grand time. My good friend Ethan was also present to grace the occassion.

What a wonderful evening it's been!

Hanging out at the Addison Park after the party....

The kids were watching a movie, while everybody else was partying :-)))

Cutting such a GOOD looking cake is a sin....!

Helping her cut the cake....she can't do it without me, right?

With candles this time!

Thathi's beautiful cake!

Dad got her two dozen roses!

Giving her an advance kiss!
