Happy Father's Day - 2013

Father's day is held on the third Sunday of June. It is a day to honor fathers and father figures, such as grandfathers and fathers-in-law.

                       As always, Joshin was so excited that he got  a day to make another card. He is waiting for occasions. He was working on fathers day card for a week. This time without mamma's help.On Sunday morning both Joshin and Johaan wished their dad "Happy Fathers Day" and gave him the card. Johaan without understanding what it is, he just copied his bro. Then we thought of calling everyone whom we give father like respect and love. So first they called their grand fathers both Daddy and Appacha and wished them. Following they called Shaju Appa and Sanju Appa and wished them father's day and had a nice chat with them and their families thru Skype. To add little more sweetness to the occasion i made "Ari Payasam".

In the evening,dad took both of them to nearby park and spent couple of hours there. What else best gift a dad can give to his kids than his time in this busy world.  So " Happy Father's Day" to all the Dads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johaan's 2nd birthday

June 3rd - Today is Johaan's second birthday.For past one week planning, discussions and arrangements was going on between Pappa, Mamma and Achacha.

Birthday Cards - Joshin started creating birthday cards for Johaan a week before itself. Luckily it was Joshin's half term holidays. Finally he created a beautiful one with mamma's help along with his own birthday cards.

Birthday Gifts - Johaan got one Bowling Set and Joshin got Car Track Set for Johaan's birthday. In our house usually we buy gifts for both of them for any of their birthdays.

Birthday Picnic - Since we came to London just a month back, we hardly had friends here.

So a party with friends and relatives were out of question. We wanted to do something different instead and a picnic came to our mind. The idea was well welcomed by Joshin and we knew that Johaan also will enjoy. We decided to go for a day long trip to a beach. And the place is decided - Chalkwell beach.We reached the beach on June 2nd, around 11.30 AM. The kids played in the sand, making sand castles and Johaan breaking it. Then they played in a small pool nearby and Johaan was not ready to come out. Then a long walk by the beach side. Altogether a fun day. We reached back home by around  6 PM.

Birthday Dress - Johaan wore a Shirt and Shorts gifted by his Appacha before we were leaving to London. He looked cute in that dress.
Birthday cake - We bought a cute caterpillar cake for Johaan from a local store decorated by candles.

 June 3rd this year is on Monday. Joshin has holiday in School due to

Teacher's training.And Pappa took off at office. We woke birthday boy around 9 AM with lot of balloons in hand. He was so happy and understood some thing like birthday today. After breakfast , we went to the store to get the cake.In between he got his birthday wishes calls from both his grandparents.Came back and had lunch. We made Chicken biriyani for his birthday. Then a small nap.By Evening Kunjamma,ShajuPappa, Irene and Chechi came online and cut the cake in front of them. And it proved that in today's world distance doesn't matter.
