Few Firsts

Firstly, the kids are in first standard now :-)

Notice the label on this post, kids are into their seventh year now. You would have noticed the new clothes to this blog for that reason.

Kids now have longer school hours and so more grind. They have new uniforms - blue pinafore and white shirt for 4 days a week and all whites on Wednesday

Nidhi had her first tooth fall. She was mighty thrilled about this event. Couple of her friends at apartment and several at school had started shedding their milk teeth a while back so there was enough peer pressure built up for this.

Last Sunday was the first fathers' day that I got wished by daughters. They made cute greeting cards and kept them by my bed before I woke up. That was cute.

Neha & Nidhi have their first pets now. A full blown aquarium with 3 mighty gold fishes and several gourami fishes to tag along. Thanks a ton sham & geetha for giving this.
