The Big TWO!

So I had created this blog a while ago intending to try to keep family and friends up to date on what all was going on in our lives with the boys, work, the business etc...... and then it sat... and sat...AND sat. The first post seems to be the hardest to write! So here I am about six months later and thought today is Sahil's 2nd birthday, the name of the blog was decided months ago and it just seems fitting to start blogging today.  A lot has happened over the last few years.... 2 moves, 2 jobs, and most importantly 2 amazing little boys! When Rakesh and I moved to Texas in 2007, I never would have imagined that life would be like this, just a short time later. We got a house built, made some amazing friends and opened a little business (click here to see the link). My full-time pharmacy job has become part-time which gives me a lot more time with Sahil and Nikhil which I love!  However, now work seems more like a vacation, as a day with a 2- year old and a nine-month old can get a little crazy to say the least ;)  but I would  not trade it for the world... so there is the short of it!

Now, getting back to today-- Sahil's birthday.  Well, this year has been so fun watching him grow and become the little man that he is.  He had a lot of firsts in his second year... his first steps, his first (and according to Rakesh, "his last") sibling, his first day of school, his first full-on "throw yourself on the floor" temper tantrum (it's not all cotton-candy and pony rides!!).  I've also watched his personality really take shape.  He is careful and caring, polite (his "thank-yous" are the sweetest) and energetic, a great and gentle big brother, head strong (like his Daddy) and charming (of course that would be from me :) ).  I am really getting sad that he's growing up sooo quickly! I am taking the day to reflect on what a special addition he is to our little family--how he makes me smile and laugh and drives me crazy all in the course of a regular day! I love him! So, Happy 2nd Birthday to my little Boo Bear!
