And now for a musical interlude...

Ameneh and David sent a great video for Salma and Mani from London. A day in the life from chocolate, fish and mushrooms in Borough Market...to an blistery evening with the not so itsy bitsy spider at Tate Modern interspersed with performances from street musicians and other cool stuff. It's really well done. I've excepted a musical interlude that I'm sure Buby and Zaida will enjoy very much. Enjoy.

Fun in December

Everyone has been sick these past few weeks. Mani had an ear infection, Salma had 9 days of fever up to 103, Zahra and I got some kind of chest cold. Quite a cacophony some nights at home.

But recently we've started getting better. And to celebrate, I straightened my hair (Don't worry... just temporary). BTW, tomorrow we're off to Palm Springs for a few days.

Playing peek a boo with Mani

As Mani continues his development he's becoming more and more fun. Now walking he's also playing with us a lot more intentionally. Recently we've been handing things back and forth and here's a little video of "where's Mani?".

Happy Birthday Mani

Yesterday was Mani's first birthday. No big party. Just Friday night dinner with the family including Ali who captured the moment with Zahra's new Flip Video ultra
