Favorite Time Of The Year

Its closing in on my favorite time of the year

Any Guesses???

"Christmas"

Rudolph, Santa, Mistletoe's, Christmas Tree, Christmas stockings, Crib, Sweets, Gifts, Family, Lavish dinner's etc few of my favorite things during the holiday season.

This year will be extra special with Ayden celebrating his first Christmas.

Can already feel the cold air in the breeze and by next week im on a mission to get the house all geared up for Christmas right in time with the start of advent

Some of the mysteries synonymous with the  Christmas season ,which i had unraveled (Thanks to my curious nature) long ago such as Santa Claus, The flying sleigh, North Pole & the elves are all going to have to be rediscovered using my imagination. its going to be a challenge, lets see how long we can outsmart little Ayden.

All of a sudden carols such as "I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus" are going to spring to life.

Here's wishing you all a fun filled "Holiday Season".

Ayden's Baptism

Ayden took his first religious steps courtesy his God Parents & Parents who on behalf of him took on the responsibility of raising him up in the catholic way. Ayden was baptized on 12th Nov' 2009. May he grow up in the christian way and most importantly use his faith to be a good person. You have us son to guide you through life and instill in you the christian values and belief's.

Sun & Sand

Woke up last week & went for a stroll to the beach, actually it was breakfast to satisfy the tummy first and then the beach side activities. The whole family had fun & returned satisfied with our little outing. This was Ayden's first trip to the beach and he was basking in all its glory.

Wedding Time

Attended my friend's wedding over the weekend along with Ayden & the Mrs.. The little fellow was very well behaved and slept through it all. Nothing was going to stop him from his snooze and even though there was loud blaring music, he somehow managed to sleep though it peacefully.

Work's All The Time

Here's Something that always seems to brighten my day no matter what

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou 

Sharing this with you'll made my day, Hope it has a positive effect on your day as well.

Mommy Dearest

Since I’ve know her, Reem has always been strong, willing to fight it out just like a street fighter she maybe battered and bruised but remains the last person standing. The desire to be the best and achieve excellence is what has driven her continuously in everything that she has setout to accomplish. Motherhood though has thrown up its very own trials and Reem has managed to overcome those valiantly, I would never ever be able to understand the sacrifices she has made for me and my son but am glad she is always an arms distance or a phone call away. Ayden is in safe hands, hands that are caring, hands that are soft, hands that would protect him and fulfill his hearts every desire. Sleep deprived and full of aches she may be, but she will always be around. To mommy dearest we love you.

360 degrees

The birth of my son has been a life changing experience; the circumstances that led to his birth are nothing but mind boggling and miraculous. Living life will always be our greatest teacher and yet the simple things in life have always brought a smile to my face, like the dark cloudy days in the month of November announcing the arrival of winter or sunrises. Reem (my Mrs.) and I have been blessed with wonderful families who have always been there when we needed them. The other day I realized what it meant when people said life revolves 360 degrees and at some point in time you always start at the beginning, although I am sometime away from that event, I felt it when I saw Ayden being pampered my mother and Godmother whom I lovingly call “Aunty Irene” there in front of my eyes was a woman who meant the world to me just like my mother. In my early years as a little boy we lived in a joint family and thank God for those experiences, I would never have been so close to my family and valued every moment I spent with them if it had not been for those years. Mom was a working woman and in her absence it would be aunty Irene who would take care of feeding me, bathing me, putting me to sleep, comforting me when I would cry and at times even discipline me. I could really never differentiate between her and mom and I’m glad I had them both. Today she was there for my son just like she had been there for me all those years ago. Ayden is truly blessed for he has the most priced treasure “Family”.

Happy Halloween 2009

Happened to walk into Daiso on Halloween Day for a casual visit and came across all these wonderful costumes and accessories, So while Reem & my MIL were away, Janet and myself were at play. At the receiving end the superstar Ayden who tried on all the fun stuff and did throw up tantrums of his own.

Welcome Home Ayden

Ayden's homecoming was the first of many first's, his arrival gave a completely new meaning to the word "Home". There were efforts made by special ones to make sure his would be a grand entrance. The moment he entered we knew this would be our chance to wipe the slate clean and start all over again.The wait was a long one, but well worth the wait. We were all so excited and nobody slept the first night, watching his every move.
