Its been so long...

Gosh! Its been a while since I have posted. Where was I? Lot happened. With start of day care for the girls, we experienced our very first viral fever, cold, congestion and fever. Plus P and I managed to catch it from them too. So it was one germy household. Luckily they caught it one after another. We learnt a lot of do's as first timers, a lot of phone calls to the Doc and visits. Just a week after they got another cold. Since I am still working from home, we pretty much made them bunk school and we had them with the Nanny and me with the previous setup before parents came. Its a tough call but like everyone we make the decision as we feel best for our kiddos, so we let them fully recover from sickness and regain their appetite before sending them back in.

After they recovered my parents also returned back home. I know perfect timing, they are a blessing that way, they are always by my seide just when you need them, extra bonus for being an only child, missing them terribly. So its just us. Actually it was just us when the second round of cold started. Its still lingering mildly now but they are teething with their first molars too. So it kept us nice and busy. In the mean time we got done with their 15 months vaccinations and gave them their first flu shot since they will be going to day care.

So lets just say their 15th-16th month was spent for the first time in trying to build immunity. In the mean time I have been trying to get into a routine. Basically yours truly didnt enter the kitchen for past 6 months, well that's an exaggeration (I dont deny I am a spoilt brat ;)). I did enter the kitchen to cook for the girls and all their needs, rest of the household needs mom took care off (besides spoiling the girls thoroughly ;)).

In the mean time fall has kinda set in, well it did past week, and now since a couple of days its back to being warm again. Looking back it was one fun summer having parents over and taking the girls out and watch them experience a lot of firsts - first trip to the zoo, the beach, carousel rides, museum etc etc
