For father's day I wrote a blog on mycity4kids as part of a competition.

As I was writing this blog ... I really wanted a good photograph of the kids with Suresh and I went on a hunting mission. It was really hard to find. Probably because Suresh is the photographer in the family and I find the camera way to heavy. As I managed to find two that has Isaac and Ziva at the same age ... i.e. JUST BORN and put it on the blog, Isaac walked in. And so I started showing him pictures of when he was little and Ziva walked in. And I started showing her pictures of when she was little. And then we went into videos. I soon realized that we had spent almost an hour just looking at home videos of my first born and then my second born and then the bonding between the two of them as they grew up. I also has tons of me looking very good. :)
But there were very few of the man behind the camera with the kids - note to self - click more pictures of Suresh with the kids.
Why do I write this note to myself? Well every afternoon since that one afternoon, Isaac has been asking to see pictures of  'When Isaac was a baby' and 'When Isaac was reading to Ziva'
I guess if years later anyone (and by anyone I mean a teenaged Isaac and Ziva) complains Suresh didn't spend 'quality' time with the kids I have tons of photograph with the eyes of Appa looking through the lens trying to capture every ounce of cuteness there is!

I used to complain that Suresh clicked too many pictures when all I wanted to do was walk along and finish the chore we had set out on.  But this past week I am very  grateful for the numerous pictures clicked by Suresh! Thank you again!

My favorite of the three of us taken by Suresh is the one the mycity4kids website with me in the hospital robe new mom to 'TWO' babes ...

Here are a few other favorites!

One and a half: Quotes from Isaacland

So we have been training Isaac to say his age. But since he seems to have no concept of time we have to regularly update him that he is growing 'older'. I am also trying to help him see opposite ... fast ... slow..old... young
So we are a taking a walk and a few school kids walk past and say 'Hello' to Isaac and Ziva.
Isaac turns around and says ' Ziva is one and a half'

The kids have a puzzled look shrug their shoulders and start to walk away when I call out 'He means Ziva is one and half years old!'

I look at Isaac and say 'Isaac you have to say Ziva is one and half years old'
Isaac 'No Isaac is old .... Ziva is young!'

So much for opposites!
