Levin's 3rd B'day

It started with lot of chaos on an unusually busy day but later proved otherwise, when I look back how we planned and went about celebrating Levin’s birthday . He managed to convince me to include all his elderly neighborhood friends along with 10 other friends in and around our house whom he spent his evenings playing with. He handled them with ease and made them absolutely comfortable and even made some amendments by allowing them to proudly display his collection of books and toys.

He amazed us with an unusual calmness and sharing attitude which were always a concern for us as parents. We were feeling proud when he was accepting the gifts with a grace and thank you smile and passing on to his Uncle with patience for keeping them safe. Our daughter Liana too made sure her presence felt with her chirpy sound and charming smiles without least of any reservations in the presence of new faces around.

It was a great evening with all our family members presence and made us proud of him when he was giving attention to all the needs . Even before I asked him to distribute the gifts, he went around giving the gifts followed by an instruction -"Open it only once you reach back your home"

What had prompted me to pen these thoughts in here is the fact that how amazing these kids are nowadays. They are able to demonstrate the needs and understanding of the priorities of a situation and are willing to adapt so quickly without no complains, which i myself had failed to do many a times.

I learned lot from my son that day. He actually itched stimulation to my wisdom. The gamut of activities and experiences he had demonstrated on that day made me feel the importance of connections we make everyday.

Liana with her Godmother

"Our lives here are about what we are going to give. And not about the love we received but the love that we gave"

When our little angel got baptised as "Liana Susan Kuriakose "

The holy angels all rejoice

On your baptism day.

Our Father reaches out to you

With love that leads the way.

The Holy Spirit rests on you

And lives within your heart.

He'll walk with you down every path

And nevermore depart.

The Savior's arms are open wide,

Surrounding you with peace.

May all your days be filled with hope,

And may your joy increase.

Loving the presence of Pink!!

“The image of your eyes folded over me is a perfect present of "eternal love, promising life and cherishing hopes" when I took you in my arms on 18th of April 2006 ”

Its one of those blessed days of God’s heavenly presence and answers to our prayers. A wonderful day which was unexpectedly delightful. One of those best kinds, after our Levin’s arrival in our life.

I am just loving it….the lovely moments, where everything is pink around you and you don't know exactly why or how - but the moment chooses you for that delicious upswing of emotions in the midst of something very dear and special. I call it as Gift of Life.

�Smile says it all�, Levin in his mischievous mood...
