Scenes from the Weekend: 5/5/25

Good morning, good morning!

Dadi is HERE and we are THRILLED.

She’s here for work, but we’re de-lighted to get to spend the evenings with her this week.

We’ll take whatever we can get!

I wish I had a camera recording them all day yesterday. The way the two little monkeys were hanging all overe her and shouting over each other, “DADI, THIS.” “DADI, THAT!”

The best.

This weekend went by quick. As they do.

We went to the library.

It’s so wild to see Riyu in the same space as Ishu when we first moved here. These little twin babies.

Riyu was very interested in the “puters.” And kept using them as phones to call Dadi.

We FINALLY got their passports done. I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, and it’s finally finally done.

Well, I guess I should wait ’til they’re actually in my hand before making that claim.

We spent a good two hours in the post office.

Mostly because my brain is on overdrive and I prepared everything the night before, only to forget the PRINTED APPLICATION.

So Ankur had to run home, print it out (which, surprise surprise, our printer wasn’t working at first because the kids think it’s a fun little toy), and then run back. All while we played hide and seek near the mailboxes. I MEAN, thank goodness my kids can find entertainment in the most random of things. (And that Ankur is a quick runner).

Ishu was upset he didn’t get to walk out with his actual passport.

But quickly cheered up when he got to eat pizza shaped like a bunny.

We were walking home and figured we’d stop at Eataly for lunch. Ishu ate a bunny pizza. Riyu ate a heart pizza. And Ankur and I had some pasta. So delish.

Ishu drew a family portrait. Emphasis on Riyu’s ponytail.

Yesterday morning, I got to meet BethyV for brunch! We haven’t seen each other since PRE-KIDS and it was so nice to squeeze her in real life after so many life transitions.
