*smack*

the picture of timki with Daniyal deserves another post...

well my dear friends... he is NOT our baby :-D fatee ki friend ka beta hai... timki alone is enough for now... we think we will give her her share of attention and love before we bring atleast half a dozen more kids in this world... :-D

thanks all for your wonderful comments... hopefully will post and visit gs more regularly inshaAllah

posting after around six months now... i hope everyone is doing fine...

am working on a presentation and as usual looking for excuses to not to work so here i am posting :-D

timki keeps us busy and entertained all day long and apart from that, nothing new happening... recession has effected the consulting market was out of contract for a few weeks but Alhamdolillah have a good public sector contract so this year wont be as bad as I had anticipated :-D

...

here are some of timki's pics these are a from Sept-Oct. I am still waiting for fatee to transfer pics I took in Pak...

mom made this for her when she was in the UK



this one is from Eid day... again, mom made it for her... even the bling bling cap :-D



This one is from Eid milan party...

after spending wonderful two weeks in Pakistan I am back to the UK :-( alone :-( Timki and Fatee will be back on 30th Nov....

had such a wonderful time there, this was my second trip to pak, first one was for a week for shaadi so didnt enjoy much but this time was totally different... started my holidays with a hugeeeeeee dinner, then sampled some food at melody food street in Isb, after that every meal was at some friend/family's place... in between I was down for a couple of days...

couple of weeks back, we went to Isle of Wight for 3 days. it was Timki's first long trip away from home... we were a bit worried about her sleep and how she would cope with the long journey by car and then by ferry... but Alhamdolillah it was all fine... she slept well in the travel cot and she was alright with eating outside

we went to the Needles Park, Butterfly Gardens, Shanklin Chine, etc etc... here are some of the pics...


on the chair lift to the pebbles...

busy at work, busy at home, busy everywhere...

so much to do and so little time *sigh*

its teething time for Timki so shes cranky at night, fatee is not getting enough sleep since last 2 nights, i am working till late at home on my new website and waking up at 6 in the morning to be at work at 7

fatee's cousin is here for couple of weeks good that he doesnt want us to take him to places or spend time with him, he goes out every morning for sight...

heres my father's day gift...

actually the bib is bigger than her but its the message that counts

so here are the pics after the ear piercing... i think timki will agree that the pain was worth it :-)

we will have to keep these studs for 6 weeks then we will change it to something of our liking...

cruelty is what i call this



bechari meri timki :-(

the look on her face says it all

here are some of the pics from our trip to Portsmouth a few days back...

Timki had a wonderful time lying on the glass floor.. it is at 100m on top of the tower...

Our trip to Windsor Castle was Timki's first trip... she behaved very well mashaAllah se... the weather was not too good but we had a nice time. Ammi loved the idea of the audio guide where you enter the reference number of any room you are in and it gives you the description kind of thing...



the guard on duty...


...

timki is growing well mashaAllah se.. and shes not a cry baby at all...

she has learnt to put her fingers in her mouth... she starts with one finger, then two, then three then four and then she gags and removes her fingers and starts all over again





...

a boring day at work been here 4 hours already... 4 more to go... tick tock tick tock tick tock

have couple of certification exams coming up in April... havent started reading yet *yawn* the weather is not helping either... hopefully i will change my routine a bit from today inshaAllah so that have some active time at home in the evening... i started coming to work at 7 everymorning so that i could leave at 4 in the evening... this not only gives me more time at home, it also reduces...

okie so as promised here are the plates we made with Lamiya footprints....

i still believe mine is the best

heres mine





heres the one that fatee and ammi made...
...

we took Lamiya to this crafty cafe thingee where you can paint and do stuff on ceramic items then they bake them and give you a glazed one after a couple of days...

we took her foot prints on 2 square plates, one for my side of family in India and one for Fatee's family in Pak... we added all the details like date of birth, weight, time etc as well... and then I showed some of my super duper creativeness and made a mess of my plate i will post the pictures of the plates once...
