Playdate

Becky and I (and Aunti Jo) had another playdate this week.  We've had several playdates already, but this was the first where Bronx and Divya were actually both awake at the same time.  So of course, we had to monopolize on the opportunity and snap lots of pictures.  They are HILARIOUS.  Bronx was totally mackin' on D! And she does not look too happy about it...at all.

Bronx: 'This is kind of nice.'

Divya: 'I don't know about this...'

Bronx: 'Hey, what's up?'

Divya: 'Get off me, that's what's up!'

All joking aside, these two are totally buddies.  They're womb buddies.  Bronx was 3 weeks ahead of Divya in the womb.  It was so great being pregnant with Becky and sharing in that experience together.  She could always give me heads up on what was about to come down the pipeline (cravings, strange sensations, etc).  We ran together most of our pregnancy...and then walked together when running became a bit ridiculous!  Since D was born 4 weeks early, she actually came earlier than Bronx, but not by much!  She was born on a Friday and he was born early Sunday morning just two days apart.  So, their first playdate was actually at the hospital.  Now Becky and I get to share in the experience of being new moms and see the two of them grow up together.  It's truely such a blessing!

Worst Blogger EVER

Ok, I'm finally updating my blog and giving myself the title Worst Blogger EVER. I'm pretty sure the 3 people who actually read this blog have long given up on it. So much has happened since my last post. Arie is done with his coursework and is now working on his dissertation (yay!). I am still chiselling away at coursework for my PhD...slowly but surely. Big news in the Shrestha/Greenleaf household is the addition of our daughter, Divya Aleydis. She was born April 30, a good 4 weeks before her due date. She is 11 weeks old today, and like everyone says, her arrival has changed everything. I'm not sure how someone so small could have so much persnality...and with parents like us, she's bound to be nuts. Sorry, Diyva.

So, I am going to try to start blogging again. If there's anyone out there who is actually reading this...feel free to keep me honest. I should have no trouble finding the time. Right?!

Divya deep in thought...

Laughing at her daddy. Look at that hair!
