Baking

Nusayba really enjoyed helping me bake this honey bunt cake...

Beading

I was really surprised with Nusayba's attention span. Some of these animal/object shaped beads are really thick and quite difficult for her to get the string through, but masha'a Allah, she did the entire thing on her own.

Frustrating at times, but I did it!

A day at Gilroy Gardens

The funnest part of having 'ami (my uncle) here is that he went on all rides with me

OK, not all rides...

Yes, I was afraid at first. I got used to it after a few seconds, but abi decided not to take another picture :)

Banana Split

Abi and 'ami really enjoyed themselves on the banana split ride--they were shaking when they got off:)

Beautiful falls

'ami's here!

Nusayba really enjoys spending time with her 'ami Ahmad (uncle). She sees him once a week on average, but continues to ask about him daily until he comes over the following Friday.

Visit to the farm

We spent a few hours on Saturday at the Hidden Villa farm in Los Altos. It was kinda raining, but alhamdulillah, we all enjoyed it.

First the chickens

Yeah, Nusayba was really afraid of the chickens at first

Then the cow & sheep

There was also a blacksmith at the farm and Nusayba got to ring a bell--many times!


Nusayba: The farmer

mushrooms

pumpkins

and yummy tomatoes
(I couldn't stop her from eating it)

My very first pigtails

Nusayba really enjoyed having her hair done-up today.

I wish it would just grow a little faster:)

Balloon baby

Every baby's just gotta have this shot

Watching Iman

Nusayba doesn't get enough of Iman (her sister bel-radha'ah) She loves looking at her pictures and especially enjoys her entertaining videos. She usually laughs out loud, especially if she's watching the video for the first or second time.

Asmaa spitting

Asmaa seems to enjoy this very much.

Unwinding

Wednesday's are our longest days at school. We just got home and the girls are relaxing and unwinding

Our new buggy

Yes, our new stroller is very comfortable, easy to maneuver, fun to ride especially on a jog....

But the best part is that ummi feels so guilty for spending so much $$ on it that we get to go out everyday--and sometimes even twice a day! (and thus the next few photos:) )

At the Park

We had such a great day at the park this morning and I got to push Asmaa on the swing for my very first time!


Yup, I'm a climber and Asmaa loves the swing!




The ABCs...


Nusayba sings the ABCs (or her version of it) all day long and then when we get home she wants to watch other kids singing it on youtube.
