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:)
