The count down is on. Only 2 more days before the family gets together -- Vamshi's sister, brother-in-law, his mother and Vehd's cousin 7 month-old Dhruv arrive Wednesday night. In preparation for their arrival, we decided to rearrange the home a little. Put more accurately, I thought we were rearranging the home ... check out here, Amanda, our handy helper in the home here and Vamshi posing for what clearly looks like an auction. Look at the glee on Amanda's face -- could she be happy cleaning an old king-size mattress? No, nada, nahin, not. What else could it be? They were trying to sell that mattress and it is not even theirs! And check out the audience ... so in on the act .. so excited that they are almost peeing in their pants.
Setting up the home turned out to be a more fun than I imagined it was going to be. Between all the silliness provided by Vehd, Amanda, my commentary and Vamshi's playing along, we were all laughing more than setting up. No wonder it took 5 hours! Now, we have 3 full bedrooms in this home and they are all comfy.
To complete the holiday preparations, our dear friend Kristy, who's aunt's place we have rented; made, yes made, made, made by hand this gorgeous wreathe for us! She claims it is easy to make .. that's what all artists say, don't they?
Stay tuned for more as the week continues ...
