lately

January was a bit of a blur and just like that it is already over.     

We started the year off with H turning nine and hosted an epic secret agent birthday party for him. 

I started the year of with a fun puzzle. It was super cute and easy. There was one missing piece though.

We also made a visit to the orthodontist and found out that D has completed his invisalign treatment. And will now only have to wear a retainer at night.. wohoo. While I am not allowed to share his before teeth.. he did give me permission to share his after. He still has some baby teeth left so the doc will monitor accordingly. But the improvement has been massive.. especially if you knew what the before looked like.

We also made a really short trip to Houston over a long weekend. My sister in law lives there and we hadn't seen them in a few years and her kids had been begging for a visit. We had a great time.. tons of family bonding and great food. Houston is the hub of desi (pakistani/indian) food.. and oh it was all so good. We ate far too much.

Did we take pictures of this food? Of course not.. (smacks forehead). But I did get a picture of the amazing Voodoo Donuts.. yes I did.  

D has been taking some cooking lessons.. with mixed results. The kids are assisting in the cooking rather than cooking all by themselves. So he found the it a little boring. As he already assists me in the kitchen when he can. The kid get way too much homework.

We went to a Rangers game (ice hockey) and they crushed the Vegas Warriors :) It was fantastic!

H got some book swag in the mail thanks to the amazing Max Brallier author of The Last Kids on Earth series. He heard H was a fan via twitter and reached out to us asking if H would like some stickers. How sweet is that!

How was your January?
