It's been 7 hours and 15 days

Yes, nothing compares to you…

Yes, it's almost a year since I've written in this space. The last one year has passed by very quickly. It's a cliche to say time flies when you're having fun, but it's so true. In the last one year, there have been so many magical moments, and stories and experiences and travels we've shared with you, Rian. Each day I keep thinking of writing here, and each day it remains a thought. The barrier to writing is I want to capture the "whole experience", your face, your enthusiasm, your voice, and the whole story from my angle. But there's never enough time to write all that. I've been capturing a lot of moments in the camera, though, and almost processed and uploaded everything till Nov 2013, so I'm good there.

Here's a recent one that I must save:

I'm having a rough couple of weeks and come home yet another day without much "work done" according to my own definition. As I'm mentioning to Amit that "I've had a horrible day today", Rian chimes in to ask "Why Mumma, what happened?" I was certainly surprised by how coolly and calmly he posed that question. I decided to be all grown up talking to him and shared how I had a number of things to do on my plate, but ended up spending the whole day talking to others and explaining ideas and concepts to others, and didn't get any of my own work done. He says "Oh mumma, you should be happy, you helped so many other people, that means you did a lot of good work today!" Amit and I were just standing there, jaw open… speechless!

We say this often nowadays … I'm going to freeze you now, I want to freeze this time.

While I'm here, let me also mention Rian's improved his skiing a lot. This year Rian's skiing mostly blue slopes. He's also tried a beginner black at Dodge Ridge. Zoya has been an amazing company on the slopes this year. I even managed to ski with the 2 kids together for an hour :-) Woohoo… We've had 7 days of skiing already, Rian and me. Daddy's accompanied us 6 times. On most of those trips, Zoya's been with us. Shayona's joined us on quite a few of the ski trips too. Rian's really excited to ski with his friends, and also practices with us. Mommy and Daddy are really proud of Rian's progress. Mommy's really keen on getting Rian onto a ski team next year. We've missed a couple of birthday parties with close friends, mainly because we're hibernating on the snow capped mountains… hehehe…
