Birthday Cards

We had given Shalom a handcrafted birthday card last year. This time, both the older kids were determined to make me birthday cards on my birthday couple of days back.

Below are the scanned copies of the cards . . .

Dosa Plaza, Ranchi

Last weekend, we had lunch from Dosa Plaza, Ranchi. 

That was first time, the kids saw a 'rocket dosa'. 

Shalom and Charis put that into paper as soon as they came home . . .

Charis' Paintings

Putting Shalom's paintings on the blog was quite an incentive for Charis also to be artistic.

Thiruvananthapuram Rajadhani

Today morning, we just reached Kerala after 2 full days in the Trivandrum Rajdhani. 

A Rajdhani journey which I would rate quite poor comparing to my other Rajdhani journeys, I got some good snaps . . .

Drawing and painting . . . the major way for our kids to while off the time. 

Charis was so intensely immersed that she fell asleep

Waiting for a crossing . . .

While the older two watches cartoon, Angel tries to persuade Chesed into drawing and painting . . .
