The break..

It has been more than 10 days since I even came to check blogger. That should tell you something about how busy life has become after the return from Austin last weekend.

Work is busier than ever for the parents and school is picking up speed for the kids.

Thankfully they have become more responsible and have been at their best behavior in the last 5 days!

They are also understanding to the work constraints of daddy and mommy and that brings a tear to my eyes.

On the plus side the news is slowly breaking into a different pattern..

People have stopped hyping Mankaatha..
more folks have reverted back to their original photos instead of Anna Hazare in the last week and yes..
US Manufacturing (a favorite pet peeve) is in the limelight albeit for notorious reasons with Solyndra being raided by FBI!

The times, they are a changing!

To forget all of this the plan for this weekend is to pick up the camera and do something fun and get the kids involved as well..

Maybe HDR photos of Maggi noodles as they are cooking?

I am daddy

The little one has a new fad now. Walking around wearing daddy T-shirts and claiming "I am daddy!" It is hilarious. Caught her on video when she was least suspecting it.
We had fun yesterday at Big Trees state park which was a 3 hour drive away. We also visited a mining town that has been preserved to look like the early 1900's called Columbia on the way back that reminded us of our trip to Ballarat in Australia many years ago! It was one tiring trip for the kids who did 2 mile walks and some steep climbs to get to the Stalinslaus river. Now the little one has a cold and both kids are going through Daddy withdrawal symptoms as I make my way to spend this work week in Austin. Time for her to grow up and be daddy! .
