For the past couple of days, this is all I can think of. The V’s are coming! V and V are my cousin and her daughter and they are visiting us for a week. After a longest time I will be having company at home that involves (hopefully) a lot of arratai sessions and general […]
I spent all of Sunday in the company of my little niece and my cousin whom I had not met in a year and half. Playing with my niece, feeding her, rocking her to sleep, I had no idea how the day passed. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. As she […]
