When Natasha was a teen, Michael Jackson was big. Now Evan and Jalil dance and perform to Thriller. Cute! Of course, when Layli and Natasha were children they listened to Buddy Holly songs.

Grandparents day was just before thanksgiving and the children all had prepared little presentations with their Indian names and what they were thankful for. Here Evan is confidently giving his presentation.

We then went to their classroom and participated in some learning activities. Here he is with one of his teachers, then with his grandmother (Naysan’s mother) and then with me.

Visiting Natasha and Naysan… Evan is using Excel and was explaining to me how you could make the same tables in Word, using the table features. He is obviously showing interest in math. Here Naysan is showing him math concepts.

Evan’s Birthday

For Evan’s 5th birthday, he had a space party at the Harrisonburg Children’s Museum! Naysan created a solar system in the room from streamers, we played space-themed games, made aliens, had a galaxy treasure hunt (where the kids went to look for different planets) and, of course, the traditional birthday cake & presents.

Here are some pictures of him dressed as an astronaut and enjoying his party with all his pals!
