Good Bye 2010, Hello 2011

Where did 2010 go? Everything almost seems to be a blur...I spent almost 350 days working last year I think (yes, that includes, nights, weekends etc).

I'm going to try to recount some happy times ...

January as always is a happy time, as I celebrate my anniversary with my lovely wife. This time, we decided to go to Las Vegas as our friends were staying there and celebrate. A couple of nights at their house, and one night at MGM Grand. It was a good trip! Here is a picture I could find, of giving my wife a surprise gift. I had my Brother In Law bring a pair of ear rings from India, and then send it to my friends place in Las Vegas without telling Lavanya :) (Yes, thats her acting surprised :D)



The rest of the year moved quickly, as we announced that we were going to have our second child!

Ofcourse, who can forget the monstrous winter of 2009 / 2010!


Time quickly flew by after that. We had my uncle, aunt & mom come from India in May / June (I think). They went on an US Tour and Alaska cruise and returned.
We went to a great airshow in May. This was our first time ever, and unfortunately we were a little late, but got to see some awesome acrobatics. Next time, I think we're going to go there for the whole day. Pranav had a blast!




In June, Lavanya had her surprise "Seemantham" or Baby shower at our neighbours house.






Then my In-laws arrived in August to help with our upcoming kid.




September rolled around, and my second son -- Vaibhav Chandra decided he wanted to be born before his due date, and he was born on Sept 3rd.

My parents flew down on the 10th, and so our house was full with family and joy!


On a side note, I flew so often to Toronto this year, it was crazy. I think I made 6 trips in about a span of 3 months, often staying there a week at a time.

After all the excitement was over, we all went to Minneapolis for a week to visit my brother in law (I flew in from Toronto and returned to Toronto !)

November came around, and my birthday passed silently this year, without a party or much fan fare! I think its owed to my little one :)

December came around, and time just flew. I was super busy with work, going to Toronto once that month as well I think.

2010 was definitely a year to remember because of the birth of Vaibhav, but not many things else, as it was a year of constant work and no play! I look forward to a great 2011!
