Happy New Year (2018)

Hope you all had a great start to the year 2018. This time I purposefully decided to hold off publishing my new year blog till late in January so that our little Riaan can join us as we send your way our heartfelt wishes for a happy and prosperous 2018.

Aritra, Ria, and Riaan says: Happy New Year !!!

Riaan said hello to the world on 12 January, 2018 at 4:44 am. At birth he was 7 lbs.



We came to know about his arrival around the end of May, and the countdown started from then. It was quite an experience--all those doctor's visit, the ultrasounds, the baby shower events, and finally the labor room episode. Sharing some photos as we were awaiting his arrival:

Among other things in 2017, Aritra traveled to India for a month and spend some quality time with his family. He went for a short trip to Shillong (in the Northeastern state of Meghalaya in India) with his parents and his sister. Here are some photos from that trip:



Ria had the company of her mom in Summer. She stayed in the US the whole summer and traveled to places like the Yellowstone National Park, Colorado mountains, Delaware Beaches, Atlantic city, etc. Sharing some of the highlights from our summer:


That kind of summarizes the year 2017 for us and with that we raise a toast to the year 2018. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead of us as Riaan starts his journey. 

We hope that the year 2018 has in store a lot of joy and happiness for you and your family. 
Once again, we wish you a (belated) Happy New Year. 

Lots of love.
