Fun family updates!

We have a bunch of exciting news to share!

Pooneet, Ananya, and I are moving this week. We have LOVED living in San Francisco (Pooneet and I for over 5 years!) and Ananya is such a city girl, but we wanted to live closer to family and friends so we're moving to Los Altos.

We are also expecting baby #2! Ananya loves touching my tummy and saying "Mama has a baby in her tummy" :)

And we just found out that we're having a girl! Yay! My dream growing up was to have a sister, and so I'm thrilled that Ananya will get to be a part of such a special relationship. Pooneet is a little nervous about raising two girls - he says no boys are ever allowed in our house! But I also think he's going to be totally worshiped by his Goel girls :)

So in light of all this fun baby news, we changed our blog address to this one and hope you come back and visit to see what we have been up to!

xoxo,
Pooneet, Aditi, & Ananya

Welcome to the world, Baby Avani

Our close friends, Sid and Sarah, had a baby girl and now Ananya has a new little friend to play with!

Here is a picture of all of us with Baby Avani:

Yosemite family reunion

My side of the family (actually, my mom's side of the family) spent a fun-filled weekend in Yosemite. 12 of us stayed in 1 house, and we hiked, walked, napped (me/Ananya), cooked yummy food, ate yummy food, and caught up on all kinds of fun family gossip :)

Ananya had a blast, getting lots of attention from all her aunts, uncles, and grandparents, and even going on a few "hikes"!

Here's a video of Ananya in her hiking backpack:


And another video of my dad taking Ananya into the cold water from a waterfall. She hated it at first, but ended up loving it and spent more time in the water than the rest of us!


Here are some pictures from our weekend:

Baby Wyatt came to visit!

One of my best friends in the world, Rebecca, came to visit one weekend with her super-cutey-pie son, Wyatt and, with Eemo, we had a fun-filled weekend in SF. Ananya had so much fun with Wyatt, ordering him around, showing him how her toys worked, and sharing snacks with him, while poor Wyatt was stuck drinking out of pink bottles, wearing pink bibs, and playing with lots of pink toys. Poor guy! We went for walks, ate sushi, played in multiple playgrounds, went to Crissy Field for all of 5 seconds because it was freezing cold, and, when the kids went to bed, had fantastic girly nights of fun :) We can't wait to play with Auntie Becky and Wyatt again!

Here's a video of the two kiddies on a merry go round:


And here are some pictures from our fun weekend:

Slideshow - Ananya, Age 2

We got professional photos taken of Ananya when she turned 2. Here's a slideshow that our photographer put together for us!

2nd year photo shoot

Last month, we spent the morning walking around the Presidio and playing at Crissy Field as part of Ananya's 2nd year photo shoot with one of our favorite photographers, Veronica Suh (http://www.verosuh.com/blog/).

Here are some proofs that we just got - more to come later, but for now, I wanted to share these with you!
