The kids had fun with Haloween again this year. My pumpkin reprised her role as a pumpkin. 
Shaan is working on being brave and decided to be on of the bravest. 
Tejus, of course, fought off the dark side of the force as Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight. 
Shaan's teacher was Cinderalla. 
And so was Nandani.

Learning to swim
Shaan and Kiran have taken swim classes at the YMCA in Princeton since July. Shaan was very afraid of the water at first but has progressed quite well.
Kiran initially had no problem going into the water but did NOT like getting her face wet.
He now jumps into the pool's deep end and appears quite comfortable in the water. The instructor uses a cute naming convention for how well the students do. Shaan just graduated from "pike" to "pollywog".
The swim classes have been a confidence booster for both kids. Now Shaan wants to play soccer and is more willing to try new things. Kiran now puts her head under the water.
Preparing for Halloween.
The weekend before Halloween, Shaan and Kiran picked out some pumpkins with their Fally Massi and Dipan Massa, and we sat around the dining table and painted.
Later Falguni and Dipan carved pumpkins into a cat.
and a castle.
The kids had a blast.
