Happy New Year to all for the first time from Ahyan Zaman. This is ahyans first new year celebration.
Interestingly it coincided with Eid-ul-Adha on 31st Dec, 2006. That was also Ahyans first Eid celebration as the last Eid was a total disaster when he was only 8 days old. The last Eid we went to his doctor and also mine and none of them brought good news for us. It was one of the worst days of my life.
But this Eid we had Mir and his family comin in and having breakfast with us, liju had lunch, kathy and preston visited us in the afernoon, downstair's aunty and rahmat bhai and his family came in the evening, later faria and zeeshan bhai with family came in at night, and last but the not the least mir and family had dinner with us to finish the day. It felt like eid not still not Qurbani eid bcoz there was no rush of the meat and alll ...I missed dat a lot... We tried callin bangladesh spoke to ahyans dadabhai and dadimoni and mejho chacha. Also his nanabhai, antamoni and as it was cutting out, nanumoni the today.
Today we woke up early but was being lazy so got out of bed at 11, went to rohmot bhai place for lunch and while on the way dropped in at safwans place to drop some food off as they came from texas after a holiday....
Then we went to zeeshan bhais place where they held a open house meet few other familys..Amy, Nadia and auny apu was there.
After that we picked up ahyans stroller and picked liju uncle up to go to Elizabeth park but papa forgot where it was so we pin pointed the place today and will probably visit it next weekend. It was dark and cold so when we got there we did not get out of the car except for papa and liju uncle.
Later we went to broadway cafe, its a really nice classic coffee shop, with old architectural touch. It has a 24 hrs internet service, a small library, pacman playing machine, and table with chess board designed and ofcourse cofee, tea and bakery stuff.
Then we just came home and got dinner for papa from bombay garden and for myself from dennys. Its all bcoz i just didnt want to walk in to the kitchen after all day stay there yesterday....
It was a nice eid... Alhamdulillah a proper eid for the first time for Ahyan and for us, first time in America. Missed the families and friends back home though. We did it the best we could i suppose...
Shokor Alhamdulillah to Allah.....
New years resolution... well one of them definitely will b to get into the prayers routine myself and for papa

It was a complete Eid outside USA even though some of my good friends were absent in California (Ezaz and Sayeem's family in Bangladesh, Shahriar's in Austin, Texas and Praksah in India). We are feeling lot more relaxed now. Good job done to my lovely wife Shusmita and for Ahyan being patient at this age!
