Another long drive HYD --> CLT

 Yes, as I mentioned in my previous post, we vacated our flat and drove down to hometown in the very next day early morning. I had planned to prepare and carry lunch and break fast and hence got up really early. After a while Liya also got up and she started screaming. She was not comfortable to sleep in the room without cot and bed. She did not like the idea of sleeping in the floor on the blanket and did not get a sound sleep too.

Empty house...

As we are traveling to abroad for few months, we packed up all house hold items back to our homeland and decided to drive down. The 'packing and moving' day was just an hectic day in my life. We were shifting through a professional packers and movers service. Liya was extremely happy to see the house where everything was shattered and no more child proof. She ran between the big carton boxes, she did mouth every small thing she came across... It was all exciting things for her, she didn't know what's happening though.She tried to 'pack' her dress and toys in the small bags too.. :)

Liya hits one!

As per Islamic teaching, we do not celebrate birthdays. Birth days are considered same as any other day. So we did not celebrate her birth day in any means.

Below are few pics captured during her 12th month.

Liya @ one

Sweet little Liya,

Today you completed ONE year in this world; an year which just passed like a day. We never knew that one year is such a short period until you came to our life with tons of love and naughtiness... and life has not been the same since. You filled our life with new joy and we miss you the moments we are away from you or even the moments you fall asleep. We thanked Almighty Allah for showering His abundant blessing upon us, in the form of you too. We shall be thankful to him throughout our life.

We still remember seeing your face for the first time, you were such an adorable, active, smart doll..
