Graduation and Cancun
I'll post some pics of Joshua's preschool graduation. A couple of days later we left for our Memorial Day vacation to Cancun. We went with 5 other families and Joshua and Noah loved playing with their friends in the pool and sand for 4 days. It was so nice to relax every day and not have a schedule. All inclusive is definitely the way to go and Cancun was a short 2.5 hour plane ride from Austin.

End of spring
It's been a couple of months since I've written on this blog so I will do my best to update.
A couple of days after Joshua's birthday the Jacob family came up for a visit to Austin. We had a good time going to the Thinkery and hosting a dinner with more friends Sat evening. Loved making those bunny cupcakes with the kids. We always have a great time when they come up to visit.
On March 29 I ran the 1020 race with my brother, Bindhu, and Shilpa - a 10 mile race we'd trained a couple of months for. It was the first significant race pertaining to mileage I'd ever ran. I finished it in 1hour 42 min. which was a 10:16 min pace. Subin stayed with me the entire time though he could have gone a lot faster. Not bad for my first real race. And now I'm kinda addicted.
In April we had an Easter Egg Hunt with Louise and Trisha's kids at their neighborhood park. Unusually cold but we bundled up and had doughnuts, cookies, and of course candy. The next day we celebrated Easter at church and then went with Mom and Dad to Roaring Fork for brunch.
We also had fun at a carnival at Patsy Sommer (Joshua's future elementary school) on a Fri. evening. He loved showing Noah his school.
The following weekend Sunil and Julie came to celebrate their friend's wedding and we had a fun time celebrating Shilpa's birthday at POP downtown after Steve and I had a quiet dinner at Bess's Bistro prior to the hailstorm.
On May 1 we hosted a dinner with our fellow Austin Keralites - fun to get all the kids together and eat good Indian food.
Mom and I went to the preschool for Mother's Day Tea on May 6 where we were both treated to lots of fun things that the boys made for us. I loved wearing the huge pink hat Joshua made with the rest of his class. Made me a little sad that it was the last time I'd do this with Joshua.
On Sat May 9 we went to Disney on Ice at Cedar Park Center and the boys had a blast! They loved seeing all the characters and listening to the songs. So nice how close it was to us!
On Mother's Day we went to church and then to Mimi's Cafe with Mom and Dad. After lunch I was treated to a couple of hours of shopping alone!! So nice to go shopping uninterrupted! I also got special cards and athletic clothes from the boys!
The boys had a great last couple of weeks of school where they both had fun water days and then Joshua had his graduation day on May 20. He was so handsome in his graduation cap and loved watching him accept his scroll from his teacher. So proud of him all grown up! Of course I teared up a little while watching the slide show and listening to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Joshua turns 5!!
So far we've had a busy March but the highlight has been that our firstborn has actually turned 5!!
I knew this day was coming for a while but I just can't believe Joshua is a whole 5 years old!
Joshua was in his 2nd golf tournament on March 1 in which it was 45 degrees at 2:15 when he tee'd off! Dad, Steve, and I joined him for the next 3 hours in which he seemed to be having a great time while the rest of us were freezing! It was all worth it because he finished in 2nd place! He was so proud when he got his medal! He couldn't wait to show Granny and Noah when we got back home!
Steve and I were able to attend the Austin Under 40 gala on the 7th in which we supported our friend Shailee who was nominated under the Medicine category. It was fun dressing up for a black tie event and getting to see the new J W Marriot in downtown Austin.
I took Joshua to Kindergarten Round up on Mon. the 9th. It was an orientation to his elementary school he'll be attending in the fall. My friend Poonam who's on the school board met us there and made us feel welcome. Joshua and many other kids went on a tour and did activities with the teachers while the parents also went on a tour. He was excited about his new school!
The next weekend Mom and Dad joined us at Top Golf to celebrate Joshua's birthday weekend! Joshua and Noah enjoyed the beautiful morning and didn't want to leave. We went back to our house for cake and of course lots of presents courtesy of doting grandparents! And of course Noah wasn't left out!
Spring break started on the 16th and they were excited about not having school for a week. On Tue the 17th we had a fun day celebrating Joshua's birthday. We had chocolate cake at Mom and Dad's and then went bowling and played arcade games. Afterwards we had dinner at Pluckers! He loved his day and we tried to make him feel pretty special!
