Today is our first day in Maldives. The kids are having a blast and seem to have been having a great time. Jaz has learnt the Dhivehi alphabet and Sam is working on his Dhivehi alphabet.

I will write more soon but I wanted to upload some pics of our view from this house.

I had a very hard time letting my kids ages 6 and 7 go half way across the world to Maldives without me. I didn't think that this would be so hard for me since they would be with my brother who takes excellent care of them. Until I knew they landed in Maldives I was completely stressed, worried and anxious.

I created a Manual for my parents so that they knew what to do with the kids while they were with them... I think it helped but I got teased a lot for worrying too much :) The manual includes directions for what they should do every day which might have been a little excessive. Here is a copy of what I put in there:

Recently I was asked to create an image for an article depicting which soft drink each search engine would be if it were a soft drink. View "Search Engines, the 21st Century Soft Drinks" for the article. While trying to create this image... I fell in love with my D40X Nikon all over again. Taking consistent pictures of the actual soda cans was a breeze.

This R2D2 Cake was created by Debbie Does Cakes for my son's 6th Birthday. It was the coolest cake I have ever seen!! For a larger pictures of this R2D2 cake visit FunAdvice
