The kids have officially started school.
I"m not going to belabor the sharing of information ... but the boys both seem very content, happy and excited to be at school.
Tony is a trooper and is handling a full day of school quite well ... and Terran seems to be already adapting to the rigors of a high school schedule.
The campus of school is quite impressive. The staff is friendly, the water is drinkable, the food menu is delightful ... and the pickup line after school is RIDICULOUS ... I'm telling you that your worst nightmare of a pickup line at a school in the United States is cookies and ice cream compared to this mess.
Mia has the day off today because of Raksha Bandhan ::
Raksha Bandhan is an occasion to celebrate the sacred bond of love and affection between siblings with lots of verve. Also known as Raksha Bandhan across the world, this festival is primarily a north Indian festival that is celebrated all brothers and sisters to express their deep emotions, love and affection.
On the day of Rakhi festival, the sister ties Rakhi on the wrist of her brother and both make prayer to God for the well being of each other. Sisters perform 'aarti' and put tilak on the forehead of her brother. In return, brothers make promise to take care of his sister under all circumstances. Usually, brothers gift something to the sister to mark the occasion. The mirth that surrounds the festival is unsurpassed. Amidst the merriment the rituals are also followed with great devotion.
The ritual of Rakhi tying has become so important that come what may, brothers and sisters try to visit each other place on this particular day tin order to bring back the oneness of the family, binding the family together in an emotional bond of love.
Pretty cool huh? Call your siblings today and share the Rakhi love!
