Mehendi

June 29th, 2010

Ashwini loves getting Mehendi on her palms when she gets a chance and the wedding we attended two weeks ago was no exception. She enthusiastically sat with the Mehendi crew to get her hands decorated. A couple of pictures of her Mehendi or “Mindy” as Adit likes to call it.

Same clothes

June 24th, 2010

Last week, we attended my brother-in-law’s wedding. It was a good time to take out all the nice clothes. Here is us at the reception wearing the same clothes we wore at our wedding reception about 14 and half years ago.

I don’t think we look much different compared to 14.5 years ago…

Summer fun

June 9th, 2010

We get a periodic newsletter from our childcare provider. A recent newsletter was about fun outdoor activities for kids. We love to go out for walks in woods and observe & collect all kinds of stuff. There are some wonderful ideas in this article to add more activities to walks. I am looking forward to trying out some of these on our next walk. Click below to read the full article.

Condition for playing

June 9th, 2010

As we walked into Adit’s classroom this morning, Katie called out to him.

Katie: Adit, come here. Play with me. Sue put boats in the sensory table. You can have this blue one.
Adit: Are you going to kiss me?
Katie: No.
Adit: OK. I’ll play with you.

Oh, this boy has such rough life!

TIPS

June 1st, 2010

I usually buy Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) directly from U.S. Treasury (TreasuryDirect.gov) at every auction and reissue. Due to some changes in their policy, scheduling future purchases (other than the very first auction) is not possible anymore. This is very annoying and hopefully, they’ll bring back the old scheduling system again. In the meantime, here is a tentative auction schedule for TIPS from the FAQ at the website. I hope I remember to visit the website often to schedule these transactions.

  • 5-year TIPS: April and October
  • 10-year TIPS: January, March, May, July, September, and November
  • 30-year TIPS: February and August.
