MM-aah, MM-aah, MM-aah... NIMBYs!


I've been singing a silly camp song to Deven since he was born, and just this week he started singing it, too. We haven't captured it on film yet (still having camera issues); but it goes something like this:

MM-aah went the little green frog one day,
MM-aah went the little green frog,
MM-aah went the little green frog one day,
MM-aah, MM-aah, MM-aah!

Other verses continue "oink-oink went the little pink pig," "Meow-meow went the little grey cat," etc. It's just too cute that he sings the last phrase, and really only to me. I come home in the evenings, I see him in the mornings...whenever he sees me, he usually starts singing "MM-aah, MM-aah, MM-aah!" with a big toddler-drooly grin on his face.

In other news, here's the proof that Deven has entered a politically active (NIMBY) family. I love it!

What does this photo mean? It's posted along MD Route 108,

My parents were active participants in Citizens to Preserve the Reserve and is proof that my parents helped to ensure that the rural area I grew up in, which is surrounded by agricultural land, will stay so surrounded because it's part of what is now formally defined (and signed) as an Agricultural Reserve.

Following photos are of Yogesh's family:

Sameer & daughter Annika (2 years), who recently broke her arm and is in a cast. She's in good spirits now, but her break is a reminder of what we're getting into here!
