a visit from uncle srini

this is uncle srini. many years ago he was one of mother's internal med docs at the hospital. we became friends and the rest is history. well, sort of....five years ago...two days before vivian was born, srini moved to denver. it was for a wonderful position as a "real" doctor, and i was very happy for him. we have remained friends via phone, email, etc...and every year he sends a enormous box of wrapped presents to my children at christmas, but has never actually met any of them! so imagine my surprise when i got a phone call, almost five years to the day from when he left, explaining he was in town!! what a great surprise...

he was a natural with baby frances.

and then big kids thought he was awesome, teaching them how to use chopsticks.

what a great time...please don't wait another five years, uncle srini...we had a blast!
