Lately...

We've been having a lot of fun lately. Last weekend Sarah & Barney were in town. Oddly we don't have any pictures of them but Sarah and I went wedding dress shopping and I found the dress I plan to wear at the wedding.

We also convinced Sarah and Barney to join us in throwing this parachuting bunny from the window of our apartment. I felt a bit like an 8-year-old doing it which is what made it so fun.

Last weekend we also went Eid didani (visiting family for Persian New Year). Here's Sohail playing his grandfather in backgammon.

This is Sohail's grandparents' haft sin (seven Ss). It's a table with seven objects that start with the letter S (in Farsi) each of which represent something you hope for in the new year including prosperity, good health, and happiness.

Tuesday night we had dinner with Sohail's cousins. The couple on the left got engaged over the new year but we were in Charleston and missed the party.

Who won? I'm betting on Sohail's grandpa! :)

Sohail won! But he says that grandfather beats him a lot so maybe he just got lucky.
