2011

2011 was a good year for most part. Vinny won the Village Earthday Essay

contest and was facilitated by the Mayor of Oak forest. Jay came 2nd

in his spelling bee contest for 5th graders in his school and

qualified for the All school bee in Jan 2012. Our good friend Brian Thomas

got married to Anila and we are delighted to be a part of it. I was

given the task of introducing Brian at the wedding and it was truly

an honor. Lata's parents visited over summer and we took a short

trip to Door county which was absolutely beautiful. Boys went

para sailing and were frolicking in the cool waters of lake Michigan.

Earlier in the year, they went snowboarding and made the best of

the severe winter we had in 2011. Early February of 2011 we got

dumped with 22 inches of snow in 24 hours which brought the whole

chicagoland to a grinding halt. The icing on the cake was the

purchase of a VW Routan after sayng goodbye to old friend Olds

Silhouette who served us faithfully since 2003.


Hope 2012 is just as good or even better. We wish ourselves and

everyone a healthy and happy new year.
