Cute as it can be, March 30, 2007

Here is a picture of Relic under a dining table ! His brother can also be seen in the background.

We had gone to see my high school teacher yesterday and the boys were enjoying how they could. They both love being under the tables. Maybe they feel more privacy like that ( If Mommy let them and doesn't bother them with her camera )

The Bithday Party, March 27, 2007

Behrooz, my kind brother had a birthday party for the boys in his place and his family was so nice to help with everything.

It was Behrooz' realy birthday but he shared the day with my boys.

Relic & River will be one April 21.

My Days in Iran, March 26, 2007

I can't believe that we have been here for almost 2 months ! My babies have grown up ! They even didn't know how to crawl when we came here, but now, they both can walk !

It is hard to think that my babies will miss all the love that my family has for them. I can't say who loves my babies more because everybody plays with my babies and loves them in his/her own way which can be really special.

River & Relic look very much like each other, but each one of them has his own way to make people love him. River is very sweet and shows his feeling easily. He has been dancing, clapping and laughing in most of the parties but Relic has been showing what he has learned ( and he has learned a lot ). He is very sweet and makes people talk with him most of the time.

I know my babies and I are going to miss all the love and help that my family has for us, but I also know how it is going to be hard for my family not having my babies around.

Tomorrow we are going to have a birthday party for my babies at my brother's place. The boys' real birthday will be in 3 weeks, but because none of my family will be with us then, we decided to have a party for the boys here when we are still in Iran.

After 50 days, March 18, 2007

My very dear husband, Michael is flying to be with us right now. We have been apart for more than 7 weeks and during this time we both have seen how we need each other. He is my best friend, my soul-mate and I have been loving him more and more each day.

The boys are too young to understand that their father is coming to be with them, but I bet they will enjoy seeing him tonight.

Entry for March 06, 2007

I haven't had time to write about all the things that the boys have learned to do during our trip.

Everybody believes that our boys are smart and has been trying to teach them different things. I believe that River is as smart as Relic but he often doesn't care to obey when we ask him to show the things that he knows. Relic is not like him this way. He does care about how people think of him and responds to everything that we ask him. But I believe both of them are sweet in their own way.

The boys both knew how to clap and how to move their heads and how to pretend being kittens before our trip. But now, they have learned much more. ( Thanks to my sister and her family who have been really kind and patient with my babies )

Relic makes clock sound :TIK TIK and can find the clocks on the wall where ever we go. He also points at lamps and says BAA which is a baby version of BARGH and means electricity in Farsi. They both have their little arms up, looking at ceiling when we ask them to thank God.Relic moves his little body front and back when we sing for him DADOO DADOO. It was what my niece used to do when she was a baby and my sister liked my sons to do that too.
They both call everything that they eat NAM NAM which is a word that Relic created when I feed them. They both love to flip over and do it if we help them. ( Relic has done it once by himself ). They both have started to walk a few steps. Relic loves to stand up and does it sometimes and River loves to walk around the house if he has one of his hands on the wall.

They are growing up faster than I could imagine and I do feel lucky to be their mother.

Gheysar Aminpour, The Last Letter of Love, March 2007

Here he was, weak and tired of all the pain that he has been having. I had been wishing to let my sons see him, something like they could learn from him all the things that I had wished my sons to be.

And I was happy to see that my sons were looking at him like they knew who he was. They were looking at him with love and respect. And I was wishing that he could give my sons a piece of his pure soul to help them live their lives better.

Yes, here were my sons: at very dear poet of time Gheysar Aminpour.
I wish one day my sons can learn from him all the things that I wished to learn but couldn't.
