The First Haircut, November 05, 2006


Relic and River got their first haircut today. We thought to do it ourselves for the first time. Maybe next time they will go to a babrber shop with daddy or maybe Dai Behrooz will take them with him when we are in Iran.


The boys were really good and made it easy for us to cut their hair. Michael did the most part of it, but I was there to screem if he was doing it very badly. Image


I was really excited seeing my babies with new haircut. They look much older now and it makes me dream of when they get their haircut before going to college. Time is going really fast and I know it will not be so far away from now. It makes me kind of sad to see that my babies are growing up so fast.

6 month vaccination, November 03, 2006


Today Relic and River got their 6 month vaccination. I wish there was a way to not let them feel the pain, but ....


I did feel bad when I had to help the nurse, holding Relic's little arm and leg to not let him move. Relic was looking into my eyes and I was trying to not cry. I just hope that my little boy can understand how painful it was for me seeing him screaming. I was trying to explain for the boys before the shots how important it was for them to get the vaccination. I know I looked silly at that time but I just wanted my boys to know that  was with them.


Relic was really smart and remembered what was going on as soon as we undressed him and put on the examining bed. But maybe River didn't want to think about bad things and that's why he was still laughing just before getting the shots.


They are sleeping right now and I am trying to move the painful imagination of them crying, out of my mind.

I will miss October, November 01, 2006


We did have a busy but beautiful month. The boys got two teeth each and learned to walk ( or run ) with their walkers. We did go trick or treating in Michael's office and the boys really enjoyed it. The twins Halloween party was great and we all enjoyed it. We went to have the boys pictures taken in their first Halloween costumes and for their 6 month birthday and we are really happy with the pictures.


Yesterday morning the boys were on National TV on CVB Chanel and luckily we could tape it but we were too excited to forget calling the family and tell them to watch the boys. And finally we went with the boys for trick or treating and everybody loved our boys in their cute pumpkin costumes.


October is my favorite month living in Salem and I am going to miss it. But we all know how time goes fast. In one snap October will be here again we will enjoy it even more with the boys running around not needing their walkers.

Trick or Treat ?,October 31, 2006


Entry for October 30, 2006

My babies are sleeping, giving me some time to write. I look at them and enjoy how innocent they look. I know they have nothing but love in their hearts. I wish they could stay like this forever, but ... Life can be tough sometimes and teach us things that we may not enjoy to learn.


We have had a very busy month, but October is my favorite month, living in Salem so I have enjoyed every single day of it.


Tomorrow is my very good friend, Charlie's birthday. I know how blessed I am to have a friend like him, because he is always ready to help me when ever I need an emotional support. Of course, I haven't met him in person yet, but it doesn't mean that I haven't been able to smell the bread that he makes  ( Sometimes i think of his bread as a symbol of warmth and support ). He is very good to explain all the good things around him : the love of his wife, the beauty of the area that he lives in and his bread . I can't believe that I have never been in his place ( however Michael and I are thinking about going to see them maybe next year ) Charlie thinks of my children like his grandsons, but I don't think of him as a father, because he is a friend , a very good friend to me ( and my father had never been a friend to me ). I have shared with him many of my doubts and he has helped me to go through many problems in my life.  I have been thinking about getting a special gift for his birthday but I couldn't think of anything  except telling him : Happy Birthday, Charlie !

October in Salem, MA, 2006



You should have lived in Salem to believe how exciting life in October ! 


We have been in two beautiful parties. The first one was in Michael's office where all the kids and some adults were wearing costumes. Our boys were dressed like pumpkins and they looked really cute.  The other party was twins' Halloween party and we all had a great time.


Today Jay,  Jeanne and Meagan are coming to see us. Image
