A'salaamu alaikum ya'll. It's been realllly quiet here in blog-land lately. I guess a lot of vacations, etc. BTW, I hate the word "vacay". Nothing personal, it just annoys me. Sounds like a lazy "vacate". :-)
So I tried unsuccessful for a loooong time (longer than I want to admit!) to upload a video of Aaminah with her step-sibling and Alex. Unfortunately either blogger wasn't cooperating or maybe my connection was slow for some reason.
Anyway they didn't get loaded after trying for a couple of days, then I just got annoyed and said, "Whatev!"
So here instead, for your viewing pleasure, are some pics of little Miss Aaminah and her brother. I am sure there might be some others thrown in; really it's just a grab-bag of photos today.
Enjoy and I promise I'll get out of this literary slump and write something almost worth reading. :-)

| The look of pure joy from having 4 older siblings to play with you! |
 |
| I couldn't get ALL of them to look cute at once; I figured Aaminah has the most lee-way to look bad in a pic! lol |
 |
| Alex sportin' Yousef's jacket. A few sizes too small! |
 |
| Being gooby at Wal-Mart. :-) |
 |
| I went to an Indian restaurant with Sr.Lisa and Aliyah. It was AWESOME. She loved it masha'Allah! |
 |
| The end result. She even picked food up with her naan! |
OK so I feel like I've at least posted something. :-) Ma salaama ya'll...

Beautiful kids, mashaAllah! You're making me hungry, girl!
Alex is quiet handsome, thanks for sharing the pictures.
Also, Yousef looks a bit shy. Was he better behaved while your son was visiting? Maybe he feels dominated by all the estrogen in the home that makes him act out with a less than stellar attitude.
Thanks Mona and I fully intend to go back to India Cafe. The palak paneer was awesome!
Janice thank you for your compliment. You know, my stepkids all behaved pretty good when we have guests. Yousef really can be sweet but it's the other 99% of the time... :-)
His mother left when he was very little and she isn't a stable influence. I think that is part of his problem, he doesn't respect women because of that. Somedays are better than others and I just ask Allah to help me be a better stepmom.

Aaminah is one gorgeous girl, mashallah. Is her biological father South Asian? Just wondering where the olive skin came from :-).

LostFan, yep Aaminah's Abu is Indian. Good eye!
