Sports

We are keeping busy this month with lots of sports. The kids and I enjoyed our first ski day of the year, Nate is doing indoor and outdoor soccer, Riley is doing soccer and basketball, Ben is doing indoor soccer, basketball and swim lessons, and mom just joined a co-ed indoor soccer team! Go team Iyer!

Ben enjoyed his first time on the slopes!

Nate and I had a great day at his tournament in West Seattle.

Bruno is tired for us. :)

Happy New Year!

Happy 2016 from the Iyer family! We said goodbye to 2015 and rang in the new year at home with some friends - best wishes to all in the new year.

I forgot to get a picture of all the kids. Here are the girls singing a NYE song they wrote.

We started the new year with a cold but clear morning kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake. What a gorgeous day!

Merry Chirstmas w/ Badamma, Raji, Josh & Jessa!

The day after we got home from California, Mesh's side of the family came to visit for a week! What a treat it was to have sweet Jessa, Badamma, Raji and Josh here for the holidays!
