The Shah's and the Moatazedi's

After church today we had lunch with Nirav and Rajeshree Shah and Dave and Dinah Moatazedi. Nirav, Dave, Dinah and I all went to high school together. Dave and Dinah have a little girl named Sienna who is absolutely gorgeous! I apologize but we forgot the camera once again. All I have is one photo of Nirav and Sebi I took with my cell phone. The rest are of Nirav and Rajeshree's wedding in Tennessee almost a year ago (1-2 Jul 06). Mariah and I went with Dave and Dinah and had an absolutely amazing time! Notice Dinah is still pregnant and Mariah is unaware of a decision we will make only a month or so later that will bring you this blog. Enjoy.

Nirav and Sebi:

Nirav's grandmother, Ba. She is sadly no longer with us, but at the wedding she was sharp enough to remember me and Dave, my wife whom she had only met once, and my occupation. She lived with Mr. and Mrs. Shah half the year and Dave and I used to see her when we went over to his house in high school (middle school as well for me). She is sorely missed.

The marriage ceremony. It was impossible to get better pictures since we were in the back.

Mariah and I at the ceremony

We asked this little girl if we could take her picture and she put her hands on her hips like this to pose. She was so adorable!
