Dec 2009: The day has arrived ...

Woke up early in the morning and got ready to go to the airport.  Feeling excited, sad .. mixed feelings .... going on this journey without my family is something that i had not looked forward to .. leaving them behind for a few weeks/months would be a new experience for me and my wife .... we decided to be strong for our kids ... esp the twins ... Masha-ALLAH

Abdul Matin still sleepy

 some of the uncles and cuzzies

 some of the aunties ...

me, wify and abdul matin
