Ami has arrived! She flew into San Francisco at approximately 12:30pm this afternoon (Saturday, October 9). Phil picked her up and the two of them were able to have some quality time together before they arrived in Redding around 8pm. We gathered at Ashish's parents apartment (which is also Phil's apartment at the moment) and had a wonderful time getting reacquainted. Ami hadn't seen her parents in 4 years and it had been 5 years since Ashish and I had seen her. Needless to say there was a great deal of joy surrounding Ami's safe and long-awaited arrival.
As expected, Priya and her Ami Fui (Aunt Ami in Gujarati) hit it off immediately. It makes me so happy that she will able to know her auntie as well as be exposed further to her Indian heritage.
After dinner, the party moved to our place for a bit (after getting Priya to sleep).
Thanks for all of the prayers that were offered up on Ami and Phil's behalf! We're excited that this time has finally come!
So fun for little girls to know their aunties! Nina and Aunt Marsha will talk on the phone for like 20 minutes. Special family times. So glad Ami made it safely and you can enjoy a mini reunion.
