Sugunammamma giving Tala bobba to Tatamma


మా తాతమ్మకు సుగునమ్మమ్మ తల బొబ్బ చేయిస్తోంది. 
In this video sugunammama is giving a hair bath (tala bobba) to my Tatamma one week before she left to Jejaa.

My Tatamma and Sugunammamma

By Aniruddha and Divya

My Tatamma and Suguna Ammamma went to Jejaa last week.

                                    

My Tatamma
My Tatamma is my father's Grandmother and she was 89 years old. She was the oldest in our family.
My Suguna Ammamma is my father's Attayya and my Tatamma's daughter.
I loved them both a lot.


This is a picture of me when I was a baby with my Tatamma in Dallas.
My Tatamma's house was in Plot No. 7 next to Tatayya and Bamma's house. There was a gate between the houses. I used to like going to my Tatamma's house.
When we were in SMR, she also came to our house.



My Suguna Ammamma
My Suguna Ammamma lived in Singapore City in a garden house.
From her house, we could see the garden.
I went to her house some times. She also came to see us a lot.
In the photo, she is wearing a blue and red sarees and hugging my other Ammammas, who are also her sisters.

When my Tatamma was not well, Suguna Ammamma took very good care of her. She had a lot of energy.
In this photo, she is giving a hair bath (tala bobba) to my Tatamma.

I and Divya will love and miss our Tatamma and Suguna Ammamma a lot.



In this photo are my Tatamma and all her children.
My Tatamma is on the left side in the center and my Suguna Ammamma is standing behind her in a pink saree.

My friend the Alien from Mars

BY ANIRUDDHA

I wrote a story about a Alien who is my friend.
It took me to Mars
to hide and I saw Earth from above in space.
I drew a map for you if you haven't seen Earth from up in space.
Earth is blue and Mars is red.
Martians live on Mars.




Do you have any alien friends?

This is one of my favorite Backyardigans songs about Martians- they say "Boinga" to everything.


The Missing Knight

ILLUSTRATED AND WRITTEN BY ANIRUDDHA

I wrote a story about a missing knight named Werihi. He is a brave knight. Please help to find him.
I gave all the details in the story.
I gave a number in the story which was my fathers number so my mother made me tudupu it off in red color.
If you find him and want to call me, please call me at 197265896423.
He was last seen at San Antonio RiverWalk.
If you have never been there, I drew a map for you also.
The RiverWalk Marroit is there - we went there one time.
There is also a toy store in the map where I brought a lightsaber.



Do you like my Missing Knight story?

Jai Hanuman!

ILLUSTRATED BY ANIRUDDHA

This is a drawing of Hanuman by me.


He is carrying a Gadha and the Sanjeevni mountain.
He is also blessing us.
Behind him, the sun is shining!

I know half of Hanuman Chalisa and I am now learning the rest.

Do you like my drawing?
I wrote in Telugu on it also.

Yaaaay! I am a KungFu Yellow Belt now!

My goal is to be a KungFu Black Belt 7th degree.

Snow Day!!

By Ani and Divya


Today it snowed in Austin!!!!
So we had no school today!
We dressed up well and went outside to play.
It was too much fun!
We couldnt make any snowmen because the snow was too soft and not packable.
But we had a snowfight and we lay down in the snow and made snow angels.







Do you like snow?

Barack Obama

We learned about Barack Obama today.

BARACK OBAMA


This a picture of  Barack Obama with Superman .He is the 1st African American President in America. He is the 44 President of the United States of America.
He is born  in the Capital of Hawaii : Honululu .
He now lives in the White House at 1600 Avenue in Washington DC.
He has 1 wife and 2 daughters.
As a president, he makes laws and his Vice President is Joe Biden.

It is very cold today!

By Ani and Divya
Today is the coldest day in 15 years in Texas.
The temprature is 27 degrees F.
Yesterday night was 17 degrees F.
In America, we see temprature in F and not C so Farenheit not Celsius.
Our school started late today because of the cold day and because of power cuts.
On the sidewalk, they put rock salt so you dont slip on ice and fall down and break your legs and hands.
I didnt see snow yet even though it is so cold.



Groundhog Phil did not see his shadow yesterday in Pensylvania so it will be spring soon and we will go canoeing on Lady Bird Lake.

SpongeBob SquarePants pouch for iPod and iPhone and iPad

By Aniruddha
Today I sewed a SpongeBob pouch with a real needle and real thread.
You can put your iPod and iPhone in it.
They gave me a sheet to tell me how to sew it and it was very hard work but I did it nicely.
My mother showed me how to make the knots and everything.
She sewed the mouth because it was very hard.
I sewed the body and eyes and everything.
Next time, I want to make a dinosaur.







I made a purse today

By Divya

I learnt to lace and sew today.
I got a purse project from Michaels and sewed with a plastic needle and yarn.
My purse is very pretty.
My mother helped me but I did it myself only.


If you come to my house, I will also make you a purse.
