Today is Potluck Lunch day at work. A group of people in the team cook and bring a dish to share with the whole team.

It was a pretty full-on week last week; we just celebrated Chackochi’s first birthday last weekend. I still can’t believe my baby is 1!  The party deserves a post on its own and so I’ll put them up once I get my hands on the party pics. We had a small family celebration on his actual birthday, 10th July and then a full on party for all friends and family in the weekend....
