Vyom's achievements in Sept 2015

We are very proud of Vyom as he again reached top 100 rating under 8 in US for Chess. His current rating 1292.

Vyom also won the 1st place in Tennis for Under10 Orange Ball Tournament in Portola Valley. He won all his 5 singles games. It was a delight to watch him play and enjoy!!

Vyom's busy life..

Vyom's growing faster than we had imagined :-). He is a 2nd grader now. We were just looking at some of his 3 year pictures and admired them.

He has quite a busy life considering he is just 7 year old.. He is in school from 8:15am to almost 5pm. Then on Monday's he has soccer, Tuesday Chess from 6:30pm to 8pm, Wednesday Swim lessons from 7pm to 7:45pm (Green level), Thursday - take it easy now, Friday not much.. Then comes the busy weekend with Saturday Soccer, Piano, Tennis. Sunday he has dance, Tennis Private lesson. The amazing part is that he enjoys all of it. He takes interest in what he does.

2015 Summer Time

Today, it's Saturday August 15th, and I'm sitting in Fresno Double Tree hotel while Vyom is playing his Chess Tournament.  We woke up at 7:30am and drove to Fresno for his game that started at 11am.

Vyom has had an exciting and busy summer. He had many achievements this summer..

1. Started playing Water Polo, it was a new sport that he picked up and is liking it.
2. Started playing Tennis tournaments (played a couple of Orange and Green ball tournaments)
3. Moved to pre-comp Swimming level
4. Started playing Ping Pong, as we got the table in June
5. Developed interest in playing Piano (we did get a piano at home and now Vyom's teacher comes home to teach them)
6. Both Vyom/Omya went for 4 week Harker summer camp together. They had a blast.

It's nice to see how he is growing up and picking up new things. Vyom still loves playing chess and has been teaching Omya also. His current rating is 1223.

Again, this summer we were able to spend good quality time with both Vyom and Omya.
They were lucky to have both grandparents visit them and spend time with them.  We also had Arunav stay with us for this summer and Vyom/Arunav enjoyed the time playing TT and watching soccer.

We also learned a new game that can be played in family settings (mostly in the car) called Contact.

Yom finally picked up biking as well. This summer Vyom watched the movie "Inside Out"

Vyom will start Harker 3rd grade this August 26th. Omya will started KDG, so the excitement is great..

He is growing fast and becoming a big boy! He loves his time with Noodles as well..

More to come soon..

Love you tons..
Dad
