Kerala monsoon & Annika’s grandparents - our Finnish Indian family
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- Monsoon season in Kerala is the most beautiful time of the year, and maybe in all of India, and we get to enjoy some particularly spectacular views from our house facing the Arabian Sea. So we were happy to return home from our long travels in Jaipur and Mumbai to enjoy all of this. Even though for me that meant that I also had to roll up my sleeves for a huge monsoon cleaning project to get rid of mold and fungus that had accumulated in our house during our absence. But it was very important to me to get our home and life back in order again as we welcomed my Haryanvi in-laws back to stay with us for September, to spend time with Annika, enjoy the rainy days together and watching Annika growing up way too quickly.

My name is Johanna North. I’m a Finnish woman travelling in India since 2016. In 2019 I married my Indian husband and we moved to the state of Kerala in southern India, where we are still living. In 2021 we welcomed our baby girl into this world. On this channel I share videos on blending our Finnish-Indian family life, culture, food and travel mostly in India, and sometimes in Finland too.

What an amazing child. Multilingual with perfect motor skills. Great parenting. Kudos to you.
Thanks a lot, you’re so kind! 🙏
After a long time ...atlast. like fresh rains , we were parched dry wanting for Anikaas videos. Take care of your health..Annika is growing and speaking a lot. And she speaks all 3 languages. That's fantastic. Love to Annika from her Uncle..😊
She never stays quiet really, at least not very long 😅❤ such a big girl indeed!
Hello from New Zealand. Your daughter has shot up so fast and grand parents always around helping. Such beautiful family. 💜
SHE IS GIFTED WITH VERY HIGH IQ. GOD BLESS HER... SHE IS AN ANGEL.
THE WAY SHE HOLD THE PAINT BRUSH.... TOUCH WOOD..
Kerala geography, climate, Monsoon is another level experience... 😊
Rain, rain go away.... little Annika wants to play 😂😂😂. Oh dearest Annika....you speak so well now. Have been missing you and was thinking about you if there'll be any video of you with Dada and Dadi since it's Diwali season. Love you Annika. You're so sweet.
Oh indeed i tried to finish the editing and posting of this video in time for Diwali to at least have something family themed to post since this year we’re not spending Diwali with Dadi and dadu or even really celebrating ❤
This video touched my heart, Johanna. Annika is adorable. She speaks proper sentences in Hindi and English. So much progress!Loved her helping with cooking and serving. Kudos to Vinod and Johanna for nurturing the cute Annika!
She’d love to do all the cooking as long as there’s no pressure cooker 😅❤
@@JohannaNorth 😀
Dear Annika: How I have missed you. I am recovering from hip replacement surgery, but I was so happy to see you again in this video. It really lifts my spirits up. You are growing and blossoming into such a smart, inquisitive, loving little girl. You are an absolute doll. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face once again. Big hugs and kisses.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got teary eyed in the end. Youve captured relationships so beautifully.
Been following your channel now for few years.. Watching Annika grow so fast, Is great. Her innocent voice, caring for animals, love for fellow beings, and so many other traits.
I hope we can push this planet to sustain lives for at least another 200 years.
People are just so greedy these days that they forget how to treat others. They attach value to things not people. Soo much to learn from childrens. And they should be taught these things at a young age.
I got teary eyed in the end. Annika is such a wonderful kid. 💗
It's always lovely to watch Cute little Annika chirping, playing...God bless you all!
She has grown so tall and cute. Already learning important life skills ... god bless her with long life and prosperity.
GORGEOUS video Johanna. Your videos do cheer me up after my mum's passing. It's sooooooo LOVELY to see Annika. She's so bright with all the language skills. And she has such excellent relationships with all your relatives. And of course I cried along with her when her grandparents were leaving on the train. Johanna I'm so glad u like the clearing that the monsoon brings and you are super organized with the tidying up of the home. I am glad u went for your physical therapy and your health is better now dear ❤
Ps Annika does excellent painting. She looks as though she has advanced fine motor skills. She's a super star ⭐
Namaste and Blessings
Kas ❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️🕉️❤️
Happy Diwali Kas, wishing you lighter times ahead ✨🙏 hope you’ll find as much peace and joy with my upcoming videos as we have a special guest here, my mom!
@@JohannaNorth oh how wonderful. Im really looking forward to your future vlogs dear,❤️ Happy Diwali you and your family darling ❤️🕯️
Ohhh no I don't like it when she is crying I love her cute smile she is so attached with family now because she is growing so fast
Annika is lovely child and as they say morning shows the day, she is going to be a beautiful person inside out when she grows up. Her love for family, compassion for animals , curiosity & love for nature is ❤️And she is making food for herself at this age . 😅
Wow! Your house is surrounded by so much green. It is so soothing to the eye.
It’s very calming to live in the middle of so much nature indeed 😊
@@JohannaNorththere is lot of green, beach , river and fresh air . wonderful place to live in.....
right but house can't be defined by its location .... it's defined by the people/family which lives inside it and your neighbourhood ....but just a little bit not much is affected by its locations
Baby Annika's little roti looks very cute & yummy. Little hands helping Mommy Johanna with the house chores. It's so adorable. God bless you.
grand parent and grand child had bond that is beyond any words
You will not believe it but this is the second time that this happened! On Friday, I was thinkin hmmm no new video in a while and there it was, a notification on my inbox! Crazy...
Class video. She's growing by leaps and bounds and appears like a proper wild riot around the house😅
Love the way you have raised her... The parting good bye captured so well. 😢 When she realizes it's a no-go .
Happy Diwali season and best of everything to you all . Blessed by nature and blessed with Annika !! ❤
Oh Annika baby Last emotional scene with grand parent's , Johanna ji hai ajj kal Indians bhi grand parent's se time nahi bhithathe app apne sas sasur ko kithna sammans dekh Rahi ho parent's vysehi app ko ijjath de rahe hai so nice of you Johanna my isi Karan se appko respect karthi hu.🙏👍
omg Annika is a cutie pie... I am amazed that she understands Hindi, English and Finnish☺last scene made me sad 😌
We put a lot of effort into her learning all our family languages, but of course I also think that she has natural talent for learning languages! 😊
@@JohannaNorth great parenting..you guys rock 😍👍
lovely Annika and lovlier bond with grandparent
Awwww, heartbreaking to see Annika saying goodbye to her Dada and dadi. Love watching Annika speak.
Beautiful video and annika is still focused on cleaning the house😊.as she grows into a big girl...her bond with grandparents is so heartwarming..
Wow! So glad to see anika growing happily and healthily. The last part of departure was too heartbreaking. Yet Anika understood so well. Love and hugs to little Anika ❤️
I hv to agree..Annika's teary goodbyes to Dadi n Dada were v touching. But she recovered enough to wave to them with pouty lips n tear- filled eyes ❤
Annika on kyllä varsinainen papupata. ❤ Ihanasti höpöttää. Ihan ku olis sanonut Daddy mukaan. 😄😍
That protruding lower lip and sobbing at the end of the vedio broke my heart😢😢😢
When she does it at home she makes it quite difficult to tell her no, because it’s just too cute 🫣
Johana pls continue with self care. Your Anika is an energizer Bunny and keeps you on your feet. She is multilingual ❤️. Shub Diwali 🇨🇦🪔
Sorry Johanna to know u were unwell. May u recover n get back your well being. Later u may want to try yoga to keep your overall health...a yoga ctr nearer your home possibly. Tc ❤ 😊
I would also cry like Annika while leaving from my grandparents place , they are long gone but I still miss them ,grandparents are moving libraries 😢
Such a sweet goodbyes! Anika, it is always hard to wave a goodbye to Grandparents. Lovely bonding!!
Rain rain go away little Annika wants to play 😂
This video made me miss my college hostel. My college is in a hilly area and I used to wake up daily with a view like one from your balcony. It is really beautiful to see green hills and trees. It is mesmerising to see sunrise and sunsets where sky is filled with beautiful colours like blue, yellow, orange, red, purple etc. I also miss the view during winter when fog around hills made it look like I was surrounded by clouds.
That sounds spectacular, even I’m getting a feeling of nostalgia from your comment! Vinod also studied in a hilly region and has often tried describing those surreal cloudy days to me.
Sweet Annika’s grown up so much👍🏻At the end of this video,we are all in tears as dada & dadi are going home & Annika said she wants to go Jaipur😂
I think she wouldve actually jumped into the train if we had let her 🫣
the goodbye was heartbreaking but thats life. Tomorrow is another day and Annika will be fine !!!!
It’s never too long before we see Annika’s dadi and dadu again 😊
So emotional she was when the grandparents left her. Her cooking skills are very good. God bless her ❤
Very bright and charming Annika and so precious 🥰 Happy to know physically therapy took care of your problems. I am true believer of physical therapy. I go through same leaving my grand daughter, it breaks my heart every. time I leave her behind .❤️🥰
After a long time watching your videos. I was pleasantly surprised seeing her talk. ❤❤
❤Thank u for sharing. 😢😢😢Sad when she has to say good bye.
After long time we are seeing Anika Sweety !
Never stop Physiotherapy for your back pain. God bless you all 🇮🇳🙏❤
That goodbye……..heartbreaking 😢
Annika is painting so patiently 🌸🧿
Hello Johanna, really happy to watch your vlog. Annika has grown so tall. It’s lovely to see and hear her speaking so clearly in three different languages and shifting so effortlessly from one language to another. The views from your home is so gorgeous. I can completely understand why you enjoy the rainy season in Kerala. Am also very happy to know that you are feeling better. Nothing is more important than focussing on one’s health. Wishing you, Annika and Vinod a very happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous Diwali!! ❤🙏🏼
It's great to see Annika after a long time. ❤ So nice to see how she comfortably communicates in three languages. It is always beneficial to know many languages.
May God bless you all. 🙏
I also cried seeing her crying ❤❤❤❤, Anika is very sweet ❤❤❤❤❤
We know you need time for yourselves totally understandable...It's great indeed to see you all and a blessing all are doing well.
The end my 💔 with Annika .
Take care of yourselves ☺️
Awwww!!!I cried with you in the end Annika!!!

Beautiful little annika. She has grown up and is very clever and cuter. ❤❤
Thank you so much for a lovely, well presented video. Annika grows more beautiful each time I see her. She has amazing grandparents not forgetting her wonderful parents. I love watching your videos, they bring me so much joy. I am very elderly, so with time I have come to appreciate the beauty of family life. Please take care Johanna. You work super hard and need plenty of rest. Much love and peace to you all.❤️
So tauching... sweet and beautiful vlog.. God bless your family... 🙏
Good are hard for Annika,her special playmates have gone home,
Sorry I meant goodbyes
Indians speak minimum 3 languages by default. It’s a big deal for westerners.
And we are exposed to multiple cultures and diversity in life. So Indians are very talented and intelligent
So touching in the end. But that's life
.
Oh annikha you and your family took my heart ❤❤stay blessed💚
Even we missed ur home so much
Annika is so cute and adorable. And so smart❤
So sad to see Annika crying ❤❤❤. Lovely baby girl
So much fun watching Annika grow up!
Happy Diwali Johanna, Vinod and Anika . Good to see you all . Been while . Hope you feel better now Johanna?
Well the back pain isn’t as bad anymore, but some days are worse than others. I should do quite a lot of physical therapy exercises daily, but sometimes I dont have the time or energy, especially after I recently had covid again. But overall, I’m in a much better mood and fitness daily, and there are more good days than bad 😊🙏
Happy Diwali to you too and wish you lots of light for this year! ✨
Annika really love eating rice...🤩🤩
Happy Diwali,i pray for your health,Johanna.😘
She will grow into an amazing, interesting & talented girl in her peer group. With so much exposure to various culture & tradition.
Sooo adorable Annika ❤… we missed you big time 🤗
Annika don’t scare of anything so cute lots of love ❤
Heart touching last part of vlog 💞
How sweet family
Annika already speak 3 languages . Does she speaks any Malayalam
Hey Anika and the family ❤
I have been watching your vlogs since your birth...
It's great to see you growing up fast.
It's so soothing watching your vlogs.....
Fantastic work and content..
Happy Diwali and happy new year 🎊❤
"This is my roti"....
Your little angel reminds of my baby girl
Anika is very cute, intelligent child........
She is so sweet❤🎉 God bless her.
Climate has changed. There used to be heavy rains during June and July. But now may be due to global warming, we don’t have much rain during these months.
It was like I was there.. i literally cried at the end..
God Bless you and family.
Your videos reminds me of my daughter when she was kid.. The best time of all.
HELLO 🙏🏻 EVERYONE’S …….HAPPY DHANTERS TO ENTIRE GRANDPARENTS AND JOHANNA FAMILY …….HAPPY DIWALI 🪔🙏🏻🤲🏼🤲🏼💐❤️🤗 GOD BLESS ANNIKA 💝🌸
Cutie Annika❤❤
Such a happy child 😘...god bless her♥️
Try Ayurveda treatment for general body vitality, aches , pain, digestion etc...Kerala has some excellent Ayurvedic treatment centers
Lovely to see Annika getting to live ina peaceful pollution free place but apart from the animalkingdom visitors we rarely get to see any soul in the vicinity.a bit scary
For me huge crowds in big cities are the scarier thing 😅 I guess that’s one of the biggest differences between Finnish and indian cultures!
@@JohannaNorth you have blended perfectly well with our culture or rather you have tried hard.may be for your family life.have seen lndian kids settled out side finding hard to cope with the culture and facilities when they comeback
You guys should write a parenting book.... I definitely gonna buy that❤
Little sweetheart Annika♥️
Good parenting
Annika - the lil Krishna...lot of love for her !!
Sushmita: speakjnv 3 languages 3 different accents is phenomenal and so important growing up Kudos to the parents 👏 ❤ ❤
