An update

What a busy time!!! I haven't updated this blog for so long. Our Christmas in Russia is only on the 7th of Januray. So it was fun to have a vacation from the 25th of December to the 7th of January. Both of our kids got a really bad virus, so we were kind of struggling with it at the same time. ( That is why I didn't make it to the computer) With so many presents though:)... we all loved it.
On the 25 th of December we got our first snow. Timosha was so happy!!! Helping dad outside...
Timosha is in love with his Lego's...
Nastya is growing so fast. She loves playing with Timosha and she misses him when he is at the kindergarten.
I think she likes books more then toys. She can sit forever looking at pictures and listening. I'm so happy about it, because Timosha still doesn't like books that much:)

Almost 4.5 years...

I was just looking at our pictures today and remembered all those good times before we got married. It's amazing how fast time flies. We already have two kids and no time for ourselves:). I love it though!!!

for my memories

I enjoyed their little dance.. it almost made me cry. Nastya loved dancing with her daddy. Daniel is the best dad!!!!

Timosha's little trampoline...We got it last week for him thinking it would help Timosha with all this energy he's got. Nastya likes it as well.:)


Our first time with the spoon. (blackberry)
Nastya's first time on the high chair...

Daughter and daddy dance

That was soo cute, I'm so blessed with my husband and kids..

Всем большой привет!!!

Going shopping for Halloween costumes...

Daniel and Timosha spend some time carving pumpkins the other day. It was actually the first time for Timosha. Nastya was pretty interested as well.
Timosha and Lera had a party at the school. They came to our house after the kindergarten and wanted to have some more fun in their outfits.
They even danced for us.

Nastya wanted to be a part of the party too. She was a bunny. She ate a peach right before, so her shirt is kind of messy.:)




That's the cake my friend brought for the party. Pretty interesting...:)

Last warm days...

Those pictures of my kids are probably my favorite. I'm happy when they are together.
Lately we've been trying to be outside as much as we can. I'm glad we did, cause tomorrow is going to be a first really cold day in the fall. Timosha loves playing with his dogs. Other people freak out when they see Dakota, but Timosha just gets into her house and sits there chilling. Nobody can believe this.
Our neighbour's dog keeps getting pregnant every six monthes.:) We never know the father, but puppies turn out really cute. Timosha loves visiting them.

Daniel was trying to get our backyard ready for the winter.

So he planted some raspberries before winter is here.

More pictures of the house

There's still a lot of work to do in our backyard and our house, but I really hope we will be done soon.

Our Banya (sauna)...

Daniel's dream came true. We have banya now. This is something that Russians can't live without. Even if they don't like the steam room there-it's still a good traditional time to spend with you friends, have some mint tea with honey and just realx... If you know Daniel, I'm sure he will give you so many details on it....:)

ok, here's a steam room...
We can't wait to start using it...

Nastya is growing up...

Nastya is almost 5 monthes old, but Daniel is already trying to make her walk:)
I thought she was so cute, so I put that many pictures... I think she loved it so much. I just have a feeling she will start walking very early...
