The Days are Just Packed

It's true what they say, the days are long, the years are short.  

Nearly a month has gone by since my last blog entry and I find myself in the same predicament I always seem to be in:  what do I write about?

On one hand, it seems like nothing has changed, nothing has happened.

On the other, each day is so full of the delightful little things that make one special moment overlap with the next until you look back and realize one week has flown by.

Like Anna mimicking our stinters' slang, "tasty taste, Mommy, hashtag super delicious!"  

Like Peter waving "hi" and exploding into giggles when we wave "hi" back.

Like Anna doing a little dance which makes us think, "well at least I now know what I look like when I dance."

We're so thankful for the little things.  Day to day, week to week, month to month, our lives are just packed with everything and nothing, all at the same time.

Please excuse me.” Still another said, “I just got married, so I can’t come.” The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.”...

Home Stay

It's been a while since we've had the opportunity to check in...  While in the midst of several conferences both on our old and new sides of the ocean, as well as settling in with a Russian family with whom we'll be living for the next 6 weeks, we've been quite busy!  We've enjoyed getting acquainted with our new family:  Slava (the Dad,) Sveta (the Mom,) and their kids Yan (11 year old boy,) and Dasha (9 year old girl.)  But we've certainly missed access to more consistent connection with many of you back home.  We are a bit unreachable at present, with no internet access at home, but hope to check in weekly with short updates about our adventures and misadventures settling in. First, I thought you might like to see our new place.  It's a two room apartment in the north-east corner of the city, about a 15 minute walk to the closest metro.  It's located in a very nice area, with a park and beautiful Orthodox church just across the street, and lots of tre...
