Well, I just went through a few pictures looking at some stuff that we've taken pictures of recently, but that I haven't been able to post. So, here are 4 pictures of some random stuff from life in the past month that I thought I'd share with you. Sorry that the descriptions don't go with the picture. I give up trying to figure out how to do that!! If anyone knows how and wants to share, please do!!
--The first is a pic of the Fruit and Vegetable stand that is about half a block from our apartment. Very nice to have close, especially if we need to make Bortsch, a traditional Ukrainian soup, and need some ingredients. They also have some milk products and and a few other random stuff, and of course, alcoholic beverages of choice! :) Oh, notice the big slab of ice around it. That is our life, except when the patches of ice are covered by snow/slush and you can't see them until you are sliding!
-- The next (so sweet) picture is of Canaan and Daddy reading a Bible story before bed time.
-- The third pic is of an outing we had soon after we bought our sled. It is a lot of fun, but sometimes hard to navigate with both kids on it, b/c Canaan has to hold Max up, which he can't do well. Max is just too little to sit up by himself, especially decked in his big snowsuit. So, we have to pull it carefully so Max doesn't take a spill, face-first, into the snow. The night this was taken, I was excited about our sled and the new snow we had and wanted to take the kids out to enjoy the sled and snow. We went to a playground near the center. We drove there, thankfully, and then 'sledded' out to the playground. It was SO COLD! We were frozen really fast and couldn't stay long. Just long enough for Canaan to go down the slide twice - flying out and landing on his bottom about a yard away from where the slide ended. I think it was super-slick inside the slide and he flew!! Crazy! Of course, we got a few pictures too and then ran back to the car to get home and get warm. We found out later that night that a cold front had come in!!
-- The last picture is of Canaan writing his name (phonetically) in Russian. We are working on writing his letters in English and his name in Russian. He knows all his alphabet in English really well and can even tell me what letter most words begin with (that are straight-forward and typical). He can write some letters too. He even tried to write a few I hadn't taught him all by himself. The L was upside-down, but I was impressed he could think of what it looked like and attempt to write it on his own. I also want him to be able to know and write his Russian alphabet. WE are working on this, but it gets tricky when some letters look the same, but are different letter. Such as in his name, the Russian "N" is exactly the same as the English "H." Just a tad confusing. I just have to clarify that he needs the Russian letter, which looks like a different English letter.
