Bagels and more

Here are a few photos of our fun day yesterday:

Tonight we have friends from our old church in Moscow coming. They'll go to the youth club--which is tonight, because of the holidays--then spend the night and go to church with us tomorrow. (Church was also postponed, because our meeting place was closed on Sunday.) The Egor, Olga and Bogdan family will be staying with us; anyone else will sleep over at the Korneichuks.

One more thing: Raia is within inches of crawling! If I put her down on the kitchen floor, she makes it to the other side of the room in no time. She just gets up on her hands and knees, then pushes herself backwards. Her hands don't understand their part yet, so on other less slippery surfaces, she mostly just rocks back and forth and moves slowly.

We knew Raia would be crawling soon, but didn't know it would be this soon!

Enjoy your guests. Do you have three families staying with you?

Much love to each of you....

WOW!!! That is a GINORMOUS thing of cream cheese; that should last you all awhile.

Kakao is the Greek word for hot chocolate/cocoa too.

Your bagels look yummy!

So exciting that Raia is starting to crawl!! Awwww so sweet, the grow up too fast!

Happy New Year 2006!

*lol* That pic of the enormous tub of cream cheese and Will fully enjoying it is just hilarious! It's amazing how the simpliest things in life are the most pleasurable! ENJOY your cream cheese! :-D

Hooray for Raia's 'almost' milestone! I can't believe how quickly she is growing. Seems like just yesterday you were announcing her birth!

No, Mom. One family. I worded it that way, because I figured there was a better chance of you recognizing them by first names than last.
