Long Time No Write

     I know it has been a while since I have been writing. Lots of new places and things to write about. Some little updates and I will go into them more with a post for each. My job has ended. Nastya is talking in English more and more, however she mostly communicates with Russian. We finally got our new puppy named Spot. Potty training is in the very near future and Nastya is talking in full sentences. Please and thank you on demand is awesome! Sewing projects in the works, and a new baby to the extended family. A few pictures to peak the interest.

Everything Happens For a Reason

     I recently got a job that I have been in need of and the perfect opportunity came up. I will be watching 2 boys and will be able to travel home and be fine. One is the same age as Nastya and the other is 4 months. I am a little nervous due to me not being in the comfort of my own home and that I don't know these boys. I am more strict than most parents and so he might not like me for a little bit. The best part is I get to still have Nastya with me and not change a thing in how I raise her or do all for her. In other words I may not have as many posts as I would like to have.

     In other news Nastya fell bad last week and she has this monstrous bruise on her poor face. They say it always looks worse before it looks better. We also went to the World famous San Diego Zoo and she loved it, she couldn't get enough of the Elephants and the Leopard and the Hippos.

Can you tell she loves her "leopup" ok it is a cheetah but she thinks its a leopard so that is what she calls it.

ok maybe its not as bad as i say but it shure does look nasty.
