well, 2009 came and went and not we are on the second month of 2010... We celebrated New Years with a bunch of friends and all of the kids... Karaoke, fireworks, good food, music - got home around 7 in the morning.... :) fun :)
Also expriences a Russian invasion for two weeks over Christmas and New Years break... My dear friend with her husband and 5 year old daughter visited from Moscow... It was a weird experience, mostly good... Too bad Dunya got a little sick and we did not get to do a lot.. But still they saw Chicago, Milwaukee, ate, shopped and enjoyed themselves.. I think deer in our backyars made the biggest impression on them - Moscow does not have nature... Growing up in Moscow, my favorite flower used to be a 12 story building and the favorite scent would be gasoline... I am joking of course, but my mom used to work at a gas station in Moscow, the scent of gasoline would follow her home.. We live on a 6th floor of 17th story apartment building with windows overlooking 8 lane street... Such a difference from suburban Milwaukee :)
Anyway...
Kids are doing fine... Simon is really growing up, he knows what he wants and tries to get it... but that's a part of being a boy I guess :)
Emily is turning into a beautiful girl, very smart... She likes to write poetry and fiction... Some of her works are not so bad ... I will publish some of them here later...
She also started wearing a bra which cause a huge commotion in the house. Simon wanted to wear a bra as well and he got really upset when he was not allowed to do so... Anybody has ideas on how to explain bras to a 4 year old boy? I am sure he will learn sooner or later...
things my kids say:
Simon in the morning -
"Emily, come here and be tired with me"
