VDNX
Hi Friends,
Today I went with my language helper to visit a popular exhibition center at metro station vdnha. We had a good time together talking about what we saw and about Russian culture. Here are some shots of the day.
Thanks for checking out our blog!

Another birthday
This past weekend our friend Julie, had a birthday. We had a fun evening with a bunch of friends celebrating her special day. She and Elisabeth made yummy spaghetti for everyone then we played some games together. I would link Julie’s blog on here, but she doesn’t have one… yet. Right Julie? 🙂 And thanks to Vanya for the pics.
dinner time!

wow, look at all those candles!
Potty Training
So… we’ve kind of started to potty train Violet. Usually every evening after supper she “goes” in her diaper, which she has never been one to go and hide. And so the other night I had her sit on her potty and she likes to read the magazines we have, as you can see. And she eventually went! I was so happy I almost took a picture, but that I came to my senses and decided to forgo that one. I don’t think she quite gets it yet, but that’s what I’ve been working on with her lately. She does like to sit on her potty most of the time, but nothing happens. And she sometimes tells us, poo poo or pee pee, but that’s usually after the fact. Oh and by the way, the potty was a present from a friend here for her birthday.
