Saturday
Violet on Skype with Grammy
A group of kids dancing...view from our apt.
Violet wanted to get out there and dance too!
lunchtime!
Also on Saturday we went to a local outdoor market where you can get fresh fruit, vegetables & meat. The prices are cheaper than the grocery store and it’s a good opportunity to practice our Russian with the vendors.
дыня - meaning melon... almost like a cantaloupe except longer and white on the inside
fish anyone?
Girl fun
The other night Elisabeth & I had some fun together. We went to a new store that opened up nearby, it is kinda of like a very mini Wal-mart. They have clothes and shoes for the whole family, kitchen and bathroom supplies and other little knick knacky things. And the stuff there was actually decently priced for this area, Moscow is really expensive pretty much everywhere, so it was fun to find this store. It may not be the best of quality, but it works, for a while at least.
Since we were close to our apartment, she came over and we had some tea and cookies, watched a chick flick, and chatted for a bit. It was a fun night! Elisabeth is a sweet friend and I’m glad she is here with us.

Verbs…
Hi Friends!
We thought we would give you a quick glimpse into one aspect of our language study. The picture before you is a chart of the verb жить which means “to live”. Verbs in Russian are conjugated which means that the ending will change based on tense,number,person,mood & aspect. It sounds complicated, but once you remember what category the verb falls into you will (hopefully) get it right every time. This means a lot of memorizing for us, we ask for your thoughts as we study the language!
Thanks for keeping up with us.
However, we have only studied present & some future tense verbs so we have a lot to learn!
