We’ve been having some really beautiful sunrises this last week. Along with very cold weather. As you can see, it was about -31 C (-24 F). One day it was almost -40 C. There’s nothing quite like the sensation of that kind of cold. But soon it will be getting even colder. It is after all only the beginning of November.
We have met some our neighbors who live near us and it’s been nice getting to know them. They have been very helpful in telling us where we can find certain stores and talking about different things about the way of life here in Siberia. We met when I took Keith to the doctor for his baby check-up at the nearby clinic. They heard me and a friend speaking English and we found out that we lived in the same building. After that we have gotten together a few times, speaking English and Russian. They want to learn more English and I want to learn more Russian.
They loved Micah’s guitar playing and singing! We are looking forward to getting to know them better.

I’ve been carrying Keith out to the playground in the Baby Bjorn when I take the girls out. It’s easier to help the girls while having him in the carrier. But lately it has been getting to my back and shoulders. At his last doctors appointment, he weighed in at 8.3 kilos (18 pounds)!
Broken glass is on the ground everywhere, Thankfully right now, we have snow covering it up.
Pipes, pipes everywhere
-21 C (-5 F)
The temperature is dropping lower and lower.
We are just about all set on our winter coats and boots. With temperatures getting this low lately we really need to layer our clothes and bundle up well, especially with taking the kids outside. The girls really do enjoy being outside as much as they can, even in the cold.
