Update

Hi everyone--
Pa, Sam and I are in Israel right now. We are actually in Jordan, but today we cross back over and then head out to Jerusalem. It has been an amazing trip so far, and we have lots of pictures. If we have free wi-fi again tonight I will try to post some. If not, then those will come in a week and a half when we return to Moscow.
We are getting tan, seeing ancient sites and having a blast. So far we have had a new hotel every night, but for the next five nights we will be in the same one. I finally got a good nights sleep last night and hopefully that will continue.
Well, I have to go save good seats on the bus.
Till later.

Doggie Emergency

Sam called me today as he was walking the dog and told me that her paw was bleeding. Now, you have to understand, our dog has so many problems, that I figured it was a little cut and that she'd be alright. Well, he came upstairs and there was blood everywhere. Sam and i cleaned her paw up and it turns out her nail was falling off. She's fine and laying down now, but that's our bit of news for the day!

The day finally came...

I got my stuff ready...

Before: (very bad self portrait, i know)
After:
The braces are off! Yay! Now I have retainers that I have to wear 24/7 for 2 months and then only at night. But, they hurt, so I have decided I like braces better for now. I am sure that will change.

-on a different note, we are getting ready for our Israel trip on Saturday. All packed, and ready to go. We have been touring Russia these past two weeks, its been fun. Thats all for now!-

St. Petersburg Pictures

Photobucket Album

Click on the picture to view the album. It has over 100 pictures (from Catherine and Peter the 1st's palaces, the city and the Hermitage) and this was the easiest way to have people view them. Enjoy!

We are back.

We are back from St. Petersburg and have lots of pictures to share. Hopefully within the next couple days I will have most of them uploaded.
Thanks for your patience!
