Happy 40th Birthday, Mom!

Today's Mom's birthday! I have some pictures to post later, but for now, here's how her day has gone:

5:45 am: wake up
6:30 am: surprise!! Some of Mom's friends came over with breakfast. Boy, was Mom surprised!
7:45 Friends leave, clean up
8:15-12 pm school
12 Josh and Jess and their teacher give Mom some awesome gifts and we have a nice lunch.
1 pm: Papa comes home from a business trip!

I'm not really sure what happened between 1 and now (7), but those were the Birthday highlights of the day!
Happy Birthday, Mom!

So....

Post a comment and let me know!

Also, some of the fall pictures are on the sidebar!
Happy Monday!

Its November already!

Hi all!
Can you believe it is November? I can't! Just yesterday it was September and we were starting school! How life can fly by so very quickly!
Lets see, the news of the week:
-We had Monday and Tuesday off (all of Russia did) as it was a holiday here.
-Pa leaves tomorrow for the US
-Josh, Mom and I spent 2 hours this morning at the medical center getting xrays done. Turns out Josh has pnuemonia and I have something in my chest (its all tight). So, Joshie is on antibiotics and I have 2 puffers. Not fun, not fun at all.
-2 more days and the week ends, I love short weeks!

That's all thats new! We got our picture back from the photographer, and they will be up soon.
Have a good Wednesday!
