I'm just that cool.

Who does she think she is? Trying to budge into MY camera time? Huh, huh? How could she possibly think she's cooler than me! No one, and I mean no one, is cooler than I am. No way.
Well, I'll be! She doesn't even look happy! If anyone is going to be in any picture with me, they HAVE to look happy. Therfore, I'm kicking her out.

Now it's just me. You can enjoy my coolness. I am just that cool. Sportin' the shades is what I do best.
I'm even that cool to wish Sam a happy Birthday tomorrow. I'm so awesome--I added the party hat too!

In case you don't hear from me then, (which you probably won't because I am so cool that I have cool things to do) I'm that cool to wish you a Happy Valentines day.
Ta ta!

It's a little messy right now.

I'm changing some things, so excuse my mess. There'll be a new header, etc. sometime in the coming week.

Fun with Gram

On another very cold day we went to Red Square with Gram, walked through the mall to get to the other end and then drove home. Brr...











Some more pictures-

Papa, Babushka, Josh and I went to Tzaritsino. Bad idea: we got lost, got stpoped by the police, got fined, found out larger dogs weren't allowed in the park (although we saw tons of them) and then it was freezing. An hour trip down there for a 15 min walk. Talk about fun!...not







Gram came to visit!!! She got here on the 2nd and we had a blast!

Fun with Babushka and Dedushka

Jess learned how to play chess:


We wlked to Red Square on a very, very cold day:
Most of the grandkids:
