Sasha is 11 month old!

Here is our Sahsa boy! At this time he is a proud owner of five teeth and an expert crawler:) He pulls himself up and stands on his own. His hair is so light and his eyes are blue:)

And a traditional picture with the girls:)

Sasha is helping to do dishes:)

Girls got their haircuts:)

Last Wednesday we went to cut the girls hair at my friend Stephanie's salon. The girls had so much fun and Stephanie is so good with kids:)

Yesterday

I know, I know - more snow:) But it was really bad one!!! I went to church with kids to have some fun with other mom's and I was surprise to find one there, because I thought I will be all alone:) The wind was blowing, the snow was falling and the sun was like a small tiny circle in the grey sky... The snow was everywhere even blowing into the car! Here I am driving on the road do you see anybody? I do not think so:)
Oh I just wanted to mention that on February,28 I became a member in our church here in Alaska and since then I am doing a TOT time for moms with little ones once a week in the church gym.
I know that you are all coming by our blog and just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone of you and have a wonderful day!

A little brake from snowfall***

It is always fun to see the girls playing outside:) Everything is covered with snow and their rosy cheeks are so preatty:)

***SNOW***

We stayed home for several days now because it is snowing here!!! This winter we didn't have much snow and everything started to melt... I guess it is time for snow now when we enter into the spring month:)
Some good news in our house: GJ finally got his visa invintation that we were waiting for more than year and a half!!! Praise GOD!!! We are making some plans to go back to Provideniya in April! I am so excited - I will see my mom and she will see Sasha for the forst time! Emma is telling everyone that she is going to Russia soon:)

Women's retreat

On the weekend I went to the women's retreat with our church at "Solid Rock" Bible camp. The theme was "Better than a band-aid" and let me tell you I had a wonderful time! We had a great speaker and small groups, the food was so good, the worship was amazing and everything was just perfect! I got chance to be with other women from my church and got inspired for the whole year!

This is the view from the chapel to the lake
You can see lodge behind the trees

On my free time I made some cards with my friends and other ladies did their favorite crafts as well.

Fire station visit

Last week we went to visit our local Fire Station with other moms and their kids:) It was so much fun!!!

Looking at the fire trucks
Stacia kept close to me as she was not so sure about the fire trucks

Sasha was a good boy and he was quiet too

Looking good by the truck

At the end of the tour all kids got helmets and some stickers and coloring books.
