Coming to Our Apartment

If you were here right now I would invite you over for some tea and sweets. It is cold and rainy here today, so a nice cup of Russian tea and banana muffins to share with you would make the day not as dreary. We are blessed to live in a gated area. The apartment building we live in is surrounded by a secured gate. Let me show you how we enter our building every day...and if you want to come visit you will already know the way!

Before you come to the playground you would have to push a button at the outer gate. It would make our little "phone" ring at our apartment. We would pick up, say hello and push a button that would open the gate for you. Then you would walk past this playground...

As you walk up to our building (one of many in the area), you would push our apartment number on this pad and it would again call us at our apartment. We would push the button on our end and of course let you in! For us to get in we have a little green key that we just hold up to the brown square under the speaker in the picture. This automatically opens the door for us so we don't have to call our own apartment.

Then you would enter and walk through the entry way...

...around the corner, up a few stairs...

to the elevator...we are on the 4th floor

Once you get to the fourth floor, you see two doors. You go through our door (each door leads to 2 apartments)...

...and come to where our apartment is. Our door is the first one...(we have not been able to meet our neighbors yet)

You open the first door and again come to another door. This door will lead you to...

Thanks for visiting!

Hope you enjoyed seeing how we get into our apartment. Come visit...or at least pretend. We will hopefully post a video of a personal tour soon!

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and Gwen
