A view from our balcony
During the day and often in the evening we love to spend time out on our balcony. The weather is perfect here right now. The last few days, minus today, have been sunny and warm (70s). The evenings have been cool with a nice breeze. Today it rained, but it cooled things off even more. Tonight is a perfect night to sit out on the balcony, watch the neighbors, watch the kids on the playground below, and of course enjoy a cup of coffee...or tea. We wish you were here to join us. Of course, what also makes this night great is that we have the internet back! YES! We hope you are as excited as we are! Hopefully more and more pictures and posts will appear! I don't have the apartment all decorated yet, but a few rooms are getting there, so I thought I would share some pictures with you. We ordered a couch that will come in the next 2 weeks. Philip also gets to go to Moscow on Tuesday with Brian to pick up some people from the airport. Do you know what this means? IKEA trip! We hope to get some rugs, lamps, and curtains! Can't wait!
Adalynn and Gwen's room
Gwen is currently sleeping in our room until she gets her sleeping all figured out...then she can move in with her sister! Can't wait for that either!
I made this flag banner for the girls' room. I love it and it looks so fun and cute in their room!
This is our room. Of course the curtains are very Russian...maybe I'll change them eventually.
Today was the first day of school for the kids here in Russia. It is a holiday called, "The Day of Knowledge." The children dress up and the schools have an opening ceremony outside. It rained this morning, so I am not sure what they did. Our language "school" is going to begin here in a few weeks. We are searching for a language tutor and plan to meet 3-4 times a week. Wheww...bring on the homework!
Blessings,
Philip, Kara, Adalynn, and Gwen
Love it! The rooms are nice and big AND the floors are gorgeous!
