Catching Up






So, it has been quite a while since my last post. Much has transpired, so here are a few tidbits.

Jonathan and I continue to do our Russian lessons on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 till noon while our Nanny, Oksana watches the children. The children love Oksana and they continue to learn Russian from her, which is a huge help. Nahum and Isaac are keeping up with their schooling each day and are doing very well. Nahum is a whiz at Math and Isaac loves learning all the sounds that the letters make. Jesse and Jonas are talking much more these days and trying so hard to be like their big brothers. Miriam has begun to walk and climb on virtually everything, which is a little bit scary. Every week, we have a Russian couple or family over for a meal. It has been so wonderful to get to know some of the people better this way, and the children absolutely love having people over. They boys have become champion sledders as they tend to go sledding about every other day.

It is very busy here and time goes by very quickly. We look so forward to the weekend when we can all be together and rest at home.
