We are back

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We are back from our little trip to Vancouver, BC Canada. It’s about 3 hours
of driving from Seattle and we’re still wondering why did not visit this place
such long time (if I remember right, our last visit was 9 years ago) The picture
above was taken from our suit on 15th level in The Sutton Place Hotel and
it’s almost all our pictures we’ve took LOL … We’re definitely in no “photograp-
hing” mood, especially Kristin 😉 But definitely going to be back to Vancouver
in a month or so… so many Awesome activities going to be here. Can’t wait
for the Cherry Blossom Festival and visit their Fabulous Botanical Garden late
in a spring.

… Is my baby have grew up already?!!! This Saturday we’ve had a
big party at our home and Kristin (my 7 years old) with her friends
had a Blast at playground near us, watched TV, enjoined craft and
game activities and we (parents) always saw them here and here…
But after I realized that did not see kids enough long time, I just
wanted to check if all is Ok and found this note on Kristin’s door 😉

Happy Monday to everyone!!

What a day

I love days like yesterday…

cfu209.l In a morning I’ve worked on new pattern and BTW, I’ve got 2 more edited patterns from tech editor,
so still tuned ;o)
Visited Paris Miki Optical (my fav Japanese company for long,
their lenses are super  thin and lightweight) to pick up my new glasses.

michaels Kristin and I spent great time at Michaels and got lots fun to choice a new craft project for her. This time Kristin decided try hands on Paint by numbers. Oh my, looks as she’s definitely going to be busy for a bit LOL
And a cherry on the top is concert of our Russian famous Мумий Тролль band we were SO excited to visit yesterday! They are having a tour over US now and if you are fun of a good rock, make sure to check their Official Site to hear some hits and check what’s on their schedule. lagutenko2

Ok, now we are off to pick up Kristin. She had a sleep over with her
best friend Karina and then we have enough long and fun list to do
on during these weekends. Fun Fun!!

A Wonderful weekends to anyone!!!

A snow fun…

Do you like snow days just as much as me, especially if you are leaving in
Seattle LOL Well, even if there the schools and many offices closed… and
it’s not such comfortable driving as during our lovely raining days ;o) …but
it’s so Awesome to enjoy snow and get some exciting snow fun time with
the family!! I’ve spotted couple quick pictures with Kristin … yeh, definitely
not the best quality ones, but for some memories…

This year we had Amazing Halloween party in our friends home.
Kristin was a Gabriella, Igor decided on Rasta boy and I’m, who
always dreamed to have a red hair… guess where am I? 😉
Hope your got lots Fun and enjoined the Halloween, as we do!!

Happy Monday!

We are back

… HAPPY, full of energy and lots of wonderful memories!!! It was our first trip
to Miami, FL and we’ve had a BLAST and so enjoined every second!! The first
several days we had lot of swimming (no doubts! ;). Also visited such pretty
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens  and  Alligators alley next day.  I hold baby
alligator in my hand and oh my, they are enough heavy even if about 23-25″
long  … but absolutely pleasant to touch! LOL

… And on the 3rd and 4th days Florida showed us local thunderstorms… Well,
we knew that it’s not the best time of year to visit Miami, but the cause of this
unplanned vacation was Igor’s business trip for just a couple hours meeting,
even if flight takes about 7 hours. So, we decided turn it into a family vacation
we all wanted so hard and I believe any weather and any other places would
work just perfect for us 🙂

But sure, we definitely got a luck to have just two rainy days and between
rains we have visited absolutely beautiful Flamingo gardens and some other
Amazing places (still need to upload pics). The only sad thing is that we have
missed Para-sailing and Jet-skiing  because of a windy weather… uhh! But
I hope we will try it in some of day!

A visit…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         This last weekend we were visited by Igor’s
cousin from Moscow. We’d a BLAST!!!! Victor
was soo impressed by a culture, nature with
all outdoor activities and lots of fun… and our
weather (no kidding!! Seattle is still spoiling
us an absolutely AMAZING  warm and sunny
days) and last, but not least.. by great roads,
which is not  typical for some countries 😉

We’ve visited couple beautiful cities near us, Alki beach, Snoqualmie Falls and
some others local parks.

But time flew very fast and we did not notice how these 3 days gone… but not
our memories, sweet moments and LOTS of FUN we got!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         And a funny story is that… when cousin arrived, he asked
my DH to visit a store to buy a dozen of roses, a bottle of
Champagne  and a cake (… a “kind” of Russian tradition to
welcome). Well, I am not a big fun of Champagne but look
what he decided to buy!! CRAZY person!!! LOL

… Now I fill I have to change my mind about Champagne 🙂
