May 23rd
We chilled out today and slept in then to visit junior. He is still a bit grumpy from changing rooms (imagine the grumpiness changing countries) and he was not in a mood to paly outside since he can not crawl outside. After 45 minutes of fighting a bucking child, we headed inside.
Once the clothes were stripped off and he was on the carpet, he was much happier. Although today the balloon totally freaked him out. He would bat at it to make it fly, them start crying a river, then bat it again. Trying to figure out what's going on in his little head is like trying to figure out what our cats are thinking.
After our visit we headed back for a quick lunch by our apartmet and then a walk to the foodstore to get......bread, soda, apple juice and toilet bowl cleaner. I know, you envy my exciting life right about now.
Here's some pictures of the NEW side of the city from
our trip there last week.

The photos of the "new city" look quite beautiful...no doubt the old areas look something less. Years of communist/russian domination leave a lot to be desired. Thursday wse are off on our next trip, see you both on our/your return...luv, Dad & Liz

ps. i apologize for my typos. i am a horrible typer.
Hi, Jen and Rob. You don't know me but I am a friend of Gena's and have been keeping up with your progress. I am delayed in getting this info to you, but saw where you were looking for updates on some shows. On Survivor, the final four came down to Aras, Terry, Cirie and Danielle. Of course, Danielle and Cirie pretty much rode on others coattails to get there, but Cirie really did start working and trying hard toward the end. The next vote came down to a tie between Cirie and Danielle, which they broke with a fire challenge, and while Cirie gave Danielle a run for her money (so to speak), Danielle won in the end. Terry then won an award challenge which consisted of a meal and his own cot and pillow. Then came the final immunity challenge, which my husband and I feel was really set for Danielle to win. It consisted of ballancing on floating "lilly pad" type deals on the water and every 15 minutes they would move to a smaller one. Danielle won, but gave Aras a "nod" just before he gave up and bailed. Terry, because of his size, was the first to drop. Terry, at least in my opinion, definitely outplayed everyone else and deserved to win, but his hidden imunnity idol was no longer any good and in the end Danielle decided she stood the best chance against Aras. Of course, she really didn't stand much of a chance and ended up losing to Aras. Even Shane said in the end that Terry was the one that really deserved to win.
Hmmmm, Lost. I don't know really where to start with that one. So much has happened. I guess the main thing is that Michael, who disappeared to find Walt, came back. But turns out the "others" had gotten to him by making him promises to give him and Walt their freedom. The "others" have an entire village on another part of the island. They have Walt. Michael came back and tricked Ana Lucia into giving him the gun, making her think he was going to kill the "other" guy they were holding. Instead, he shot and killed her and and Libby, who walked in on him. Then he freed the "other" guy and shot himself in the arm. The rest of the gang think that the "other" guy did it and Michael was just injured in the struggle. Now Michael is trying to get Kate, Hurley, Jack and Sawyer to go back with him to get the others, in a trap to take them to the others. Sayid wants to go with them, but he is not one that Michael is supposed to bring back. Sayid, of course, is beginning to suspect that Michael has been compromised. Just before the end of the last show, they were burying Ana Lucia and Libby and the sun was setting and Sun looks up and sees a sail boat sailing toward them on the ocean. the season Finalle is tomorrow. I will try to give you a decent update afterwards.
