The Russians: December 2013
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 30, 2013. It seems like since October, we've had sickness cycling through our house. Ugh. Thankfully, none of it's been serious, but I always feel on high alert with Sophie. She's got another case of pneumonia now, very mild but with a nasty cough that's interfering with her sleep. We've been up with her a lot, poor baby. But I'm enjoying the late night cuddles, after we've wiped tears, suctioned her nose, and put on fresh, unsnotty tubes! When she does fall asleep, she is OUT! I'd like ...

The Russians: October 2013
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 27, 2013. Well, despite our best laid plans, the Lord orders our steps. So we are staying put for now, as plans to head up north didn't work out due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances. So we'll get to enjoy all the Fall and holiday things down here in the south :) Especially being near the cousins! Wyn (19 months old, Emma (19 months old) and Sophie (22 months old). These three are so cute together. They can all walk now and hoard toys and say important things like, "NO! She ha...

The Russians: Christmas Day
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-day.html
Thursday, December 26, 2013. Apparently I can't think of clever titles to my blog posts. I'd like to say it's just tonight, but it seems to be a permanent problem. I console myself with the fact that those who read these boring posts are mostly family members who are much more interested in seeing recent photos/doings of my children than reading a clever post! Ok, where was I? Ah yes, see blog title :) At least my boring titles always let me know right away what I'm supposed to be posting about! After na...

The Russians: February 2013
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Daddy has been out of town on a project for the past 10 days and so we've been keeping it low key around here (in order to conserve Mummy's energy! But also doing some fun things. We have been to the airport playground, driven around in the car shopping carts at Kroger (a favorite treat for Jacko), played with friends, and done lots of building, Thomas trains and play-dough. And today we met Nessa and Rachel at the mall to play! The kids loved it! Wednesday, February 27, 2013.

The Russians: September 2013
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 28, 2013. Love seeing them love each other. What we're up to today.trying out a new park. These swings were a hit! Saturday, September 28, 2013. Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Yeah, so a "snotty nose" takes on a whole new meaning when oxygen tubes are involved. Yuck. And this mama has been known to suck out the nose cannula with my mouth. I know. I cannot even describe the revulsion. What we won't do for our kiddos, huh? Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Saturday, September 21, 2013. Jack wa...

Thursday, April 18, 2013. Happy birthday to my Mum who has been THE BEST example of motherhood I could have. You have loved, consoled, encouraged, empathized with, laughed and cried with me, my whole life and you have lived yours so well. Wishing you a very blessed next year. Love you always. Thursday, April 18, 2013. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Maybe one day she'll be permanently tube free! Today Sophie had her three month check in with her pulmanologist and he gave her a good report! Last Saturday was B...

The Russians: New Year's Eve
http://therussians.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-years-eve.html
Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Despite a lovely invite from friends for dinner yesterday, we were going to be spending New Year's Eve at home. We felt we shouldn't drag our germy, coughing offspring into close proximity of others. Ah well, such is life. Seeing as we probably got our germs from my sister's girls, we figured they were the only people we could, in good conscience, associate with. Ha! So we invited the cousins for dinner and the kids were SO excited to be having a PARTY together! Everyone got i...
