Hi there! Miss me? People have been asking for photos, so I figured the 12th was a good day to post again. I know that everyone wants to see the new housing, but right now none of our own stuff is in it, so there's really no point. Once we receive our sea shipment and get the place personalized a bit I'll post photos of the house.
For now, here is our 12 of 12 June. All photos were taken in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russian Federation. My camera was still on Spain time, since I had never switched it upon our return to Houston, so the times are approximate. Check out Chad's site to see what everyone else did!

7:30 - Good morning!
11:20 - Apparently we were sleepy this morning because for the first time in forever we fell asleep during Mama's exercise.
11:21 - The view from our front porch; fabulous weather this week!
11:22 - I love these trees; they do change color and lose their needles, but they look fabulous right now because they've all come in and are bright green.
12:10 - A neighbor has a new puppy named Wolfie. Miss Thing really enjoys playing/petting/hugging and as you can see here, feeding the good doggie.
12:15 - A friend of ours has an 8-month old. PJ loves to watch Miss Thing and Wolfie play.
13:15 - Colors! They keep us busy while we wait for our weekend lunch. Mama and Daddy have breakfast and the girl eats chicken or peanut butter and jelly.
13:45 - We LOVE to play "basketballs!" As in, we ask to play every day.
14:00 - This drill? It is apparently for squishing noses. Noses that are sniffing. I have no clue.
17:30 - BATH! We love this and go "swimming" every time.
18:15 - An after bath after nap snack with Daddy. We are watching the inaugural winter X-games on the television. Anyone know what year that was from? The shows here are behind a bit sometimes...
19:00 - Russian Dinner night at the community center.
The best thing was the meat-stuffed Cabbage and the Blini's (crepes, but not sweet, which are stuffed with anything...ours were stuffed with cabbage and apples and were quite delicious). Also present are stuffed pork, parsley potatoes, cold cucumber soup, and three cold salads: Russian (meat, potatoes, and carrots), cabbage (like a cold slaw with extra onion and different dressing) and Olympia (ham, egg, cheese, cucumber).
It was all very yummy; one of the best meals I have enjoyed there. Hope you enjoyed our day!

Welcome back! I'm mildly disappointed that you aren't living in some exotic Muscovite architecture.
Thanks for sharing your day! I assume the drill is used to re-connect ones nose after an adult steals it? Ha ha ha!
I enjoyed your pictures. Miss Thing is a doll. I bet she keeps you busy. Thanks for sharing.
Dinner looked yummy. Miss Thing is getting so big and so cute!
So now you're in Russia! How cool - I really look forward to seeing a bit around the country, as you educated us with Spain (which I've still not visited, but could at least see a little of thanks to you).
Enjoy settling and exploring - that bit when everything is still new can be so exciting (nerve-wracking too, but it helps having family/friends around for support). Here's to more 12 of 12s :-)
