Headed to Finland (which may be north but is, to all intents and purposes, also WEST) for a mini-break. The weather won't be warmer, the days won't be longer, but there will be smiling people speaking English. (I've been there. It's true.)
We are going to swim in the hotel's pool, visit a water park, and...who knows? Order room service? Go to Toys 'r Us for puzzles and bath toys? The zoo? Science Museum? Children's exhibit about mammoths? Planetarium? Bowling? Shopping?
We're both recovering from a nasty bug, but I'm determined we'll recover elsewhere.
Attack cats and housekeeper installed in the flat, and upstairs neighbor is home and alerted, so don't bother with the grand-theft plans.
Be back at the end of next week.
To tide you over:
pix from before the baptism--her dress was for-church-only, so this new sweater helped make walking to church and lunch afterward special, too

We have to see if our Easter dates match up.
Hope u r both feeling better soon.
We had a great break: likewise enjoyed being greeted with a smile and not hostility for speaking English! I've found the hardest bit holidaying as a single parent is coming home!
Have a fantastic break :)
Have fun and ENJOY!!!
Enjoy your vacation!
Have a great time!!
She is so pretty!! Enjoy your getaway...sounds like you have some good fun planned :) Oh, and feel better quick!
Gorgeous....and I just love the header photo, which looks so amazingly wonderful as a header.
I envy you a vacation, that's for sure. If I could get up money for gas - where could I go? Detroit? See...one more plus for Russia - you can vacation in interesting places.
Wow! That sounds like an awesome trip! I want to go:).
She is so pretty. What a cutie.
I'm glad you are getting to take a break and go somewhere fun for a while.
Such beautiful pics.
Have a wonderful time in Finland. :-)
Enjoy your winter vacation.
Into the West! Hurrah! Have a good respite.
What a beautiful Christian child. She looks so much older and happier now that has a mama and a home.
enjoy!! such cute pictures
We're heading to a water park too but only to WI Dells
Hi! When will you get back? I finally was able to send you a package from Rachael and me via two consultants who lead training at our school yesterday. Can you email me at aginmoscow at gmail dot com so we can figure out how you'll get the bag? Ideally, someone needs to go pick it up b/c I can't really ask them to store it/deliver it themselves. You're going to love it all! So will Lexie and your other girls!
Just came across your Blog...Please visit mine and let me know what you think!

thinking of you and your little bunny. *hug*
I hope you are having a fun trip!
Love, Nif
Hope you are enjoying your break! Finland is a lovely place to visit. Loved the rock church.
Sounds like it is just what the Dr. ordered. Enjoy this special treat together!
thinking of you guys as your week winds to a close and you head back to the not.so.fun stuff.
Hope to talk when you get back and are rested and healthy, or even if you're not. Julie
Beautiful photos! Hope you had fun in Finland!
I somehow missed this post until now. Can't wait to hear about it - hope you had a great time and a much needed recharge (no pun intended.)
