McHockey: saw this billboard while driving today.
Smart way to "hook" kids on burgers... while being a Good McHockey Clown!

Translator's P.S.:
McDonald's sponsoring their own kids hockey tourney in Moscow.
Kids should register at one of their locations , etc.

Anya has grown it from a little sprout...for just a week. 

After we came back home from a week-end gateway...

our place smelled like heaven (I assume this is how it can smell there)! 

And this is when I realized - 

it does not matter where we live - 

it's WE, being together, as a family...what matters the most.

Deserted playground.
Brrrr. 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

Waiting for Anya. Her math tutor speaks only Russian!

Skiing in the park

at the nearby park, skiing, falling down as conditions were not good,
laughing at myself being on my own in the park...
happy to be on track with our game and safe home!
