Natalie on a Sunday after Church as we are preparing to make Chili. Natalie is the 9th form from School #9 and has been with us for about 1 = years now. What a great add for Hefty plastic bags that you can use over and over again in Ukraine ! I keep my bread in them! She will be one of the translators for guys from AIM

Nastya's supposed to be getting the drinks ready to drink for Sunday lunch, but is pretending to drink it all!

That's me, Dougchik (that's what all my kids call me - a tender name for Doug) cooking the chili!

Here we are on March 29 celebrating Artem's 21st birthday by the pulling of the ears as we sing happy birthday to him. We had 13 for our singing night and the celebration of his birthday afterwards. Nearly all our group want to bring torts and goodies and celebrate birthdays at my house.

This is what one of our torts (cakes) looks like. Don't you wish you wish you could have some?
