little update on us.

I can't believe we're in the second half of July!  Summer is winding down and I am kinda excited about it.  It's HOT here.  We've been staying busy and enjoying ourselves and trying not to wish we were in the U.S. too often (although we do miss everyone).  I've got lots of pictures of things we've been doing and seeing and a few videos I hope to upload soon. Until then, here's a quick update on a few things.

Ivy is: 

-walking!  she's been taking steps and pushing things for about a month, but officially a walker as of the past few days. 

- singing tunes with made up words/ babble

- feeling much better after two weeks of being sick with multiple bugs.

- loving all the attention she gets at the grocery stores, malls, and church.

 

Asher is: 

-writing his own name.

-drawing great pictures of planes, trains, houses and boats. 

-telling people how old he is, when his birthday is, and where he's from. "I'm from America, I was born in California, my sister was born in Boston. Mom, where were you born again?" 

-wanting a bike (we're looking for one, although still can't find one without some superhero or cartoon theme)

John is:

- back from a week long business trip to Moscow.  

His boss suggested he take his wife and kids next time.  (hmmm does he want to know if we would ever consider moving there?)

So, maybe we'll go on a trip to Russia in August. Anyone every been besides my BIL- Uncle Dan?

Toria is:

due sometime around February 1st.
