  • Assorted photos....

    Last week was VBS, and on Thursday it rained. That was also my day to have Kirstin's kiddos, so I picked them up in Keller, and she thoughtfully provided them with umbrellas, as it was rainy:

    Brollies on parade!  ;^)

    This morning I fetched Margaret from her sewing class; here she is with the doll upon which she's been working:

    And what a treat!  Sveta kindly scanned in and sent a class photo from when Dmitry was five or six:

    Can you spot him?  He's the glumster on the left, standing in front of a girl with a huge bow (Russians do love bows on their little girls) and a boy in a coat and tie.  Being Dmitry, his first comment upon seeing the picture was to darkly mutter about "There's the bully!"

    Um, that would be the little girl standing next to him.  When I pointed out she's smaller than he was, he defensively said "Yeah, but she'd pull my hair!" 

    The tall boy next to her was one of Dmitry's particular friends, Sacha, and the boy on the other end of the line....looking to the left....was his other good friend, Anton.

  • Lovely photo of Margaret with her do.l - she's doing a great job! I'm so impressed.

    And those are BOWS? They look like Flying Nun hats, ready for takeoff! Russian boys must be told to be solemn and NOT smile.

    Love the brolly photo, too. Cute.

  • She probably just liked Dmitry and wanted to get to know him. :love:

  • What fun for Dmitry to have this picture!  The bully-girl does look very unhappy.... What's with the boy with the wild shirt with the red collar?  THERE is a non-conformist in the midst!  I also noticed the girl who has on red shoes (& red flowers)!  Dmitry had some light-colored hair then - maybe from playing outside.  Thanks for sharing!

  • Margaret's dolly is nearly as cute as she is. Those bows are huge!! We need to tell Cindy that nuns wimples are never frilly :wink-wink: What a neat picture for Dmitry to have.
