We made it back to Moscow late last night. We are staying in a very old apartment near the city center....about a 15 minute walk to the Kremlin and Red Square. Hopefully it will stop raining in a couple of days, and we can do some sight-seeing. It's nice to have the extra space at the apartment, and the ability to actually cook is great.
Unfortunately, internet is not available at the apartment, and so far I haven't found anything withing walking distance. We are working with two different "Alex's" while we're here. The younger one does not know our neighborhood well, but he's more tech-savvy, so he's promised to come tomorrow afternoon and help us navigate the city Wi-Fi network. The older Alex (Alexander) has lived 20 years two buildings away from our apartment, so he knows the area well, but he's not a computer guy.
With some luck and a good guide, we hope to be back on line tomorrow night with pictures as our adventure continues.
All is well. Andrew and Kathlena are adapting great, enjoyed the flight (especially Andrew) and we are all ready to come home.

So glad things are going well. Look forward to new entries on the blog. Love the pic.
See you friday. God's blessings be all around you. Love, Mom
How wonderful to see you all together! Of course to me, it seems like it went quickly. lol Those cold climates there wreak havoc on hair. I had to plaster mine with hairspray to keep it from flying away. Yes, American name brands are in high demand with an even higher price tag:0
Whenever you want to communicate 'You say ...' to Andrew, tell him 'skah-zhee' (that means 'say' in Russian) then say what you want him to repeat in English.
You are right. They are like little parrots. They will repeat exactly what you say. My boys thought Karina was making fun of them, but that is the beginning of learning English. You'll be amazed a month from now at how much he will pick up. If you would like to know an interactive computer program for helping to teach English, email me when you have time.
Dosvahdonyah!
