Social networking

Ok..so..last time that I put an entry into the journal - was long long time ago...Not good...I admit Facebooking is taking my attention so...I will try from now on to update a journal at least once a week...

So...what is new?
Baby boy is not a baby boy anymore but becoming a toddler - already 13 months old.

Here is the picture from celebration of his BD on May 10th...

Tamara Lind is now 5 years old. I had a nice party organized for her birthday on June 18th.

 We have chosen the Princess theme this year, etc. (Last year it was all about Hello Kitty). Took some time to do some research on themes, decorations, games and other preparations...

Spent lots of money on decorations, ingredients for the cake, etc. Here are some photos...

This is the cake that we created with Raggi. He did the flags..I did the rest.

Here is another side...Cake was nice. tasted great, etc. However, one of the girls tried it and did not like it...Said it was bad...so all the rest of the girls did not want to eat any more of it...
Of course - i was disappointed...I tried not to take it close up personal...But still it left a sour feeling...

Here is the princess herself - new outfit - dress created by a talented grandma Tamara...wings and tiara - new, bought by dearest Mommy :)

The beautiful decorated table.

 Morning of Tamara Lind's BD....We filled the room with the balloons...

 Eldar Leó is participating too...

Mom the Queen, daughter the Princess....

So...on the overall picture, the BD celebration went well...But maybe considering all the emotional and financial costs involved, next year maybe we will just order time at "Adventure Club" for kids and have the celebration there...

What else - today we went to apply for the passport for Eldar Leó for our upcoming vacation trip to Spain in July for 2 weeks...Passport for kids and elderly is much cheaper than for adults. Wait is 2 weeks,hope to get it in the beginning of July :)

That's all for today...

Month of December

So..as I promised..I am making a new post each month! Wow...such an achievement...

Anyways...December is here, snow has arrived to Iceland and the cold weather as well...So..real Christmas weather outside, makes you not want to go outside but sit home in front of the computer and waste the time on Facebook.com...And I was doing it for some time now :) Not too proud of myself.

A year is almost over..time flies so fast...And there are still so many things to do before Christmas - finish buying all those gifts, sending the cards...But it only makes things better - I already baked some cookies - called "the mother's cookies" and a great thing is that I am a mother now, so it really suits me!!!!

So..next to another post..this one is finished. new topic new post :)

New Internet Obsession, girl's standing, 8th of March...

Well..
I have not been updating my blog lately since I got into a rather new social network for me, the FACEBOOK....yes, I have finally discovered it and am now spending a lot of time there...

First, I was just into the Russian social network - which is a complete copycat of Facebook, but the Russian version - Вконтакте (Vkontakte)....So, I joined in but was rather passive..Then I decided to try FACEBOOK...and let me tell you..it is much better than the Russian version....Well, as they say, the original is always much better....

So..of course, I am trying to compete and see how many friends I can get..but I am in the low profile...Some of my friends already hit the limit of 100 friends....!!! So. there is always room for improvement...

Some other great news...
Our girl has started to stand up...She is using everything which can be used to support herself while standing up..And from that position she can sit herself down..it is so cute and so great...I am proud of her!

We have got a new nanny, she takes care of our girl for the first half of the day...A Russian woman (well, actually, she is from Moldova) of a grandmother's age, but looks like maybe she is 60...But she is very good and our girl seems to enjoy her company...So, we are very lucky to find that nanny and lucky that our girl likes her as well....

So...Easter is coming...but first, as always - the International Woman's Day...The 8th of March...

So...Happy Holidays and a great beginning of a SPRING!!!!!
