October 26th
Everything's going good with us. We're just livin' our lives. Petra is getting older and cuter and smarter everyday.
Petra is more than 9 months old. She's not walking yet, by herself, but she moves around holding onto charis. She really likes pushing boxes, chairs, baskets, and anything else she can move around on the floor.
Yesterday, we'd wanted to take a trip to the National Zoo in Washington D.C., but decided to stay close to home, instead. We made a picnic and spent a few hours at Lake Orange, just enjoying the air.
Tonight I had an important Planning Commission Hearing. I felt an obligation to say what I felt needed to be said. With experience I will become a better public speaker. I think there are two parts to speaking - what you want to say and how you say it. Tonight, at least I got my point across, I realize I could have done it more smoothly, though...
Hmm... What else? Well, Natasha and Petra are gettin' excited about the trip to Ukraine they have planned for Christmas time. It will be sad to be away from them, but I know Natasha will love to see her family. They will be very happy to see Natasha and lil' Petra!
o.k., till next time...

Almost 9 Months
Petra is almost 9 months old, and I haven't made a Post for a while. We haven't been up to much lately, just livin' our lives. I wrote some stories for the Orange Highschool football team and a review of "Othello." Natasha has been really busy with her on-line classes (Braille class and a Low-Vision class). We've been doing some fun things with Petra, like attending the 275th birthday part of Orange County, the Orange County Highschool Homecoming Parade, Graves Mountain Apple Festival, and playing out in front of the house.
It's official, Petra loves dogs! But, we probably won't be gettin' one, at least for a while, since I think Petra is actually allergic to dogs. (I guess we could get an allergy-free dog)...
We're still planning on going home to Cincinnati for Thanksgiving. So, we'll see how that goes...
And, I can tell Natasha is gettin' really excited about her upcoming trip home to Ukraine!
