Christmas Parade in Orange 2010











Pictures from the Christmas Parade in Orange - 2010
We were part of the Orange County Youth Council's Float. Some of the girls pulled Petra in her wagon behind the float!
It was fun and cold...

Photo Collage - Summer 2010


Wednesday after Thanksgiving




























































































It's the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. We went home to visit my family this past weekend - for Thanksgiving. It was a really fun trip! Petra really enjoyed playing with her cousins. It was nice to see everyone. We got to see Baby Bella and Baby Marinne.


























In other news, Natasha's been having alot of bad luck, lately. First she was next to Petra, when Petra fell down the stairs. Then, a week later, she got her car towed, when she was at school. Then, this past Monday, she got a "Reckless Driving" ticket - for going 65 in a 45 mile per hour zone.


























Well, we'll see what happens. Actually, the "Reckless Driving" ticket is the equivalent of a DUI. So, she could lose her driver's license, and we could pay like $3000! I hope not!


























Also, we put-up our Christmas Tree! Petra helped me and Natasha, while Riya watched on Skype...


























I'll put-up some pictures

Petra falls down stairs and We visit the Baltimore Aquarium
























































So, two big things happened since my last entry. The Sunday when Lani and Nadia and their two guests (from Albania and Ukraine) left, a little later in the day, Petra fell down the basement stairs. She landed on her forehead and got a big bump! We called 911, and an ambulance took her to the emergency room at the Culpeper Hospital. The doctors looked at her and determined she was fine. They didn't even do any x-rays. We were just happy Petra was going to be fine. I took the next day off work to give her time to rest and recover - before sending her back to pre-school.




















Then, this past Sunday we visited the Baltimore Aquarium! It was really neat and fun for us all. Petra really enjoyed getting right-up against the aquarium glass, and watching the fish swim by. We watched a dolphin show and a 4-D movie (Polar Express)!




















I'll put-up some photos.

Natasha took Petra trick-or-treating on the Friday before Halloween weekend. On Saturday we had Halloween around our neighborhood. Then, on Sunday we went to our friends' house in Fredericksburg. It was a busy weekend!
