Late Summer - Early Fall

It's gettin' to be late summer, early Fall. Petra, ofcourse, is getting smarter everyday! When does that stop?!?

We let her try a frozen popsicle, today. She really liked the SUGAR! (she started crawling around the house like one of those "super antz" that have seemed to have gotten faster, by eating Petra's Similac formula that gets spilled all over the counter.

So, I guess it's a matter of time before Petra starts walking. We're excited about that...

She seems to be doing good in Pre-School - except she has a constant runny nose...

One thing, I noticed Petra learned how to "make her body go straight" - so she'll slide out of your hands when you try to pick her up off the ground, and she wants to get back down...

She still only says "Mama." I'm trying to get her to say "Dada," and "Baabaa" (for bottle - not Ukrainian Grandmother)...

Allright, take Care,

Kevin

Almost 7 months 5 year Wedding Anniversary

Petra's 7 month birthday will be August 14th. Mine and Natasha's 5 year Wedding Anniversary was August 7th. We went to our friend's Josh and Jennifer's house last Friday, and had a nice little party! It was really fun to hang-out with them and Jeremy and Allison.

Petra's getting so smart! Today was her first day of Daycare. She's sooo strong to be able to spend her day away from mommy and daddy. I went to visit her at lunch time, and she was sort of in shock that we had sent her to this place, but we hope that eventually she will learn to like going to spend time with her new friends...

It's getting close to the end of summer. Today was Natasha's first day of work. I can tell she's going to miss spending her day at home.

We're planning a 27th Birthday Party for Natasha, this Saturday! I hope we're able to get the house in order before then.

More than 6 months old

Today is July 19, 5 days ago Petra turned 6 months old! She's getting so smart and so cute! Natasha and I took her to get her 6 month immuniization shots. It seems like she's been fighting a temperature since. But, she'll be fine - we've been giving her some baby Tylenol. My sister Katy and her daughter Kiya, and my mom came down to visit for a couple of days before the 4th of July. Katy was visiting Cincinnati, but had to go back to Colorado soon. I'll attach some photos from our trip to Tampa Bay to visit Brad, Katya, and Alex.

More than 5 Months

Petra is more than 5 months old. It's been a few weeks since we posted something, so I've decided to let you know - everything's fine. Petra is spending alot more time with mommy, since Natasha has the summer off from work. We're getting ready for a trip down to Tampa Bay, to visit our friends Katya and Brad and their little boy - Alexander! I'm busy at work and we're always looking for fun things to do on the weekend. We went to the Drive-In Movie Theater down in Fork Union, a couple of weeks ago. And, the other day we spent the evening enjoying the Bicycle Party in downtown Orange. We'll try to keep you up-to-date as this summer moves along.

Trip to Virginia Beach May 30th

We took a trip to VA Beach last weekend!

Meeting about Walmart in Orange County, VA

Last night, there was a Planning Commission Public Hearing about the Walmart planned for Orange County, VA. If you look close, you can see me behind the speakers...

A few days more than 4 months

Petra is a few more days older than 4 months! We've been pretty busy these past couple of weeks. Natasha's dad and I have been working on the deck. What else? Hmm, I've been staying busy at work and Natasha's been taking another on-line class. Raya's been babysitting for our friends' newborn boy. Raya and Volodymyr are only going to be staying with us for a few more weeks. This weekend should be busy, with my parents coming to stay with us to say good-bye to Natasha's parents. Allright, til' next time...
