What Real Friendship Is Like...

It was a typical playdate, and I got so lucky to have my camera close by. I have thousands of images, but somehow these are so special and so close to my heart...they portray the essence of childhood, the real bond these girls have over toys and ice-cream, and most importantly, our daily life :) The day is never complete until an empty ice-cream wrapper is visible somewhere, and I know, it will be hard to believe, but our girl totally ignores toys. Presents she gets stay unwrapped for months until I transfer them to our storage room, but when it comes to ice-cream, she is unstoppable. She will come up with an amazing story on how great her dinner was that she ate it all, or how she was dreaming about "something cold on a stick"...So, to see her sharing her "most precious thing" (and she does it all the time) makes me feel great.


I think someone on the right wants something really bad :) Can you tell?

!!!

That is what you get for sharing - a sweet kiss

...and a super warm hug!

See, I told you, the day is not complete without something sweet on a stick :)

The Queen of Ice-Cream

If you want some, just ask! :)

Friends, big and small, if you ever have an urge for ice-cream, come over, our freezer has limitless amounts of it. Hooray for ice-cream! :)

Hola, Amigos!

Last week we happily traded cold snowy Boston for warm Mexican sun. The trip was somewhat spontaneous, and I am really glad everything worked out the way it did, because we enjoyed every minute of it. It's been a week since we got back, but I'm still drinking Margaritas, been to a Mexican restaurant, and can't stop dreaming about Cancun. I consciously refuse to go back to reality. I'm still in paradise, in spite of the snow everywhere these memories sure are keeping me cozy. Ohhhh....Cancun! We even picked up some basic Spanish, especially Kristina, whose friendliness and social skills did not surprise, as usual (you'll see the evidence below). The craziest thing ever happened when we went into the city and I got off the bus with a girl I went to school with (for 10 years!) back in Ukraine. We were on the same bus, and got off at the same stop, can you believe it?! Talk about perfect timing, and meeting in Mexico! Simply crazy...
Well, here is a little story in pictures, take a look, and imagine you were with us!

Our extremely confident pilot. Yeah, you better believe it, that is exactly how we got there!

I lost my touch with the reality right this minute. What a view!

Tony insisted on blogging this one :)

Every day there was a "do not disturb" minute (or two :)) when Kristina didn't want to be bothered. I think she really understood the meaning of the word "relax" :)
Actually, for the 1s time in her life she was begging for naps as she was getting so tired.

I made a new friend, she happened to be also from Ukraine, but now lives in the States.

Looks like Kristina made a new friend too. That's how she is with people she meets, and as you can see this amigo didn't mind at all :)

Kids pool was amazing, heated, with animals and slides all around

We will definitely go back there again, no doubts about that...
