Work Events

Image
One thing that is very different with Mike's job here in Moscow are all of the work events. I absolutely love any time that I can tag along. I'm a stay at home Mom. Most of the time I wear yoga pants. I think I like it because it's a change. It's not mandatory for me to attend, and it doesn't happen that often. We were able to attend a Concert and Reception at the Cultural Center of the Russian Federation Armed Forces.  Mike snapping a picture before the show. This Lady played some of the most moving music I have ever heard. Look at that beautiful stage! Behind Russian Military Unit Flags  We got to see Vladimir Matorin a famous Russian Opera singer. He is considered one of the greatest contemporary bass singers in Russia. This is one of those rare right place, at the right time moments. Group Photo with Vladimir Matorin. 

Happy Birthday Alexis!

The older my children get, the harder it is for me to fully enjoy the fact that they are another year old! Oh Alexis, 6 years ago today, I got to hold you in my arms for the first time as a newborn baby! We had the whole medical team there. Uncle Joe and Uncle David waited outside the waiting room door. Daddy of course was with me. We knew you would be on the small side but worried about your health. As soon as you were born you let out a loud cry! I remember a nurse saying something like, "Aint nothing wrong with that little one, she just wanted to be out!'' From that day on you have been a sweet little spirit that has let her opinions be known. And not in a bad way either. I think that's a great skill to have especially since you are my third born! When I held you in my arms I knew right away that you were missing a little buddy in heaven but that is a story for another day. Today I want to let you know that I am so glad that I have the opportunity to be your Mom...
