Andri in Hockey Gear. Katya & Andri at an Ice Cream Social.

911: A big boy sliced Jonathan's foot open playing hockey on Friday with his skate. It was a freak thing, as it was cut below the skate, and he had all his gear on. 6 stitches, and not too much blood loss, only shock for me!

James trying to get into a photo with Katya. Natasha with her friend Kasey who she loves to see. She lives near us and comes over often and entertains our family! We saw her at ice skating.
Katya & Mama in Katya's room. Kids at a Willy Wonka play on the day Jonathan hurt his foot.

Track: All the kids are in track and some apply themselves more than others!
Ice Skating: Katya, Pasha & Natasha all have lessons, and sometimes their feet hurt. Everyone skates MWF when we get a chance to go.
Car Problems: I rammed into someone when the kids were loud and she stopped abruptly. I am driving the big van now and that is interesting. No problems and quieter children now.
Chess: Besides my finally check-mating Jonathan, we have found a chess club for him, James, & Jaclyn. When the others improve their game, they are welcome as well. James (7) played a 14 year old and beat him 1/2 the time!
This Weekend: I am going to spend a girly weekend with my mom and lady family members. Chris will have all the kids for the weekend. We have been preparing the kids for this for a few days and I think all will be fine. It's my mom's 60th birthday.
Music Lessons: Today, Jaclyn, Katya & Jonathan had guitar. Jaclyn, Natasha & Katya had voice, Jonathan had piano, and Natasha had violin group lesson!!!! While the kids were at voice/guitar, the others were at the nearby library (I walked back and forth 1 block). It all went great!
Rosetta Stone: Chris got us up and running with the English version, and all but Katya have tried it. I realized I can put English subtitles on our movies and that helps as well.
Chris and I: We are doing good, I run to him when I need some space from 7 children needing something, and he is trying not to fill me up with all the things I could do better. We're keeping the lawn mowed, and yard in order. We have trimmed the kids hair to keep it healthy and looking nice. Our home is "presentable" but I would like it a little cleaner.
It's 11:13 And I'm fading fast! Love from Alesia & Chris
