Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Mima and Papa. It was truly a "Golden" day.
What Mama looks like playing 500! Come on, let's get out the cards. It helps to be winning also!
Katya is pouring herself some punch at the Golden Dinner.

James, Andri, Natasha, Sophia.
I'm not sure what I like better, the juice mustache on James, the super happy smile on Andri, the loving life giggle look on Natasha, or the life is wonderful look on Jonathan. I'm changing this one to my laptop.
Hi everyone,
School starts in a couple weeks, and Chris has volunteered to enroll the kids who are going to school, Katya (8th), Natasha (4th), and Andri (2nd). We'll have the other 4 at home. (Which is now done according to Chris). Sounds like Katya will be in choir which is great for her singing. And our neighbor girl is in the same grade so she can show her around school.
I've started working on my schedule. I think it's coming along nicely.
Chris' cousins Ann & her husband Joel, are coming over tonight to play with our children and give them "time and attention" : ) Which Ann gently reminded me that they need, but that I'm only 1 and they are 7 so it's hard some days. Ann asked me to let her know if we needed a break, and I did let her know right then, with tears in my eyes. They are so sweet to help us out.

(We just got back and all went well. They even said they would like to do it again!!! We had a nice time at a Mexican restaurant, running some errands and taking the dog to a pet store! It's the first time we had a sitter who paid for the kid's pizza, and we didn't pay them for sitting. It's a real encouragement to have friends willing to step in and help us out like this. We might last a few months on this one!)
So far so good without any meltdowns (except mine) lately. Hockey season is gearing up starting Sept 7th with fall clinic. We'll have 4 in hockey, 1 in soccer, and 2 in dance. The three boys just started football so that overlaps fall hockey a bit.
Love Alesia & Chris
