Thank you 2013

Saying goodbye to 2013 and remembering all those great moments...
So thankful for all of it!

12 months

Ruslan is 12 months!

 Here is 12 things about him.

1. He is a morning person. When he wakes up he's the happiest baby(can I still say baby?) ever! One morning he went got a book, climbed back in the bed and unfolded my fist and put a book in my hand. (hey mama, it's morning time, reading time)!

Happy Halloween

It's Ruslan's first Halloween. No trick or treat though, no candy but Yes to dress up and taking pictures!
 Oh and it got so difficult to take a photo of this unstoppable lil guy. He's on the move all day, and even when he calm he wants to play with camera. So phone is my best friend this months, small , fast to push the button and slide into the pocket.

Первый блин,Руслан и бабушка/ First pancake, Ruslan and babushka

Руслан и бабушка.)) Хааа не верится мне, совсем не выглядит бабушкой, мамой скорей. Когда мы ходили гулять с мамой и Русланом в коляске, люди наверняка думали что мама с дочкой и сыном гуляет)) Мне очень нравятся эти фото,живые такие.. полны любви. Скрэппи тоже вписался удачно. "все нужно контролировать, ничто не пройдет мимо" думает он.
Вообще хотела тогда поснимать маленький квилт который сделала впервые и подарила маме. Но как-то не хотел он получаться на фото(первый блин, но сработал хорошо как яркий фон), а вот модели наоборот)

Ruslan and babushka(grandma) Hahhaa I don't believe it, she doesn't look like grandma, more like mom. When mom, Ruslan and I went for walks  I bet people thought "Mom with daughter and son"))) I like these photos a lot, they are lively.. full of love and Scrappy's legs. He is controlling everything 24/7.

My idea was to take pictures of the first ever mini quilt that I made and gave to my mom. It didn't looked good in pictures(though worked good as colorful background) models did)

What does a sheep say?/ Что говорит овечка?

Yee, what does it say? In English it goes Bah Bah . I remember around three years ago my husband and I had one hour long conversation about this!  And finally came to conclusion that we don't know that much about sounds farm animal make. And pets ... more confusing because in English your dog would go Ruff ruff or Woof woof and in Russian  Guff guff.

And all the difference is in our head , the language person speaks influences what he/she hears.That's it! Believe me dogs in different countries make same sounds and speak one doggy language.

But wait, no our dog always responses when I yell at him "Иди на место/Edeeh nah meystoh"  (means go to your place ) but  when my husband says it in Russian Scrappy doesn't listen just keeps standing where ever he is and staring into his eyes like" what are you saying dummy  I can't understand you! You have very thick accent!"  So after repeating couple times husband usually says in English "Go down"(Вниз) (Scrappy loves hanging out on our bed )  And it magically works!!!! Scrappy is bilingual or something...))
Oh, enough about this let's go back to sheep.

Gift/ Подарок :)

Around two weeks ago I had my 23d birthday)  Girl's getting older! In early morning my hubby and Scrappy(puppy) woke me up with flowers, gifts and kisses! Oh, I love waking up like that! It's been a tradition in my family to say Happy Birthday as early as someone gets up! For example if my sister had b-day , and mom would wake up first she would wake up averybody else and we all with presents and flowers would go to my lil sister room and say Happy Birthday! 

It was such a nice thing for my husband to do ! )
