Happy New Year

Welcome to the beginning of 2009-an amazing year! The list is too long and always changing to say everything that will happen this year, but a few for sures are:
*Baby Boy Kultajev #3 will be here in 38 days...more or less!!
*Roma will graduate-it is the year of hope, right?
*Alyosha will start school! Kindergarden round up (where he gets to see his classrooms for the first time) is on February 12th.
*Luka is going to go from 2 to 3, he will turn into a big brother and a big boy.

Alyosha is painting his New Year's celebration painting. There is a very detailed description of every stroke--If you are a true artist, you surely see the symbolism.

The New Year Table--Kids celebrated with Apple Cider Champagne.
Alyosha petting the Ball Python at OMSI. It is a new year and we have started a new schedule. I have decided to start calling it Home Preschooling because we do so many great things and the kids are learning just like or even more than they would learn at preschool (Детский Сад) OMSI is one of our preschool days--Art projects and all.
Luka playing music for everyone else who are dancing--you have to see the video.

The kids, Papa being the main one, built a sail boat that really sails. No leaks. Alyosha christened it the Shark Tooth, captianed by Captian Papa Roma, Captian Alyosha and First Mate Luka


Two kids in the New Year--it will turn into three very soon! Yeah! 3 Brothers... Три богатыря
