Hello Spring and Katya's 3rd!!!




Here are Katya and Ollie a few Sundays ago. It was the first sunny spring Sunday and they got out their summer gear for church. Oliver kept putting his hat backwards like that on purpose, we kept calling him "Ollie G" in respect of the funny, if not slightly irreverent Sasha Baren Cohen of Borat fame, his original comic character was "Ali G" a gansta from Stains, a suburb of London. Anyway Borat aside, the kids are cute in these shots and as shown in the photos Katya is FINALLY allowing me to do her hair sometimes. She will wear "tails" and " 'rella bands" now and that makes mommy very happy.

































I am very proud of my silly little cake! But it took some thought and action. Her party, as you can see, was a roaring success. There are no pictures of the cool games, but they played pin the wheels on the car, and other wonderful car themed games. There are pictures of them colouring and designing their own cars. We are all a little sunburned and a lot happy!
I can't believe Katya is already 3. Not because she doesn't seem 3, but where did 3 years go? She is clever, obedient, and imaginative. We love her immensely and pray that she will continue to be such a joy to us always!

Has it really been three years already? It doesn't seem that long ago that Martin was blessing her in Harborne. (Thank you so much for letting me be a part of that, Martin.)

It looks like it was fun! Everyone is smiling - a very important part of the party!
Congrats on the cake, as well. I threw in the towel this year and bought a green cake from the store. My brain just could not make an alien cake.
Happy Birthday Katya.
