We're in Cananda

Here we are at the airport with my packback.

And here I am in Uncle Erwin's car. Soon we will fly on another plane.

I watered the flowers

Yesterday Riitta took us out to a little cottage that was just like a Russian dacha, only Finnish. I watered the flowers. I watered all the flowers but especially the purple ones, they are my favourite.


There was even a little butterfly in the flower pot so I made sure he got some water too.

I used the watering can too, and even put the water in it myself.

After watering flowers we did another fun thing, we picked the raspberries! They were yummy, and it was fun collecting them. Mommy liked it too.

Today we are flying to "Cananda". We are still going to Grandma and Grandpa's house, but its taking a really long time.

My new haircut

I got a new haircut! Yesterday morning after breakfast Mommy was brushing my hair and then she did something she's never done before, she brushed some of them right down in front of my eyes (that was really annoying) then she cut them! It didn't hurt though. Now I have bangs, or in speak Australian - a fringe!

We went to the beach, and played on the grass and in the water, even when the wind was blowing my hair didn't get in my eyes. Thats when I knew that I liked my new haircut.
Mommy says I look very pretty and a lot older, what do you think?

Yo yo yo yo

Finger Puppets

Mommy and I made finger puppets today. Aunty Sarah and Uncle Map sent them to me to make. I put the sticky pieces together, and Mommy helped me. Thanks Aunty Sarah and Uncle Map!

All better now

I had a "big bite" on my face. Then my eye puffed up. Mummy took me to the doctor and the doctor said that I had an allergy to the insect bite. I had medicine, I "need to eat it". Anyway, I am all better now. Daddy was a bit worried about me.



Yesterday we went to Anna's house. She has lots of fun things to play with. We had fun painting together.

Making burritos

Mommy and I made burittos! I rolled the dough, and grated the cheese. All Mommy did was the meat and the tomatoes!

The letter A

I had another birthday party! Ilias and Stevie and Jonathan came over. I got more presents,(isn't my new pink dress pretty? Stevie and Jonathan gave it to me!) and then we had a cake shaped like a butterfly, and then we went and played outside together. It was fun. I like having birthday parties. When will my next one be?

Happy Birthday to me!

This is my first birthday party at the conference with our PI friends. I got a cake with candles and I blew them all out all by myself. I'm 3 now!



Do you like my hat?



This is Leeza. She is my friend who lives in Moscow. We made crowns to wear as a craft after we learned about Queen Esther.
