First day of school

Alex's first day of preschool - Sep 2, 2008.
He really likes it. When I picked him up today (third day there) he told me he "loves it and wants to go there every day."

August 2008 - in WA

Almaz, cousin Klara and Alex at my brother's house for dinner.

Me and Almaz with one of the many many fiddles that my brother has at his house.

Really...just had to add it because it was too funny.
