Adam loves smiles.  He has his game down pat.  He stares at the back of someone’s head until they turn around and give them a smile.  Then he smiles back quickly before turning his head away and hiding in shyness.  Then he will glance back out of the corner of his eye to see ifContinue reading “Smile for a smile”

This morning after Adam’s morning nap we headed out to see Lenin. We had to wait on line. Can you spot Adam? We weren’t allowed to bring our cameras past this point so we’ll have to be creative in our desciptions to keep our readers attention 🙂 We had to walk into his tomb which looks like this fromContinue reading “Lenin and Adam Meet Again”

I like to tell Fo and Adam, it’s the journey, not the destination, that makes it all worth it.  That’s a tough sell at 7PM when a cranky, hungry, certain someone (hint: not naming names but its someone who is not on an all-liquid diet) has been lugging the stroller through the underground labyrinth of Moscow.  So IContinue reading “Adam's Moment with Vladimir L.”

I asked Randy to pick up a few staples from the commisary… What we have here are two frozen pizzas, catfish, chilli, chorizo, all the fixings for peanut butter and jelly and three types of ice cream.  Oh and milk. –Fotini

Yay! Is it breakfast time?  Mmmm…I love fresh bib in the morning. Hmmm….is this all that the chef has prepared today? Thank you, but I’ll just look out the window instead. –Adam

You’ve all heard me talk about the many, many, many stairs in Russia. Here is a little peek at how the Russians do wheelchair accessible. I tried this ramp with Adam and it is STEEP.   Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen any people in wheelcahirs…. I did not try Adam on this wheelchair accessible ramp.Continue reading “Wheelchair accessible”

After our failed market trip on Sunday, I decided to have another go at it.  I was told by a vendor that Wednesday is a good day to go. It’s a whole sale market day and open from 8-12.  By the time I got Adam up (his jet lag has him sleeping in until 10),Continue reading “Market Day”

On Tuesday, Adam and I decided to go to the Moscow Zoo.  It’s really close to our house and amazingly only involved going up and down one flight of stairs. We encountered this little guy on our way over. I’ve never seen anything like it and we weren’t even at the zoo yet. Let meContinue reading “Moscovski Zoopark”
