I have been out of blogging for so long, I wonder if I can still do it. The story of my last post took place more than a year ago, but I feel like it was just yesterday that we returned to America for Scott's reahab in Ft.Belvoir, VA. After months of physical therapy this past March he was found "fit for duty" and put back to work awaiting for the letter of acceptance to George Washington University for the Master's Program in Eurasian Studies. He got in. Yay!

After. This is a picture of Scott's last fitness test after the course of rehab in Feb 2012.

We spent a very hot summer in DC, taking short trips to the beach, to Williamsburg, to Niagara Falls, Palmyra, and Philadelphia. On the 4th of July we learned that we are expecting another baby. Some three months later we found out it is going to be a boy!
As soon as we got to VA, we found great music teachers. Nadia was continuing piano, David started violin. This year, due to our piano teacher's change of plans, we were left to look for another teacher, or let Nadia start living her dream playing the harp. So, Nadia, took a significant turn in her music career and now strumming her Prelude harp every free minute she has. She is truly happy and excited at this development and so are we, regardless of tripled costs for the rental harp and an hour-long lessons each week.

Ethan and Levi are hanging out with me at home. I wish I could afford preschool for them, but then I feel that it is rather selfish of me. They really don't need other kids to socialize with, and I know my ABC songs and can teach them a thing or two right here, under the roof of my home. Besides, they are the best Russian speaking children I've ever had so far. They use their Russian with ease and I know for the fact, that it won't be so, as soon as they start preschool. So, yes, I am tired and my house is a mess, but my babies are bilingual and give me plenty opportunities to take their pictures.
