Shadi loves flowers. She planted her own tulips last year and was so excited when they bloomed. In typical Shadi fashion, she cut them and gave them away to people that had been nice to her. These are some photos I took today of the flowers in our yard. (more…)

Kate and the Aurora, Moscow, Russian Federation, 2008
For anyone keeping track of Kate, she will be making a big trip soon. This time it will not be on a train from St. Petersburg with a cabin full of crazy Italians but on a plane back to the United States.
Kate has her interview with the United States Consulate on January 14th, just two weeks from today. Assuming that everything goes to plan, it will take a few days after that for her to receive her new visa. Then she will have a couple of weeks to close out her work in Moscow and allow enough time for her mother to come see her off.
So, Kate should be back in Texas sometime in the first half of February. She will return to her husband Mike, a new position with the same firm she worked with in Moscow, and a newly renovated condo…Way to Go, Mike!
