A Tribute to Galushki!

   Our little Bubik turned 5 month last Friday! This is quite incomprehensible to me as I still remember with horror the night she was born, like yesterday! go to hell Lenox Hill and Dr. G! Still convinced I didn't need this c-section. We became a real family and I have never imagined how much joy and happiness she will bring to us! At first I was quite overwhelmed, as somehow nobody ever disclosed to me what it really means to have a newborn. My pregnancy went so smooth that I was sort of in denial of fore coming reality.I didn't read any books and didn't ask any questions. I was sure that during my 3 months of maternity leave I will pretty much pass all my 7 exams to be a licensed Architect in NYC. Yes, very funny!  The hardest thing was a package of sleep deprivation, recovering from c- section, and coming in terms with my new life [that will never be the same again]. I did feel at times like I'm still at school working my ass off on a project with no deadline, cause there is none. However this phase lasted about a month, then things became easier. Now I can confidently say that Galushki turned out to be by far the best and the most amazing project I've ever done! I really don't know how I was living without her all my life. In a way I didn't, cause I feel like my life just began [again]...

Happy New Year!

Dear All!

The 2013 is here and I hope all of you have celebrated as much as you possibly could!
We had it in two parts:
first one was a very cute and cosy celebration with friends (where Galushki proved herself as a rare party animal, compared to a 18 month old boy who happened to be at the party as well and peacefully  fell asleep at 9 pm).
second one at home while watching TV with a small "tazik of Olivie salad" (the Russians among you will get my nostalgic note), a wonderful bottle of Brut Rose Champagne, a fireplace, chocolate and of course my grandmothers crystal flutes.
Both were wonderful and I thank our beautiful friends for making this evening so special! and of course Galushki who was an amazing girl the whole night!
