Character learned the hard way...

Due to an unfortunate accident, Mr. No Name (who was unofficially becoming Chewbaca (can you see the resemblance?)) died this morning.

We are sad, but know that we can use difficult times like this to learn to value life, be compassionate, be careful, love while you can...

We loved you little Duncan Khachipuri Chewbaca!!!!

Meet Mr. No Name

This is our newest family member. The kids found him and his 4 siblings in a pipe under the road out in the country where our friends, the Brobergs, live.

He was named whimsically (Duncan, because he looked like someone had been "dunkin'" him in white paint) and quickly out of necessity, but now must receive the official name that we are willing to call outside our gate if need be. We are open to any and all suggestions!

This is Lemony Snicket, his brother. He lives with us until his family moves into their new home. He will also be receiving a new name.

He was a pretty cute puppy, too.

Girly Screams from a Baby Boy...

...it is enough to make you finally discipline, though you thought you could NEVER say "no" to that face. So this is what we see when he hears THAT word...

And it is followed by THIS face...

But Madi knows just how to make it all better. Spoiled? Maybe... Sweet? Oh my yes!!!

Welcome to our home in Krasnodar, Russia!We finally found a home and are spending every day unpacking boxes.I hope to give you a tour and some more regular updates, but one thing this house did not come with is a phone, so internet is difficult and expensive. But, I will see what I can do. Don't give up on me! Keep coming back to see if I managed to upload more. Become a "follower" of mine and I think you get updated when it happens. Thoughtful of the blogger people to come up with that one!
