Distractions

Time sure is interesting. It amazes me on one hand it is inching by. Each day seems like an eternity and like we will never make our way back to Russia. On the other hand the days are flying by. With each day Brady, Madison, and Blake get older. I find myself wishing the days would go by so fast so that we could get back to Russia, and then I am mad at myself for wishing that the days go by fast. Quite confusing actually.

So what helps a lot is 'Brady & Maddie distractions'. They do help time fly, but we enjoy each moment we can with them. This week it seems the favorite activity is cooking.

Here is Brady cooking turkey burgers. He was quite proud of himself.


Here are the chefs making cake for our small group meeting on Sunday night. They decided to add blue food coloring to yellow cake mix and guess what they got…. green cake. Brady then decided to make black frosting and call them swamp cakes.


Then Monday night we made cupcakes for Madison to take to school. She really loves anything chocolate. Wonder where she gets that?


This is clean up – a relaxing bubble bath before bedtime.


I love the artistic contrast here - Snow white clean bubbles vs. Chocolatey brown chubby cheeks :-)
