Communist Invasion & An Arranged Marriage

Nemka, Vasya & Girlfriend Galina spent a very short weekend with us in Wheeling to Celebrate Columbus' good fortune of stumbling upon the Americas. What better better way to celebrate than flying an American flag for Vasya :)

Although our visit was VERY short, we spent Saturday afternoon mushroom hunting (aka hiking) at Oglebay.

Vasya is working in DC until December and Nette is in BR working for a Green Building/Revitalization Nonprofit. Of course, she's also working at LSU Grad School & finishing up her thesis that she started in Holland. And check this out, Galina attends the Green-ified Co-op daycare that Marguerite opened at the old YWCA.
I think Marguerite's little Jules was trying to foil our arranged marriage plans, but once little G caught a glimpse of Zander's square mug, it was love at first sight! Of course!
Zander definitely has a thing for older women! His bestie Norah, and now his girlie G; following in his Papa's footsteps... again :)

After a great weekend following in G's culinary adventuress, we're working though a week of extreme constipation (someone print this to torture him when he's older:). Zaner tried (and loved) Cream of Wheat, Buckwheat with a creamy mushroom & spicey mixed veggie sauce, garlicky guacamole spread on toast, veraniki (perogies), and Im not sure what else???
Unfortunately, he's even less interested in his formula now!
