We’ve had a pretty hot summer so mommy decided to set up Sofia’s swimming pool. Here she is playing around it

Sofia finally has a cousin. Eliah Ungur was born on June 28th, 2010.

Sofia loves to play with him and tries to feed him every chance show gets

She cannot wait for him to grow up so they can chase each other.

We had the pleasure of having the Ardeleans visit us for Memorial Day. it was a great opportunity for Sofia and Max to get go know each other better. She was really good about playing and sharing toys, trying to feed Max and give him lots of hugs and kisses. Lets hope the last two won’t come to hunt her in the future ….

Today Sofia is wearing her first skirt ever. it’s still a little too big, but mama couldn’t help putting it on her ….

I haven’t posted here in a loping while so maybe it’s time to catch up on what’s been happening with us.

Sofia is enjoying Seattle tremendously, she loves all the outdoor stuff she gets to do.

Last weekend we all went to pike place market to buy beautiful flowers and to enjoy some amazing Russian pastries from Piroshki Piroshki. Sofia especially enjoyed running after the pigeons and trying to feed them.

After that, we went for a long walk in the Seattle Arboretum, which is like a huge public Botanical garden, full of amazing blooming trees and shrubs.

Then it was time to head on home and take a much deserved nap

Sofia is enjoying her new neighborhood. she likes running up and down the hill that is our cul-de-sac.

We took uncle John to see Seattle today. Here’s us at Kerry Point, enjoying a beautiful view of Seattle.

Sofia and mommy got to unpack some of our things the other day. Sofia had lots of fun with the wrapping paper. but mommy’s dreading having to unpack all of our stuff once we move in our new house.

Sofia, mommy and daddy went to church last Sunday for the first time since moving to Seattle. we all missed our church back home and all our friends there

The day after we moved to Seattle for good Sofia caught a little bit of a cold. We hate to see her suffer this way but are happy to see that, for the most part, she is in good spirits.

PS: Daddy is hoping that Mommy will get back to her good routine of posting on this blog. Everyone misses Mommy’s posts!
