We are a married couple who adopted our little Russky, Nikita {aka Nicky, Nicky noodle, little man, Nikoli, the Nickster, crazy dude, goofball, puppy love, etc...you get the picture!} from St Petersburg, Russia four years ago. Join us as we stumble through the joys and perils of parenthood, while our son teaches us a few things along the road...

1st Mother's Day

A little late on posting about this momentous occasion, but oh well...better late than never, right?! My parents came up for the weekend, so it was especially nice. Even better, Momma & Daddy got to have an all-adult day on Saturday!!! We went to a matinee showing of the musical Rent - for those that don't know, I worked as an HIV/AIDS counselor in a former life, and this show really has a special place in my heart. I've seen it in London, St Louis, Chicago, and now Dallas! This was Kris' first viewing (other than the movie), and he enjoyed it as well. After a quick wardrobe change, we were off to a friend's wedding, where we enjoyed being amongst a few other couples we're friends with, and stayed up much past our normal bedtimes...and possibly had a few adult beverages as well!
In the meantime, Mr Nicky enjoyed an afternoon of playing with Nana and Pop, visiting the Dallas Zoo (he got to ride a "horsey" again!), and dinner at McDonald's! Here are a few pictures of the fun (as you can see in some of the pics his little face is still healing from the fall at school)...
Friday night Nicky and Nana played in Nicky's new sand/water table while Pop grilled us some yummy dinner. Nicky loved helping Momma water the plants, getting wet, and most of all, playing with all the toys in the water!
Daddy got up Sunday morning and cooked us all a big breakfast and Nicky gave Momma and Nana our Mother's Day Presents (a book and a watch for me & a necklace and earring set for Nana). Alas, the fun came to an end Sunday afternoon when Nana and Pop loaded up "Popt Truck" (as Nicky calls it) and drove back home. Now, every couple days Nicky asks "Nana Pop coming?" - guess that's a sign that he had a good time!
