Well, here's to snow in May! We have had snow for the past 4 out of 6 days--not continuous, but off and on throughout the days. Definetely something I never thought I would see!

Next up is a picture of the view from our apartment at 10:00pm--notice how it isn't completely dark yet--- it is light from around 4am until about 11pm now. I put 8 trunks in front of Emma and Paul's window and covered them with a blanket to block out the light. It isn't pretty, but at least it works!

Oklahoma Boys!! Here is Chris Novosad, Travis, Lee and Paul--all the oklahoma boys in Nizhnevartovsk! It is sooo good to have them over, eat, and talk about things only oklahomans would know about! All of us graduated from OU, so it is fun to reminicse.

Emma chose this lovely umbrella for herself--she loves all the cats and dogs on it, and to top it off, it has a whistle on it ---super!

Lastly, here is a photo that emma took of herself! The other morning, she came into our room, asked us to get up, then left and shut the door. Naturally, we fell back asleep, and emma occupied herself. She came back in later, and told me she had a secret to tell me---she whispered in my ear that she had been taking pictures... I came into the living room, located the camera, and took a look at her handiwork. She had loaded up the camera with pictures of the living room and herself. I cracked up!
