Spring is in the air

Ukraininans celebrate spring on the first of March, but it was much more true to it's actual date than we would have liked.  Well, I actually didn't mind too terribly much.  March 8th is Women's Day.  It's supposed to mark the "We can do it" attitude of women, but has been watered down to chocolates and flowers.  Now let's be honest, I love both flowers and chocolate, so I can't complain too much--plus we got the day off of school.   Zoya joined my friends and I for a "Sound of Music" sing along, nothing beacons Spring like a shout-out to the Austrian hills; I myself hope to frolic through them with our family someday.

Cock-eyed Sanders?

This picture may not look it, but Rawly is always very concerned for his little sister's well being.

I love it when he wakes up in the morning to let us know, "Zoya singing," or "Zoya, wake!"

It's hard to believe that she's already grown out of this outfit and that she is now holding herself up on four limbs.

We love tickling her.  Rawly can make her laugh more than anyone else can!

She loves gnawing on anything that she can get her paws on.

Zoya likes to help with toothbrushes and grabbing silverware--especially with food!

So Spring, have I mentioned how I love when flowers pop their little necks out?  The birds are chirping, the sun is rising earlier, which can mean only one thing--BRING ON DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!!!  This Sunday is the day apparently.  Maybe we can sleep in until the "new" six or shhhh...even seven???
