Thanks to all y'all for sweet birthday wishes. . .On Thursday, we had fun times at our house with some friends. Friday, we went to the Pushkin with friends and went to Dedovsk (a town outside of Moscow) to visit friends outside of the city. Saturday we had some people over from some of Matt's classes over--poor Matt, he's so outnumbered. Towards the end of the night, Tanya said, "let's play mafia." Can you believe it? They have the same mafia as we do--nice to have fun time connections (in case you were wondering, I won when I was the killer--would you expect anything else?).
Time at the Pushkin
Tanya, the girl in red and also excellent mafia player, is really good at braiding people's hair--she grew up with many sisters and is far away from home and them in Moscow. Anyhow. . . she's a little spunky (which I love) so I tried to think of something really difficult for her to braid.--she did it in like 10 minutes.
Our local "magazine" Universam where we buy pretty much all the stuff we need here in ole' Moscva, except our produce.

Matt and Kinzie,
You guys missed a really fun Mafia night at the Cygans last month, we had two games going and Pastor Brian (dressed up as a blood-covered butcher, no less) and Jeff White (dressed up as a chef, I think) as the narrators. None of the murderers won, though, we were too good of sleuths.
One of the things that has been great about your blog has been the pictures. I especially love the picture on this post of the blue buildilng on the green hill. I know it is inaccurate, but my memories of Moscow (probably because we were there for the end of winter) are have a drab, gray tint, except for the Kremlin, Red Square, and the insides of people's homes. It's wonderful to see all the color of the country.
With love,
Josh
