Well, yesterday was funny. We took Claire with us yesterday to play with the boys. We are alternating the kids coming along so we can save on taxis. We played out doors in the snow. we pulled V on the sled which rapidly became a workout, while R kept taking pictures. R's little fingers got red with the cold,but he didn't care. Then we managed to get both boys on the sled, pull them up a tiny incline, run and push them down as fast as possible. Not exactly Carrowinds but still our best effort. With the boys sitting in the sled, Nick went for the photo. V flipped the bird at the camera! I couldn't believe it! Nick kept saying "Nyet" and refusing to take the picture. I said "nyet" too but all V could do was smile. Then I looked at Claire who was laughing her head off.
Natasha helped us explain how ugly that gesture was, and eventually V gave in and made the two finger "peace" sign. We'll post that photo as soon as we are able.
The boys are supposed to be going to the circus today, so we won't go visit them. We plan on taking Claire shopping and perhaps visiting the famous Lugansk museum. We have to do something or else get cabin fever. Boy is it cold out there. love to all Nancy

Great to hear more about the boys.
About the cold weather: I've been watching that deep blue spreading across Europe on the weather map. Is it that dry cold as in the Rockies, or the damp cold we know in the East? I remember living in Denver. I was chilly but never really uncomfortable even when it was below 0. I went out to Red Rock one day and got sunburned on my back, when it was about 12 or 14 degrees. (My shirt was off.)
RE: flipping the bird. Nick is his father's son. I never remember lecturing on that. (Never needed to.) So it must be genetic. Now, are you sure V was making the peace sign? (palm toward you) or was it the back hand English (Churchill) version (which is like a double bird?) Not serious, just kidding.
Stay as warm as you can over there but AVOID CABIN FEVER at all costs.
Nancy, bring lots of chocolate home. Cheap, easy to pack, and everybody loves it.
Keep up the good work and stay warm!
