Poor Baby!

Flat Stanley's holding on for dear life with crazy Alexander driving :)
Much safer riding in the back seat :)
and No, Alexander did not understand at all :) :)

Here is the poor little girl, obviously not feeling well :(
Though she still manages this:
She loves her headbands
So pretty, and she did not understand them either, but was happy they were made by danny, victoria and papa
The medicines kicking in and kicking her butte!
I wrapped her like a pelmini :)
Trying to see what everyone else was doing
I played with her feet since she was so tired and sick
Oksana has job security, making the beds several times a day
Being silly with little energy
A peak at lunch, borscht, bread, hot drink and if you look closely the raw chopped onions :(
I spent 1 1/2 hours with her and she was so yucky, I told her to sleep and I would see her tomorrow.
Every 20 minutes or so the nurse would tell her to cough. Then the workers would tell her to play with mama, talk with mama, speak english. She was so tired.

When I got back to the room I decided to take a walk around a bit.
The sun was out and it was pretty nice and just after lunch time. There were quite a few vendors back:
Hot Dog anyone??
Selling newspapers by the under the road cross walk
Our favorite restaurant, buffet style and only a 5 minute walk from the hotel
A church across the street having some work done
A pretty building next to the restaurant, I think it is apartments, see all the satellite dishes?
A fountain next to the church
A stray dog chilling in the shade. We have seen them all over here. Very few cats, buts lots of stray dogs.
But the people treat them very well. I have seen lots of them feeding the dogs, petting the dogs etc.

The line up of Matrushka buses and the line to get on one
I am relaxing in the hotel room waiting for my buds to come back from visiting their little one.
Not sure the dinner plans yet, but I have been challenged to a game of Uno later :)

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but onion is thought of as healing. It is believed to heal colds, intestinal worms, and wounds. I'm sure they've told you that though. Eating a raw chunk o onion would be hard to swallow every day though. She's a trooper.

It's really so much prettier in the sunlight! It was so drab for us.
Doe Gerri seem to eat the same things everyday? We think Artiom does, everyday we would get him after lunch and he would burp and we would be like "ohhhh, beef barley" yuck, I know.

Praying court is going to happen for you THIS week! I really think it will.

Does Gerri have a cold?

I'm seeing lots of jeans on the women in the outdoor pictures. Where are the infamous mini-skirts?

Hope Gerri feels better soon!

Just wanted to make sure you thought of this because I didn't when we brought Flat Stanley on vacation with us - hold him in front of the camera when you take pictures of monuments or buildings or shopping areas. I just took generic pics of him and was so upset when I realized the cool scenarios I missed. It was a major DUH! moment for me lol.
Praying for court! Good luck.

What do you mean when you say she was "Yucky"? Was it her behavior? Hopefully she will feel better soon! I think one of the meds that you bought for her was Actifed. The one in the red flat package. That really does make you sleepy! Praying that your court date is SOON!!

We have a home remedy for colds, which includes honey and onions, but taken only when we have colds. Couldn't imagine swallowing a plain ole onion every day though. :( yuck!
