Last Day with Nana

Thanks for coming, Nana!  We had a blast and were spoiled by all you did.

Ladies Day at Hillwood with Nana

In front of the mansion before our tour.

Walking through the gardens after the Dacha house.

Relaxing in style.

Lunching in the cafe with borscht and sandwiches.

Matching Sisters

With his caring and brilliant teachers.  Nickolas was blessed this school year.

The Class of 2012 (Nickolas is the 6th from the left).

The graduate.

Nickolas reciting with his class John 3:16.  It sounds like the voice of an angel when he says it for us.

Mother's Day

Lucy's Mother's Day gift.

Mother's Day stroll with Nana Jean.

Nana caring for a sick Nickolas.

Ice Dogs

We may need to have a discussion on showboating his Ovechkin imitations.

I think he may have won this face-off.

Nickolas's skating is certainly improving except that it is too tempting and fun to slide on one's belly.

Bat-a-Thon

Nickolas at his Bat-a-thon with an announcer reading his bio as he swung.  The announcer is a little hard to hear, but he had some good hits!

Here's a link to a Youtube video Dan took from a different angle that has better sound quality.

Nicklas and Nickolas!

Daddy and Nickolas went to the Kettler Center today to watch the Washington Capitals practice in great anticipation of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Afterwards, they ran into Caps star Nicklas Backstrom who kindly signed a hockey puck and picked up Nickolas for this awesome picture.  

3 Going on 23

Lucy has been enjoying walking around the house in mommy's shoes.  The best are her sound effects of "Whoa .... wwhooOOAAaa".
