• ~Girl’s night out and meeting Elena.~

  
  

  I had a really nice evening!  I don’t have any pictures of my evening,  but I can tell you about it. We went to a cool little Arab place for dinner, with my girl’s night out friends and my brother’s very sweet girlfriend. My friends treated me to dinner, brought me a wonderful cake and gave me a lovely new bag from Talbot’s. Thank you friends! My actual birthday is not until next Friday, June 30th, but some of my friends will be away next week, so we got together this week instead. It was a very nice surprise, I had no idea we were getting together for my birthday.

  
  

  I surprised them with bringing Elena (Lena) along. Michael met Lena in Russia and she is just as sweet and delightful as she is beautiful! I hope she had a good time and enjoyed her dinner. Here are some  pictures of Lena and the children from meeting for the first time, the other night.  Basil, whose Nouno (Godfather) is my brother Michael , was calling Lena, “the girl who might be my Nouna.” LOL!  Kind of like ‘the artist formerly known as prince’. LOL! Basil is waiting for Michael to marry so he can have a Godmother, like his brothers and sister.

  We bought her earrings and a jewelry box and she brought lots of cute little Russian toys for the boys.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Here are a few pictures from Church on Sunday, so Maria~Angelica’s Godparents can see how she is growing!  Marie~Angelica is wearing one of the dresses my friend Vivian bought her last summer, for my baby shower. Her  little soft leather shoes are from France ( I bought them in several sizes back when we lived in London)  and all her brothers wore them too, not with ruffled socks though! The ruffled socks and panties sure do make dressing a daughter so much fun though!   Here she is grabbing Ms. Dolores’ (our choir director) brooch. She did the same thing with Lena’s pearls. Destined to be a girly girl??
