We had such a good time while my aunt and cousin were here. It was nice to have their company; now my Dad just has to get that new knee of his up and running so my parents can come visit. The boys had a really good time and they are getting more and more familiar with Niagara Falls. Maria~Angelica was so sweet with her Godmother and great aunt, she really misses them and keeps asking for them. She is at such a cute age and I am glad they got to experience that. We miss you so much! Come back soon and bring Nouna Betsy , Nouno Bill and Nouno Gary!
She isn’t even 2 and she is into make-up??? That’s a powder puff in her hand.
“You’re hired!” – Visiting the Church office
Playing in the Church courtyard- gathering rocks and filling her little pockets.
“Cave on the Winds”- on the American Side Do you like our special sandals? We all looked like, and felt like, corn on the cob from KFC in our plastic yellow bags. It was a really hot day so the spray from the falls felt fantastic!
Lunch at Epicurean- Niagara on the Lake, Canada.
Maria~Angelica on the ride to the Falls from Niagara on the Lake – with her handbag and asleep with her shades.
Horse Shoe Falls on the Canadian side and the “Maid of the Mist” boat.
A beautiful shot of Thea Voula- Doesn’t she have a great smile!
Maria~Angelica running to greet Baba’.
Niagara Falls the view of the American Falls from the Canadian side. Do you see all those little yellow specks? Those are the people on the “Cave of the Winds” under the “Bridal Veil Falls”.
On the way to Church reading the book Nouna Betsy sent. Thank you Nouna Betsy.
Church- Maria~Angelica received Holy Communion with her Nouna. It is hard to make out but you can see Jonah and Basil serving as alter boys.
Out to Sunday lunch at a restaurant by the water.
Maria~Angelica again with the make-up- her she is applying chapstick to her check.
Saying goodbye and goodnight to Nouna who gave Maria~Angelica her bath and brushed her teeth. Thank you Nouna!

Great pics as usual!
“…corn on the cob from KFC…” :lol:
So great to see these!!! :sunny: :sunny:
Gorgeous pictures of the Falls!!! I cannot believe how much each of your children are growing up. Maria~Angelica is beautiful as always. I just loved that last picture with her little hand under her chin. It’s so good to see how well you are all adjusting to your new home, church etc!
I have to write you an email or chat with you some how in a week or so. I talked with Eric’s cousin who is Russian Orthodox recently all about Orthodoxy and told her all about you and your family. I am leaving tomorrow to spend more time with them so I will have to wait to chat with you more about it when I get back. Anyway, quickly I found out that she actually attends a Greek Orthodox church and she thinks your new church is some how related to hers. I have to ask her again specifically and have her write down the info for me so I can share it all with you.
ryc: thank you for your wisdom and kind words Lisa. Your wisdom always means a lot to me.
Cave of the Winds looks really fun. I’d love to see that in person. Love your son’s long hair! Looks good on him. I finally gave in and cut my son’s. M~A is looking so much older all of the sudden! Not a baby anymore.
All your kids are so cute! How old are they?
I love, love, love how Maria-Angelica always looks so girlie! Bows and dresses and everything. So cute!
