the Life of Olena

OK so we are still alive and well but busy beyond belief. I do not want to total bore you all with the details but I will try to touch on as as many things as I can but keeping them short and sweet! Home: We are moving!! HOORAY! we closed on our new house last Friday. First things first is the fixing up...we have lots to do to get it ready. Cleaning, flooring, painting, light kitchen and bath remodeling, electrical and some outside projects as well. We are hoping to have all of that done by July/August and the whole transition said and done by end of August! I haven't been able to do much of anything at the new house this week because we are waiting for the water to get hooked back up, so in the mean time I have been packing up and shipping out things around here. The Salvation Army was happy to see me last week. I stuffed my truck! We have managed to collect way too much junk over the past 10 years! I will get some before and after pictures posted when it's time! H

She only fell twice during her skating debute and she managed to get up all by herself, we were very impressed. working the drive way! she was waiting patiently while daddy adjusted her helmet. Notice how big the skates are? I think they weigh as much as her too. She wears a 7.5 and the smallest size I could find was a 10/12. I just LOVE my new camera!
