Summer Fun

California is warm and sunny, so mommy brought my ducky-tub out onto the patio for splash time!

And the new park opened on our hill. I had a great time in the play area.

I turned 1 year old 7/17/08 and celebrated in Moscow, with Mommy, Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Igor & Cousins Oleg and Maxim.

I was Christened in an Orthodox church. The ceremony was conducted in a centuries old traditional service.

Soon after, it was time to say goodbye to everyone in Moscow and fly home to papa in California.
