A Day at the Mall

свети илияПравославни иконихотелско обзавеждане So this REALLY isn’t my favorite thing to do but every once in a while Stacy and the girls find a way to trick me into tagging along while they shop. Today was one of those days. We all went to the movies (the girls and I saw ‘Land of the [...]

Skaters in the Alley

Hannah is teaching Sasha all her best moves. So far it’s going very well, but from the look of his eyes, he may have already taken a tumble or two…. No, never mind. That’s just Sasha….

I took this photo just after Sasha’s kindergarten music program. He and his best friend Matt (left) took a moment away from their cookies to pose for the camera.

online casinomach-zehnder Last night was one of those moments that causes you to pause and reflect. If you know our family or have been following this blog for the past year or more then you’ll understand. Last night started out not too different from any other Monday night in the past several months. I arrived [...]

Scary face
January 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
This is Sasha’s “scary face”. I don’t know why but this is one of my favorite pictures of him. I guess it’s because it really shows his personality. I took this picture just after Christmas.

1 year ago today
November 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Well it’s hard to believe that it’s already been 1 year. That’s right, one year ago today was the day we picked up Sasha from the orphanage in Cheboksary, RU. If you’ve frequently this site for long you’ve probably already read of some of the other events of that day. But even with all of [...]

Bloomington Reunion (Sasha sings)

Bloomington Reunion (Sasha sings) from Randy Bradshaw on Vimeo. This is another short video taken during day 1 of our Bloomington trip. It starts out with Sasha singing one of his favorite songs from the Disney Channel to Luba. Of course, it’s all in English but she seems to enjoy it anyway. The remainder of [...]

Bloomington Reunion from Randy Bradshaw on Vimeo. In August we took a long weekend and traveled to Bloomington, IL. Sasha’s orphanage director (Luba) had made the trip from Russia so she could see him again. We were there for about 4 days and this short video is day 1. The trip went very well, thanks [...]

Back-yard Fun

компютри It seems that we’ve had more than our fair share of beautiful days in Texas this year. Of course, that typically means we’re in for a BLAZING summer. At any rate, we took full advantage of the day.

5th Grade Choir Class

This was a short performance that Hannah’s choir class gave for some of the visiting parents. The songs sounded pretty familiar but somehow they managed to add their own personal touch to it.

Day 2 without training wheels
April 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Sasha finally determined that he was just too big to be riding his “hog” around on 4 wheels. So he finally convinced me to remove the training wheels and, as you can see, it looks like the time was right. Oh, and I thought the boots added a nice touch. After all, he is a [...]

Since I had to work all week Stacy decided to take the kids to the aquarium. The girls had been there a couple of time but this was Sasha’s first visit. He seemed to be pretty impressed!….

Bucaneer-Bash!
March 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Most of the posts I’ve made made over the past few months have been about Sasha (for obvious reasons). But we also have 2 AMAZING daughters that we’re more proud of than you can imagine. Here’s a short video that I took recently of Reagan (our oldest) at one of her 6th grade choir performances. [...]

The “little” Lebowski
February 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Since we had President’s day off we decided to load up the family and head to The Main Event. We weren’t sure what to expect from Sasha at a bowling alley but, as we soon learned, apparently he had done this before too…. We’re really beginning to wonder if he was ever really a Russian [...]

First Day of School!
February 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Sasha’s only been with us for about 2 months but he’s been begging to start school and has pretty much exhausted the materials we have at home for him. So this past Friday he started his first day (noon – 3PM anyway) in Pre-K. It was pretty exciting for us all.

Sasha get’s around

There’s just something about the freedom of being on two wheels…toolin’ down the sidewalk without a care in the world…. (except for when one of your training wheels malfunctions).

Sasha’s first Texas Christmas
December 27, 2007 | 1 Comment
As you can imagine Christmas was a little different this year. But not too much. Sasha was finally with us and was able to enjoy his first Texas Christmas. We toned things down a little this year so as not to completely overwhelm him. The girls were completely amazed that he actually slept in for [...]

Home again!
December 19, 2007 | 3 Comments
Well, we made it. It took us about 23 hours but we arrived safely in Dallas last night. Sasha didn’t sleep the entire trip except for the final hour of the final flight from Atlanta to Dallas. That made for a VERY long day… Nothing like chasing a hyperactive 5 year old around a 767 [...]
