Meanwhile

I have to admit that I've been very bad at keeping my New Year's promises. Good news is that it will be very easy to make next year's promises, as I can keep promising same things and don't have to think out anything new :).
Why I haven't been writing meanwhile? For 3 main reasons. Firstly, I've been just too lazy. Secondly, I've been too busy with moving and everything related to it. And thirdly, I've been feeling too sick to write anything, and feeling sick for almost 3 months by turn - that's no joke.
What has happened meanwhile? From above you can already guess that we have finally moved to the house. I have to admit that it's quite nice, and I like it here. Except for the fact that we still do not have any kitchen. Well, to be honest we have something temporary with small electric stove with 2 places and we even organized some sink. But that's no proper kitchen. There is no oven, and I miss apple cake... and plum cake, ... and cowberry (brūkleņu or pohla) cake, ... and actually any kind of home-made cake. However, finally we have managed to make an order for kitchen, and it is supposed to be installed in the first week of the December. OK, we have allowed for some small delay (but don't tell that to the kitchen company), and we very-very much hope that kitchen will be in place for Christmas.
Many friends have asked to send pictures of our home. But no-no-no, my dears, I'm not going to send you any pictures of our home. Because you have to come and see it for yourself! :)
What else has happened? Hanna has turned out to be so excellent child and has tricked us that all small babies should be like that. Therefore we are crazy enough and are waiting for another one. This is the reason for feeling sick for almost 3 months. But now it's over, and I'm able to write again. Getting big again luckily does not disturb writting.

I decided that I cannot be so cruel and not show you any picture at all. Instead of our house picture, here is one photo that I wanted to post already long time ago because I somehow like it. It's taken in early spring this year. That day we decided to go and search the place where our famous bronze soldier Aljosha was brought to. The place was very nice and very fitting, in my opinion. As you can see, Aljosha is doing well and is not forgotten.
