Where's Grandma?

Where's Grandma?





For the past 3 weeks Tamara has been helping Mommy & Daddy tend to my parents gardens and house. For those who know my mother ..you know she has an incredible green thumb when it comes to plants. The amazing thing is that even in her absence they thrive.

Below are some pictures for your enjoyment of her garden.

Tamara looks for Grandma & Grandpa at every house sitting visit.. pretty cute.


Pretty flowers...

Took a lot of self control not to pick any.

What are these things?

Tomato anyone? Jersey tomatoes are supposed to be some of the world's finest...
Did you know that?

Tamara waiting for Daddy... time to feed the fish Daddy.



Flowers every where...

the sky is the limit.

pretty pretty
cool shot..no?

OK after our house run we decided to stop by my brothers. He, Olga and the kids returned from Croatia on Saturday... Oh yeah.. these pictures are from Sunday.. oops.. sorry..lol
They had a wonderful time and after the normal 15 minute warm up Tamara was playing with her cousins again.
Time for the Hallway races to begin...

Cousin Katie counts...ONE....
TWO...

Three!!!


Tamara loves to run and her muscle tone / mass has improved so much in the past 2 months.


Cousins Nicky and Katie showing Tamara how their video games work. OK.. I should know what these things are called ..but I don't...lol. Olga help me out here... what are these things?

Tamara & Katie
A fun visit. It's nice to have them state side again. It was fun hearing all the stories about their trip. Cousin Martina's wedding .. which I hear was amazing. And catching up on all the family gossip from the old country.

One plane down.. one to go.. Grandma & Grandpa will be back shortly. ;o)

Monday we took Tamara to the NJ state fair at the Sussex Fair grounds. A fun event. Tamara once again people watched the whole time. She drank fresh fruit smoothies, ate chicken fries.. chicken fries.. who knew?



Tamara.. loves horses.. she's fascinated by them where ever we go.
She looks like Elton John here doesn't she? My girl loves her glasses.. too cute.

OK.. I don't get it.. ever since I told her where milk comes from ... she drinks it?

Tamara... a cow... can you say cow? Moo... moo .. for those of you in California that would be Oom...Oom ;o)

Today... Wednesday we took her to the Doctors again. This time to get her Chicken Pox vaccine. The only one she needed. Everything else is perfect so far. We also are doing a TB skin test.. not required but a good idea to double check. The Embassy Dr. in Tbilisi did check and he was confident that she was fine. We got a copy of her test results today. It's kind of weird we have more information about her body then our own. Also having some genetic testing done. The preliminary results are perfect. The extensive results will arrive in 2 weeks. This should make up for the lack of family medical history in the future. Oh yes.. she now weighs 29 lbs.

Tamara was a trooper at the Dr's. office. Yes she cried when 3 people held her down so she could get her chicken pox shot in her thigh.. but wouldn't you if 3 people held you down? As soon as it was over she was fine. Waving bye bye to the nurse and then blowing kisses on her way out.

That's my girl ... I think Daddy might have promised her a pony?
