Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Uncle John, Happy Birthday to you!! Norah’s a lucky girl to have such a wise Uncle with 7 decades under his belt! Sounds like you had a wonderful party in Norwich-wish we could have been there to celebrate with all of you.
Norah is mostly making “ah, ah, ah” sounds we haven’t heard bah, bah yet-but with her only being exposed to Russian, I’m thinking her first sounds may be a bit different. We have tested her hearing-it seems to be very good. She follows all noises, and soft voices, she is extremely alert and hyper-vigilant. She seems to enjoy standing or laying on her tummy-she doesn’t seem to like lap sitting or back laying positions for long.
Jenn, you asked about how to say you’re welcome, it’s: “N’YEH za ch’ta”. Greetings is “ZDRAHST-vweet’yeh”. I love hearing the language it has a romantic, covert spy sound to it. The Russian language has a totally different alphabet then ours-so I’m typing words phonetically for you-with help from our Russian dictionary…you know if I did it on my own we’d be off in left field! We’ll attach some pictures of food-may things are served in beautiful little ceramic pots.
Larry is getting all packed up as I type this he leaves tomorrow morning after we see Norah-we’re going to miss him. Even though we only have 1 ½ hours with Norah each day, it’s wonderful to have both of us there to be a team with her care.
I was thinking, maybe this year for Christmas, instead of exchanging presents we could all pitch in and send some things to the Orphanage in Norah’s honor. One item they would benefit from is an activity play saucer. I haven’t seen anything like that here –and it would be wonderful for the babies.

Good morning from Oswego,
It's a beautiful sunny day here much like your weather every day.
Our temp is 69* headed for 88*.
Uncle John definitely enjoyed his birthday celebration in Norwich on Thurs. Last night we had pizza as well as cake at Mary Louise and Don's with U.J."s nephew David and his family from Mass. His daughter Abigail is a year old. What a beauty, just like your/our Norah!
This afternoon we're going to Fort Ontario to do alittle site seeing.
We did that often Christy when you were small. We'll be near Lake Ontario,see the lighthouse and look for Great Lake freighters. You know,Oswego highlites. Probably go to Rudy's too. We can't wait to do these things with Norah and her Mom and Dad.
You food pictures were very interesting,the serving pots look beautiful. A new idea for chef Larry?
We look forward to your blogs. You make us feel like we are right there with you. Sure wish we could all take turns visiting you while Larry is in Pa.
Our hugs and love are coming your way. Love you so very much,A.S.

Hi I'm in your house! I LOVE it!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I love all of the colors you have chosen. You really should be an interior designer Christy!
Norah's room is soooooo cute!!!! What a lucky little girl. So loved and waited for. By everyone.
We will pick up Larry monday at the airport. Meet you at baggage claim Larry, you may have already left. We can call him.
Thank you for letting us stay here while you are away. Wish you were all here.
Love the idea about Christmas. Miss you so much, be safe, hugs and kisses to my new niece! Love you, Deb
Thanks for sharing the photos of food - the presentation looks interesting, glad it tastes good!
The translation of Russian words is even interesting to read - I think we will need you guys to give us some actual speaking lessons when you get back!
Hope that you and Norah are both feeling better physically, although I'm sure you are both sad to see Daddy leave to come back to work..We will be in touch often to check on you and will of course rely on the blog to keep us updated on your daily visits!
Hope to talk to you soon! Always remember how much you are loved!
Love,
ifer
