Stasiu's firs haircut

Stasiu no longer has his baby locks - the first haircut is a fact. He's a real big boy now and it suits him. At first he did not really know what was happening to him and was sitting still nicely, then suddenly and fortunately at the end of the session, it was over and time to take him out of the robe and chair to admire his new hairdo!

New pool!

Our neigbours Laura and Al had bought a new, big, serious pool, which they thought would fit nicely on our driveway :) And it did! It's a truly great cool-off pool and the kids love it too.

Ciocia in the USA

Cioca Elzunia from Warsaw came to visit us in Waukegan. It was great to have her over, have her meet Nina & Stasiu, go out for trips on the boat together, go to Chicago and meet our friends.

4th of July parade

And also this year we put our chairs just outside Upton Park at the end of our street, to enjoy the 4th of July parade. It was fun again. Nina particularly liked all the sweets that were handed out. She had quite a collection to take home by the end of the afternoon. But of course some had to be sampled on the spot :)
