Susie's visit and Cox Farms

The kids had a great time with their Great Aunt Susie in the past couple of days. And they were sad to say good bye.

And today we visited Cox farms. The kids had so much fun and we didn't even have enough time to try all the rides and activities. Kira and Aaron fell asleep instantly tonight.
Here are the pictures

Scarlatina

4 days ago Kira was running high fever for 3 days. At the end she broke out in rash. I took her to the doctor and it turned out she had strep throat. She was put on antibiotic but the next day I noticed her rash became worse and covered more areas on her body. I took her back to a pediatrician thinking it might be an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, and she was diagnosed with scarlatina.

A week in Pittsburgh

Last week I and the kids spent time in Evans City with the cousins and Seriy and Jules. We also got to celebrate Nikolai's Birthday with him. Pictures will say more than words, I think:)

The kids were always on the go, at least one of them. So this is the only good picture of all four of them sitting still, watching TV.

Pictures are here.
