The Kids

Timothy, doing his homework
Sonja ?

Daniel. He has had a lot of basketball games and practice the past few weeks so it was not unusually to find him asleep.

Sonja Basketball.

Both Sonja and Daniel have been playing basketball this winter. Here are a few pictures of Sonja playing and her team. I don't have any photos of Daniel playing yet, but I will put some on as soon as I have them.

Snowed In

Over the last six weeks we have got a lot of snow, I am not sure if it is more than other years, but it does seem like it. With all this snow, if you leave you car sit too long they tend to get snowed in. Here are a few cars by our building that have not moved for a while! The photos below these are of the play ground outside our windows, below the round red roof is a sand box, the snow is almost up to the swing seats and the end of the slides disappear into the snow. Hopefully only another 4 - 6 weeks and this will all be gone.

Russia also lies in the penumbra's path. Residents of St. Petersburg and Moscow would witness a large magnitude partial eclipse at around noon local time (09:00 GMT) - magnitude 0.846 and 0.812 (81%) respectively - if the skies are clear.
