What a busy weekend it's been! In addition to Claire visiting us, last week Ivan's brother, Alexey, and his girlfriend came to visit us and then on Saturday Ivan's friend, Andrei, arrived. This is the most people we've had staying with us in all 5 years of our marriage! Andrei and Alexey and sleeping in the gym (aka Ivan's office) while the gals are sleeping in Susan's office. It's worked out pretty well so far. Andrei is leaving on Tuesday to go to the Shepherd's Conference in California and the rest of the guests are staying another week or so.

For the most part, Alexey and his girlfriend keep themselves occupied with the typical touristy things during the day, so Claire and I get to hang out, run errands, play games, etc. With Claire's help, we've managed to buy some frames and hang some pictures and art that I've been meaning to hang ever since we moved here 6 months ago!

Hurrah for sisters :)

Oh, and here's a photo of the Russian chocolate that Ivan's brother brought us from Russia!
