introduction

Welcome to my little piece of the blogosphere. I started this blog while we were adopting our daughter as a way to keep faraway family and friends up-to-date on the progress. Over the years it has morphed into more of a journal of life in our house . . . as seen through the eyes of a Canadian suburbanite living in a small village in mid-western Finland. Check out the pages above for more info on us, as well as our adoption, and it would please me well if you left a comment to say hello!

a couple hours in the pit

The ball pit, that is.

I took the youngest 3 to a playground-climbing-fun-house-type-thingy today. Our first time at one in Finland.

P2230018

It was 65km away.

P2230024

We got there about 20 minutes after it opened, and it was b-u-s-y. It got even busier during the 2 hours we were there. I guess everyone had the same idea as us.

P2230025

Stefan’s sister-in-law and here family showed up a few minutes after us. Completely coincidentally.

The kids had a sweaty blast, and that was the whole point.

Happy Monday!

PS. Looking at the pictures you can’t tell how busy it was, so you’ll have to trust me on that one.

PPS. Sorry for the crummy quality of the photos . . . . I forgot to take my camera, but found the old one in the glove compartment. And, there’s no editing because I can’t figure out the new stuff I have on my computer since I got it back.

St. Petersburg

Saint Petersburg: Sankt-Peterburg, Russian pronunciation: is a city and a federal subject of Russia located on the Neva River at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. The city's other names were Petrograd (1914–1924) and Leningrad (1924–1991). Founded by Tsar Peter I of Russia on 27 May, 1703, it was the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years (1713–1728, 1732–1918). Saint Petersburg is home to more than two hundred museums, many of them hosted in historic buildings. The largest of the museums is the Hermitage Museum, featuring interiors of the former imperial residence and a vast collection of art. Celebrating the 300th anniversary of its foundation, Saint Petersburg was selected as the main motif in a recent Finnish commemorative coin, the €10 Mannerheim and Saint Petersburg commemorative coin, minted in 2003. The reverse of the coin features a view of Saint Petersburg, with the Peter and Paul Fortress and its three turrets. In the coin the words "St. Petersburg 1703-2003" can be seen.
