Where we've been part 2

As promised, pictures from our time in Moscow! The first installment being pictures of Clara meeting her extended family. They were all kind enough to drive to Moscow from Spokane to see the newest baby, even though she wasn't always on her best behavior:

She was, in fact, happy in Aunt Lynn's arms for a while, but not before I remembered to crack my camera out. Here she is with cousin Kenzie:

And with Aunt Julie (who spoke her language, apparently):

And with Gran and Papa:

 

Lucy also enjoyed seeing all of her family again, and she even snuggled up to her great-Papa for a bit:

And of course, Clara spent a lot of time with her very own Papa and Nana:

I spent three of the more difficult weeks of Clara's life up in Moscow with my parents. Her stomach seemed upset most of the time, she cried a lot, and she came down with a nasty cold. Which is why I was so grateful to be up there with my parents, who tirelessly held, bounced, rocked, and sang to the little unhappy wight in attempts to keep her happy. Or, if all she needed was her momma, they entertained Lucy so that I could focus on Clara Beth. Thanks Mom and Dad! And you'll be happy to know that her digestive system seems to have evened itself out and she is a much happier child these days.
