She is a very good girl today, she had an exam in a musical school today (piano) and got a highest possible score - 5. Parents are very satisfied and she too.

Она сегодня очень хорошая девочка! У нее был екзамен по фортепиано в музыкальной школе и она получила пятерку. Родители очень довольны и она тоже :-)

Day 279, November 28, Evening shopping

That was a late evening when daughter discovered that she urgently needs a new exercise book for her school for tomorrow. So we drove to a nearest mall to find one, she took her sister with her for a company. And we were back not only with couple of exercise books but also with couple of DVD for kids and two bars of chocolate.

Старшая дочь вечеро вспомнила, что ей срочно нужна новая тетрадка к завтрашнему уроку в школе. Поехали в ближайший супермаркет. Она взяла ствою сестру за компанию. Вернулись с тетрадками, мультиками и шоколадом :-)

Day 277, November 26, Moscow-City at night

It's a little bit shaky shot, this is visible. Exposure is only 1/6 sec. Need to be there someday with a tripod.

Кадр получился с шевеленкой, выдержка не очень короткая, всего 1/6 секунды. Надо будет как нибудь сюда приехать со штативом.

Day 276, November 25, Out of focus


Day 276, Out of focus, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.
Actually I was shooting her sister and Ksenia was just passing by and that's why she has got accidentally focused, but I think I like that shot. Decided not to delete it with only her twirl in a focus.

Вообще то я фотографировал ее сестру, а Ксюша проходила мимо и случайно попала в кадр, и так же и фокус получился случайным, на ее завитушке. Но мне как то теперь нравится этот снимок, и я решил его не удалять. :-)

Day 274, November 23, Two phones


Day 274, Two phones, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

I decided to change my mobile right before my birthday, so when my dear wife asked me what I want for my birthday, I have told her that I want a new mobile phone. She asked about a model and my imagination let me down, I told her that I want the same phone she has. So, it could look stupid, but now we have similar phones, but different colors :-)

Day 262, November 11, Passports collection

For visa application form we with my wife Veronica needed to mention countries we were visited for the past 10 years, so we took all our passports to check countries and dates. Indian visa office was surprisingly convenient. In the center of Moscow, in a business offices building. Efficient, convenient and not crowded. Very positive impression!

Для того что бы заполнить анкету для индийской визы, нам нужно было упомянуть все страны, в которых мы побывали за последние 10 дней. Поэтому мы с Вероникой нашли все наши паспорта, что бы освежить свою память. Индийский виза центр положительно поразил нас. В центре города, в бизнес центре. Удобно, комфортно и быстро, очень предупредительный и вежливый персонал. Все мероприятие заняло от силы 15 минут. на следующей неделе поедем за готовыми визами.

Day 254, November 3, relaxing in a sport club

Ksenia is in a kid's play room in a sport club were we are going, all of us. So my wife brought kids here at 5 pm, had her exercises, got back home and then I drove back to a sport club around 8:30 pm, to get kids home. Older daughter had today dancing and swimming classes here, younger daughter was trying to do some hand made toys and had also sport games class for small kids. Unfortunately I was not able to exercise that day myself, still not fully recovered from a cough I had for the past four days.

Ксюша в детской игрово комнате в спорт клубе. В таком положении я ее застал, когда приехал забрать ее и Настю домой. Жена привезла детей в клуб в пять вечера, позанималась там и уехала домой, а я поехал к половине девятого забрать оттуда детей. У старшей были танцы, а потом занятия в бассейне. Младшая занималась каким то рукоделием и были спортивные игры для младших детей. Я к сожалению не смог сегодня сам позаниматься, уже четвертый день мучает кашель, но вроде уже иду на поправку ))

Day 253, November 2, kids dancing


Day 253, kids dancing, originally uploaded by Andrey Dorokhov.

That was a kids gala day, called "Harvest" in kindergarten. Parents were an appreciative audience. That was a lot of fun to watch that! Kids were dancing at the end and with a last chord of music hugging each other ))

Это был детский праздник в саду, который назывался Урожай. Родители были зрителями. Танцы, стихи, хороводы, песни ... очень было забавно все это смотреть. В конце дети танцевали по парам и с последними аккордами музыки обняли друг друга.
