a picture update...

i thought i'd take a minute to share some cute pictures i took recently...

here's one of lee in his russian winter hat (it looks like a corduroy ball cap with furry flaps on the side)... you'll get a better look at the cap later on...

if you didn't already know it... nershi's a bit of a show-off... when he wants to be...

aaaand... we also have those days where we'd rather run and hide.

and yes, he liked the movie "hangover"...seriously, who didn't like that movie?
have you seen the insurance commercial where the dog is so worried about his bone? well, its one of my favorites... and so is this picture... nershi sleeping with his paw on the bone...

my pretty boy...
here's a better glimpse of the hat i mentioned earlier... this is lee's "putting a square in a circle" dance... perhaps a video would be too much to post here on the blog-- we try to keep it family-friendly... haha

that's about it for now... i've given up on decorating the tree for this year--we will enjoy it with just the lights... but i'm OFFICIALLY done christmas shopping for the third time... ahh!! and i was able to do lots of baking... and now i'm procrastinating cleaning by sharing these lovely pictures with all of my faithful readers :)
