Monday Monday

Mondays are easy days easing into a busy week.  owen and I play all morning and then he naps for a while and then plays some more.  The most difficult thing on Mondays is my Russian lesson.  It is an hour and a half long.  That is about an hour and a half too long.  It does not take long for my brain to be taxed.  I am picking up conversation but I can tell you that unless somebody asks me my name I will not be able to answer them.  This is a very tough language.  Not to mention my brain is apparently against learning.  And I sure don't have any discipline to actually do the homework and study.  I am glad I am not taking a test in Russian.  I think Owen will pick it up way before I do.  I am working on numbers and hello and goodbye with him.  But did I mention I am also teaching him the basics with Spanish.  You know start them early.  :)  Of course maybe I should give him a little bit of a break, he is only 9 months old.  

He is becoming very independent.  Feeding himself the bottle and finger foods.  He loves to grab the computer and do everything he is not supposed to do.  

I guess I will go ahead and write about today, Tuesday.  I am not sure which days to write about since everybody reads this much earlier than me.  Today I went to Bible Study.  We are studying 1 Peter.  A great book.  I am amazed at Bible Study to see all the nationalities together to study the Lord's word.  It is quite a trek to the apartment that it is held at.  You take the metro and switch colors and then walk for about 15 minutes.  Metro green line (where I live) is fine it is the red line that I switch to that is not so great.  There are way too many people on it.  You are crammed in so much that you sway together as the tram moves.  Not to mention a woman stepped on my foot today with her spiky boots.  And then she gave me a bad look when I bumped into her.  Because I can control that!  Walking 15 minutes is not bad it is the fact that soon I know this will be the artic tundra and then the walk will be bad.   I remind myself that Bible Study is worth any obstacles to get there.  And today I met a friend that lives near me so we will be able to hold each other accountable.  

After Bible Study I come home and play with Owen.  It is some more play hard and nap hard time.  More him crawling away and me chasing after him.  We are both getting a good workout.  He is now getting into dancing.  It is quite a fun site to watch.  It is amazing that no matter how you feel, who you miss, or what you have done in the day one look at him and your heart is elated.  Oh how I love him!  Even when he keeps trying to help me type this post :)
