These are the best dance moves ever! Ophelia totally got into the Sesame street credits song and I grabbed the camera.
One evening we were playing on the floor and after a tower of magnets was ruined by Ophelia, I exclaimed "OH, BLEEEEN!" , which means "oh, pancake" in Russian (it really is a true Russian word used to express frustration). She thought it was the most hilarous thing!
This past general conference weekend, we spent time with our good friends, the Mojicas. Mike's parents have a "cabin" two-and-a-half hours east of here and they invited us over. It was such a nice getaway. We went canoeing, miniature golfing, blow-up house jumping, we roasted hot dog by the firepit, while listening to PJ's guitar and singing song, PJ practiced his Spanish with Mike's grandpa, watched the new disney movie "Tangled" and ate caramel popcorn. All of that plus 8 hours of spiritually uplifting talks made for a wonderful time away from home. It seriously felt like we were there for 5+ days, but it was only 2 days. Ophelia had so much fun playing with Ashlynn and Cameron, and holding, talking to, waking up, consoling baby Maylee. Ophelia is in a stage now, where whenever she hears or sees someone cry, she exclaims "you K", which means "you are okay". Often she says it to herself as well :) Sweet girl!
The Mojica's dog came too, which Ophelia was extatic about! She pet him, playing with him, hugged him, and... gave him her food.
This is the "cabin"...now when I think of a cabin, I imagine a little hut in the woods. This "cabin" is twice as big as our house!!!! We had our own bedroom and Ophelia portacrib fit perfectly into a walk in closet :) She loved it and so did we!

This weekend made me realize that Ophelia is capable of being out of her routine and loving it. Made me want to make more little weekend trips like this one.
