We are settling into a routine. Thought you might want to see some highlights of the last month or so.

Easter Pictures
I didn't get a lot of pictures, but here is what I have to document the occasion. We dyed 36 eggs on Saturday night after Hanna went to bed. It was a really good time. Oleg turned it into a competition to see who could fill their 18 egg carton first.
About 30 min before we needed to be at church on Sunday, we were hunting eggs in the backyard. That never lasts long, so I was lucky to get any pictures at all. I think we have a video, too, so when I find it, I'll add it to this post.
Unfortunately, I did not get a family picture or even a picture of all the kids together. Everyone looked so good! You'll just have to imagine it.

First trip to Dentist
Well, our first trip to the dentist was eventful to say the least. Vivian had her last 2 baby teeth removed. Oleg, Lena and Hanna had their first cleanings and exams. Don't know anything about their dental care before, so we're considering this their first time. All of them did great and earned high praises from the staff for their behavior and cooperation.
Oleg is totally healthy. All he needs is sealants on his back teeth - like any other child his age. He does have some residual black spots on his teeth, but the dentist says they will come off over time. After his appointment, he played some video games waiting for the rest of us to finish.
Lena is another matter. Her mouth is riddled with cavities. One is so bad, they are considering a root canal. She will have to be sedated to get all the work done, so this is no simple procedure. She also may have to have oral surgery at some point in the future (a couple of years maybe) to remove a growth. It is possible that as her mouth grows and changes the dentist will be able to do it, but it is more likely to be an oral surgeon.
Hanna also has several cavities. And again, one is so bad they are considering root canal. Unfortunately, she is so little that her procedure will have to be done at the Children's Hospital. If she weighed more than 25lbs, they could do it in the office.
Will be scheduling as soon as we can.

Making Pizza with Lena
As promised, video of Lena and me making pizza.
This was also Hanna's first experience with pizza. The pictures did not turn out well, so I didn't post them.
