Marina, Andrei, and Gabriel combine forces daily to send Liz and Hector into painful fits of laughter.
Gabe LOVES his Papa's ushanka!
Andrei's martial arts skills are coming along nicely.
The guy in white is Mr. Spellious, who teaches Marina & Andrei's pre-taekwondo class, Little Tigers. Each has earned a claw to signify the acquisition of a martial skill (kicks, in both cases). They love the classes so much that I put a Pretend Dojang in the basement. (It has to be pretend because Marina always wants to get a new claw each time we work out down there. She's a goal-driven young lady. It can't be too pretend, though, because Andrei would run headlong into the furnace if he didn't take the place somewhat seriously.)
