Our "daughter" Sveta from Zaporozhye in the Ukraine

Here you can see that Sveta can be

daring as she swings from the high rope into Lake Conconully, with Mom looking on yelling "Let go of the rope!"

as well as

elegant, with Russ at the West Seattle High School, "L'Hiver des Merveilles"

Here is Mom, Sveta, Ally, and Ally's mom, Beth, back at Whiski Jack after a day skiing at Whistler.

And here is Sveta and Mom by our Christmas tree.
