"mo-mo"

... is a mutated form of "monkey" which became our pet name for abby after she passed the "krotik" stage (if you don't know that russian word, i'm not gonna bother explaining it).  she is just over a year old now.  i figured it was about time to put up some pics of her and time to post in general..... sorry.  i've been traveling for what feels like all month to different cities and countries for reasons as varied as a being in a wedding, buying curry paste (okay, so i also did my required ukrainian registration on that trip.  i was blessed to have some sweet travelling-buddy-time with my bro, nato.  thanks dude!), and MMR vaccinations.  i'm leaving tomorrow to go up to kiev for a 3-day leadership conference that the calvarys here are doing and next weekend to teach at the church in poltava that sunday.  so PRAY FOR MY WIFE! as she is with our sweet lil ankle-biter all by her self.  here's some pics of abby.  they're from a little post-bday celebration we had with a couple from our church.
