Home again, home again, jiggity jig

We have, of course, been come for a week or so now, but haven't been as conscientious about taking pictures as we were when we were foreign tourists.   Here are a few pictures, though:

Posing with a handpuppet monster.

The shirt reads "I love shopping" in Russian.
"Shopping" is even phonetic.

Playing with a complex marble toy in her room.
(Thanks to Liam and Madeleine for the toy!)
Teresa's showing Elena how it's done
(or possibly the other way around).

Modeling mom's shoes with dad's hat and mom's hat.

There's no such thing as too much accessorization.

(She did this herself, by the way--no prepping or suggestions.)
