Ukrainian Family Pictures

This post goes along with my previous blog post:)
Here are some pictures from Lviv.
My mom, Ya (yes, that's me), Katia (my cousin), Lyena (my sister).  DSCN1981
Lyena and I by the statue of Diana….I am a little under dressed.

My gorgeous mama and sister. If only I were used to wearing high heels everywhere…:)
DSCN1966
Katya and her hubby—Andriy. Men wear wedding bands on their right hand in Ukraine.

And that’s me…wearing NOT high heels and looking very much out of place and like a tourist.

And this is my sister, me and my cousin in front of our grandma’s place. Lots of memories were created sitting on top of that “fence”.

I have two cousins on my dad’s side of the family. This is one of them—Misha (Michael). He is only half a year older than Lyena.  I feel very old… (-“Do you remember that old cousin Lyana? -- Oh yeah! Her! --The one that already has three kids.-- Yes! The one that doesn’t wear high heels all the time!”)

Moving on to Kyyiv. My chubby Petrik, nephew,  and sweet Mika (sons of my cousin Katia).

Babushka Maya and I (my mom’s mom). No, not all women are blonde in Ukraine.

Group picture, of course.

Smile, Babushka Maya!:)
Miss you all!!! And hope to see you soon again.
Tsiom,
Lyana
