Well, I haven't written anything for about a month now... we've been so busy, and thinking of something vaguely inspired is a chore. But finally I decided that I'd write about what's been on our minds lately... in fact, what's been on every Latvian's mind lately.... or is that just EVERYONE's mind? That is, this darn economic crisis. I am not going to reflect on the politics or the financial systems, God knows I know very little about it - but what I CAN talk about is what this crisis fells...

I realise I haven't posted anything for a while now - so as a filler here is one of my favourite pics at the moment. Matiss' and Mikus' kindergarten on an excursion to a local gallery. The kindergarten Mikus and Tiss go to is very small, only one group of around 20 kids aged from three to six. It's a very home-like environment with very loving and groovy teachers/carers, who have a great deal of respect for each child and their individual personalities. Both the boys love going to Bērnu Māja...
