Letas Sokis

Si eilerasti parase veziu serganti paaugle.

Letas sokis

Ar kada nors stebejote vaikus, Skriejancius ratu?
Ar klausetes,kaip lietusTyska i zeme?
Ar kada nors grozejotes drugelio sokiu?
Ar ziurejote i saule, besislepiancia uz horizonto?

Sustokite.
Nesokite taip greitai.
Laikas nelaukia.Muzika negros be galo.

Ar kasdien lekiate visa savo diena Nesustodami?
Ar paklausiate: "Kaip gyveni?", Ar girdite atsaka?
Kai prabega diena, Ar gulite lovoje, Ir jusu galvoje skrieja Dar kitas simtas laukianciu darbu?

Sustokite.
Nesokite taip greitai.
Laikas nelaukia.Muzika negros be galo.

Ar nesakydavote vaikui:"Padarysime tai rytoj?"
Ir skubedami nepastebejote jo skausmo?
Ar nenutraukete rysiu, Leidote graziai draugystei uzgesti, Nes niekada neturejote laiko Paskambinti ir pasakyti:"Sveikas!"

Sustokite.
Nesokite taip greitai.
Laikas nelaukia.
Muzika negros be galo.

Kai begate taip greitai,Kad kazkur suspetumete,
Prarandate puse to kelio dziaugsmo,
Kai pergyvenate ir skubate gyventi savo diena,
Tai - kaip neispakuota dovana...Ismesta.
Gyvenimas - ne lenktynes.

Sustokite,
Isgirskite muzika,
Kol nesibaige daina.

They are best buddies!

Before we got married we got a boxer puppy and named her Maddie. Oh, boy how much attention she used to get, how many pictures we took of her. All that changed when we had a baby. We still LOVE Maddie but now Ruta got the center of our attention. Pretty normal, right?...

When Ruta was a newborn I worried about Maddie accidentally hurting her.

Now they are just really good buddies.

My Niece Laura

This is my niece Laura. She, her sister and her parents has been living in US for the last 5 years. From my trip to Lithuania I brought back her baby jacket. It made me to realise even more how much she grew up over those last years in here. She is not my little niece anymore, she is a teenager who is taller than me now.

Words

Ruta's first words (all in Lithuanian language so far):

1. tete (daddy)


2. mama (only when she really, really needs mama)


3. pupa (means little bean, I call her "Pupa")


4. kaka (potty)


5. au, au (for the dog)


6. she used to say fish before we left for Lithuania too..

Pupa babbles a lot and we hope she will start talking in both languages at the same time.

Halloween 2007

Happy Halloween!

Ruta was a Strawberry Fairy this year and we went to her first reall trick or treat around the neighborhood. Looks that she loved it all: going from door to door, carrying pumkin basket, all the kids running around and even her outfit. It was funny watching how she did not know what to do once the people at the door would offer to take some candy from the basket. At the end she figured it out...
