Okay Denise, Vick, we know you're reading this, so don't freak out. Remember how we told you we're staying in a really nice apartment? But just that building left a little to be desired and smelled like cats?
Well THIS is what we first saw a few days ago when we walked into the apartment building we'd be staying at for the next week. Creeeeeeepy.
And this is the scary little elevator that allows us not to walk up 4 floors of feline feces.
And this is Jay showing how he felt when we first entered the building. He's only smiling on the outside...
Here's the computer room where we have internet access and Skype every night.
The cute little kitchen - see the teeny washing machine?
The TV room - complete with lounging Papa.
The bedroom - see? Looks like my bedroom at home, Mom! : ) Life's tough living out of suitcases.

But....thank Goodness that when we actually walked into the apartment we found it to be very secure, safe, and inside - really nice!

Despite it's shocking first impressions, this apartment has turned out to be a gem for us. It's very affordable, in a nice part of the city, just blocks from our translator in case of an emergency, and has lots to do nearby. The kiddos will stay here with us for two nights before we head to Moscow. We will definitely need to do a little cleaning and rearranging before they arrive, but this has been much nicer than staying in a hotel.

Um, wow, it was nice of someone to write "blood" for you in English rather than Russian so you could be appropriately freaked out!
Super nice place you guys have. I can't wait to see it with 3 kids running around in there :)
This was our experience in Siberia as well. The apartment was so scary on the outside we didn't take pictures, we had no choice and didn't want to remember that part. The inside, however, was a completely different story! We stayed there 3 weeks, I did many loads of laundry in the kitchen washing machine. Hang in, you're almost at the finish line with getting the kids,
