Hi all!
So I came to Russia!

Hello Mom!
Today we take a walk around Moscow. The city is very hot. We walked down the street and looked at different buildings. Triss pokazla we Bolshoi Theatre, the hotel "Metropol" and hotel "Natsiolal."

Hello Mom!
Today we walked to the Manege Square and Red Square. With the Manege Square overlooking the State Duma - the lower house of the Federal Assembly - Parliament of the Russian Federation.
At the Manege Square many fountains. One of them is in the form of a map of Russia and the clock moving. With the Manege Square, we went down to the Eternal Flame and the famous Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin walls.
At the Red Square was the construction of the cadet corps, which we have seen.

Hello!
Today we were walking in a big company Tsaritsyno.
Tsaritsyno palace and park ensemble, covering an area of ​​100 hectares, is located on hilly terrain crossed by ravines, in place of the former estate of princes Kantemirov and inherited some of its features.  Tsaritsano is the most important monument of the so-called "Russian Gothic" (pseudo-) on the establishment of a royal residence for over 20 years experience in a series of two of the most famous architect of his era - Vasily Bazhenov and Matvei Kazakov. Tsaritsyno - the largest in Europe, the pseudo-Gothic building of the XVIII century, and only the palace complex, designed in this style. 
I really liked the Palace and the Church ...

Hi all!
Today, I was near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Temple - the largest in the Russian Church. Designed for 10,000 people.
The original church was erected in memory of the Napoleonic invasion, "the preservation of the eternal memory of that unprecedented effort, loyalty and love for Faith and Fatherland, however in these hard times extolled the Russian people themselves, and to mark our gratitude to Divine Providence for saving Russia from threatening her to death "[1]. It was built by architect Konstantin Ton. Construction lasted nearly 44 years: the church was laid September 23, 1839, consecrated - May 26, 1883.
December 5, 1931 the church building was destroyed. Rebuilt in the same place in 1994-1997.

Now Temple has become particularly well known in connection with the case of the four girls who call themselves the punk band "Pussy Riot". February 21, they wore masks, and sang a song at the altar of political content. Now the court passes over them.

Hello!
Today Triss showed one of the most interesting of the Moscow metro stations.
Station "Revolution Square" opened March 13, 1938. The station is the work of the architect Dushkin and has the status of the identified cultural heritage site. The name has the same name space (up to 1918 it bore the name of the Resurrection).
The decoration of the station used the black marble of the Armenian "davalu", combined with white, gray and golden marble of other breeds. The station hall is illuminated by two rows of round chandeliers-flat "plates".
Narrow passages between the base of the pylons are decorated in a steep semi-cylindrical arches, resting on low broad pedestals. On these pedestals 76 bronze sculptures depicting the Soviet people. All figures (except for figures of pioneers) in order to fit in a limited volume of the vaulted archway, depicted either embarked on his knee, or bending over, or sitting. In this regard, said that the statue represents the image of the Soviet people - "it's all or sitting, or kneeling"

Hello!

Hei!

I'm so exited, because I got an invitation from USA! Wow!
When I told this to other toys, especially Hunny was very exited, too, because I'm going to visit Hunny's mom!!!   

But before leaving here, I wanted to see my hometown Jyväskylä by night, because it is the City of Light!  Can you believe there's more than 70 illuminated sites to admire in Jyväskylä?

At first, we went to see the bridge of Kuokkala.





And then we visited in the harbour.



And before going back home, we visited the Church Park.



Hugs,
Amie

Hello!

I finally made it to the USA!  I am so happy to get out of my envelope and stretch my legs!

The first thing I saw when I was opened was this beautiful sunset!  I really love all the pink!



After enjoying the sunset, I went inside to meet my new friends.  They were all very happy to share my chocolate bar with me.



I hope we can share some wonderful adventures while I am here!

Kisses to you and Jeppe-cat!
Amie

Today we took a car ride to Duluth.  We didn't get to spend much time there, but we did stop by the beach.

The big lake behind me is Lake Superior.  It's so big that we couldn't see the other side!





Missing you!
Amie

Fall is here and the leaves are starting to change colors!  It's so exciting!  The weather is changing too.  Winter is coming, I can feel it in the cold breeze that blows.

These leaves are just starting to turn yellow.



Check out these red leaves I found!  This tree has berries too, but I don't think they are safe to eat.



So many leaves are already on the ground.  I made a pile and jumped in! 



Lots of Love!
Amie

Today we took a walk by Lake Harriet.  The weather is chilly, but it was still a beautiful morning.  The lake is so blue!



On our walk, I found a very interesting tree with a little door.  It looked just my size.  This is the house of Mr. Little Guy, an elf that lives here in the Summer.  You can leave letters for him, and he will answer.

I knocked on the door, but then I noticed a sign.  It says that he has moved from this cabin to his castle for the Winter.  I guess Minnesota Winters are just too cold for him.  On the side of the tree, I could see the letters he left for his friends.



Mr. Little Guy seems like a very interesting elf, and I was sorry I couldn't meet him.

Best Wishes,
Amie

Today we took a walk in the woods.  I wanted to see all the pretty color leaves.  Down here by the river, the leaves haven't all started to change, but they are beautiful.

First I found a little stream.  I could hear lots of frogs nearby, but I couldn't find them.



This tree is in the middle of the path.  How odd!  This path was very crunchy under my feet.



This tree is a little yellow.



And this huge tree is very very yellow.  I really like it!



These red leaves are as pretty as flowers.



The sun is setting, so my friends and I need to go home.  I don't really want to be out here in the dark.



Love,
Amie

Hi Mommy!

It's getting so close to the end of October, and that means... HALLOWEEN!  I'm so excited!

Today is pumpkin carving day.  I picked out a large pumpkin and got my tools ready.



EWW... I never knew pumpkins were so slimy inside!  I have to clean all this out.



That was a lot of work, but I got it done!  Now I have to sort out the seeds from the slimy stuff.  Hostmom likes to cook them and eat them.



This is the best part.  Now I get to carve a face.  I hope it doesn't turn out too scary!



Isn't it pretty!  On Halloween night, we will put a candle in it and light it up.



I wonder what fun we will have on Halloween.
