this is the cadet guards that change every hour and are stationed at the perpetual flame
This is just 1/1000 of the names posted on the 50 foot tall walls that surround the memorial
This is one of the veterans who came to put flowers on the memorial
This is a group of school children who came to put flowers. The day we were there (the day before May 9) there were over 20 bus loads of kids who came to the park

This is the center statue in Victory Park, which is in commeration of the Great Patriotic War (2nd World War). Over 30 million Russians died, probably 1/2 of them were killed by Stalin.
The day is May 9 and is celebrated all over Russia with parades and in Red Square, with tanks and the Army. Here there was a huge parade down town, and then at 12:00, all the people came to this part to put flowers on all the memorials.
This is a picture of a street near our house. It is on the walk to the park. Notice the painted tires. They all have bulbs planted in them for Spring.
This is our KFC, called Rostics. And it is almost the same. We have no other fast food places.

Siberian Adventures
Bedroom/do you like the stripes
Our library
with reading room
alcove?
Our front door. We do now have a rug and of course the shoe holder to place you shoes on when you enter our apartment. By the way, the door is about 3 inches thick. You only see the wood side. There is steel on the other side.
Our infamous fish tank! It took a lot of work to siphon all of the green water out and dispose of it.
Look at all the "stuff" in the cabinet. And that is only what you can see. On the bottom is stacked 3 different sets of china. Everything included.
Our bathroom! We don't have to put our feet in the clothes washer!
The CLOTHES WASHER FROM HELL!
The view out of our kitchen window. The white area is a trafic circle. On the far side is our statue of Karl Marks. That is the name of our metro stop. Karl Marks spot.
The six feet of snow in our "back yard". Now this has turned to 6 feet of mud!
So, this is a little bit about the way we are suffering in Siberia. Other than the many apartment problems and so on, we love it. Now that Kara has taught me how to do this, I hope to get some better pictures and try to have a "real" blog, like Hayley and Kara.

New Blog
I have set up a blog for our Miller parents so that they can keep everyone up to date while they are on their mission. They have asked that all the kids be added as contributors so that everyone can post updates about their families and keep up to date with our family which is now spread out all over the place. I have sent email invitations to those of you that I have addresses for to become contributors, let me know if you need any help setting it up. I hope this will be helpful to everyone as far as keeping in contact and staying updated with everyone.
