Hi Fanni and Matyi,
I took photos of our neighbourhood, as you asked me. This is the side entrance of our building.

This is the backside of our building.

These are the footprints of squirrels next to our building. They always play and have fun there even if it's too cold. They ran all around chasing each other, then dig holes to find what they put there in autumn. They are very cute.

This is the library sign. I like this library, because it's a fun place and it has lots of great books and DVD-s which I like and can take them home.

And this the library itself.

Here is how I made the snowangel:)

And here is my snowangel for you Fanni and Matyi!!!

Hugs, Areg

RE: My Photos

Dear Areg!

We like your photos, that you uploaded to the blog very much, indeed! You are very good. You seam to be on a good track to become a real photo reporter.

As a next step, I would like to give you some task to practice taking pictures. If you have the mood, ask Mummy to go out a little bit and take some pictures of your neighborhood.

Fanni and Me, we would be very much interested in your neighborhood, how does it look like. So go out and take some pictures of your building, the entrance, your window from outside, etc. It would be also very interesting for us, to have some pictures of something that you like around your building. Maybe a tree, or a car, or an other building. Think of something and take the picture of it.

We are looking forward to see the pictures!

Fanni & Matyi

Dear Fanni and Matyi,

Here is my own picture which I shot by myself. Do you like it? And here is the photo of the plane which you've sent me for Christmas. Thank you again. Me and my daddy assembled it and I have taken its photo of it for you. How do you like it?

Hugs and kisses, Areg

Sudoku game

Dear Matyi,

I know Sudoku and I like it. It's a very interesting numbers' game. Thank you for posting a sudoku game for me in our blog. I solved it. Here is the picture:

Dear Areg,

It has already been almost two weeks since we have talked on Skype after the New Years Eve. So it is time for a new blog post. Since I have seen that you are already a big boy, with own camera, going to school and to ice skating trainings, lets try something more difficult game.

On the New Years Eve party we spent our time together with lots of friends, and just like Mummy and Daddy, we also had some fun games. One of them was Sudoku competition. I was the second fastest to solve the Sudoku, which was a real success, because there were some real experts among our friends. Because of this, we have become funs of Sudoku, and on the way back to Skopje, we did our own competition of Sudoku with Fanni. And guess what, she won against me!

Now it is your turn! Have you ever heard about Sudoku? It is not so complicated, I'm sure that such a clever boy like you will manage to solve it. This is a 4x4 Sudoku, for clever boys, like you.

First of all, you have to know the numbers from 1 to 4. I am sure that you know them all, but maybe a quick reply with Mummy would be helpful.

The Sudoku game itself is about to place numbers like a puzzle into a square, that contains 16 boxes. You have to fill in the boxes using the numbers 1 to 4. But be careful, there is only one right solution for each and every box. You have to find which number fits which box. The key rule is that every row and column and every group of 4 boxes inside the thicker lines must contain each number only once.

Are you ready?

Here you are:

One hint, in case you would have troubles to start it: You should start with the first column on the left. This column already includes "1" and "2". Therefore the box, right above the nr. "2" should include either "3" or "4". However if you check the row, which includes this box, you will see, that it already has a nr "3". If you remember the rule that every row and column must contain each number only once, you will find out, that this box can only contain nr "4". You have to do similar steps to continue.

I hope you will enjoy the game, and I'm looking forward to see the solution.

Cheers,

Matyi
