http://matchek.fotopages.com/ I turned 30 ... some shit happened, so I got really tired of life in New York ("chasing the $" - I felt like I didn't accomplish much in life that counts) ... so I decided to take a break from reality & travel to Europe. Here's my daily picture journal of my adventures. So far I've been to 19 cities: Leipzig, Chemnitz, Munich, Florence, Rome, Nappie, Capri (an island), Venice, Vienna, Cieszyn, Brno, Prague, London, Paris, San Sebastian, Lisbon, Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona / back to SAN SEBASTIAN. Allthough the Euro adventure is over & I'm 31 allready - I decided to continue this page & added my motorcycle adventures to allready big collection of "interesting" pictures.

And are learninig slowely which cry means what :) we're giving in & at night Nikita gets formula, to make her sleep better (& us). you also know you ARE a parent when your kid's pooping doesn't smell to you ... we've also been able to give Kai her first bath ... & she seems to like it, but is VERY slippery ... :) grandma Max had to leave town & both grand parents are calling in every day to check on our little Kai & finally, I had my 1st father's day .... it was kinda strange to get used to the idea, but i received few cards & one from my .... doughter ... :0. http://matchek.fotopages.com/?entry=1585235 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT in the last min spirit, we've invided some friends who haven't seen Kai yet & threw a little bbq chef maciek made some decent ribs after 2nd try at the grill fireing & everyone enjoyed themselfs http://matchek.fotopages.com/?entry=1565351 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT on to the 2nd week of young life, Kai was hangin w/ grand parents Yokley.

(after bit of persuading from daddy) Kai Nikita Gregorski where does Kai come from .... in my opinion edith just shortened original s-kai-ler, but it actually has some cool meanings in different cultures: # Kai is a Polynesian and Hawaiian word/name meaning "big water", "the ocean", "the sea"; Makai means "towards big water". # In Welsh and Scandinavian cultures, Kai means "keeper of the keys; earth". # Kai in the Navajo language means "willow tree". # In Burmese, Kai means "strong", or "unbreakable". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai_(name)(wiki) http://matchek.fotopages.com/?entry=1550913 Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT edith still hasn't chosen the name .... & doctors are keeping my babies in the hospital 'till monday :(, but we've had lots of visitors today: ken, david, samir, rodzice i grand grandma http://matchek.fotopages.com/?entry=1550902 Sun, 18 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
