I was wondering where you'd been, too. Too bad you couldn't have timed your vacation over the disgusting easter week when it rained non-stop, but I'm thrilled to hear you had such a great vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-349008 Fri, 13 May 2011 09:27:52 +0000 Ornella 349008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still remember how shocked I was to read somewhere you had a 19-yr-old son, I too couldn't believe you had such a grown child. And look at that, not one but two gorgeous lads! Thanks for sharing :)</p> <p>I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your well deserved holiday and that dress is 10/10 for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348875 Fri, 13 May 2011 03:03:37 +0000 Alecia 348875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm dying to visit Puerto Rico. It looks lovely. I think your striped dress is really great. I'm glad you have a good time. You don't look old enough to have grown babies, Sveta. You have a lovely family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348867 Fri, 13 May 2011 03:00:02 +0000 Reneeb 348867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have missed you but glad you got to spend some time vacationing in Puerto Rico. Great looking bunch love the stripped dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348786 Fri, 13 May 2011 02:02:10 +0000 Sveta 348786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I realize in full how I missed YLF! It is nice to be back!<br /> I am glad the dress and the floppy hat met with approval (I did not have time to post them for approval before the trip!) and even my gear sandals did not offend your eyes. I do not like them though and looking for a better replacement but it can take a while...<br /> You know, I cannot believe myself that my "babies" are so grown up - time flies too fast... Thanks for not believing I am old enough to have such grown up kids - that really made my day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348457 Thu, 12 May 2011 16:30:11 +0000 Anonymous 348457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta! You've been missed! Don't you love vacationing with grown children? It's such fun. You look lovely in your floppy hat and cute dress and gear sandals (best foot protection for the beach). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348445 Thu, 12 May 2011 16:08:42 +0000 Jonesy 348445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I was missing you and just about ready to start a thread entitled "Sveta, where are you?" Sounds like you've had a hectic month, but your vacation looks wonderful.</p> <p>You look absolutely splendid and gorgeous in your striped beach dress, sun hat, and sandals! I love that dress on you! Your sons look so handsome and grown up. Isn't it freaky? My son will be going to high school next year--he's about 5' 10" now and it's so crazy to me that he's grown up so suddenly :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348424 Thu, 12 May 2011 15:33:59 +0000 lyn67 348424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back Sveta!

The dress looks great on you. You look so relaxed and lovely. You've got a handsome family as well. I had no idea you were old enough to have grown sons, you look much younger in your YLF pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348206 Thu, 12 May 2011 03:26:03 +0000 Heather 348206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta! I have missed you so much!</p> <p>Wow! You have been insanely busy. I am so happy to know that you iced it all off with a lovely Caribbean vacation!</p> <p>And, um, you don't look old enough to have "grown children"!!! </p> <p>Your red striped vacay dress--I am in LOVE with it. You look so happy and relaxed. Thanks for sharing these great pics. </p> <p>Welcome back, Friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348194 Thu, 12 May 2011 03:13:38 +0000 Lisa 348194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I like your red dress. And your floppy hat. I am always in hats when at the beach, stylish or not. Sun protection is more important to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348191 Thu, 12 May 2011 03:12:13 +0000 celia 348191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering if everything was ok with you. Glad to have you back.<br /> Marvellous vacations, well deserved I'm sure.<br /> Your babies look very nice, you look short compare to them.<br /> If someone looks good in a big floppy hat it iscertainly you.Fab dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348183 Thu, 12 May 2011 03:06:49 +0000 MsMary 348183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, Sveta! You look fab, and your young men are adorable!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348180 Thu, 12 May 2011 03:05:13 +0000 elpgal 348180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely. Glad you had a good time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348176 Thu, 12 May 2011 02:59:10 +0000 kellygirl 348176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to "see" and hear from you, Sveta! Sounds like you really earned that vacation! I love the fun striped dress on you and I totally understand the gear sandals. I've been known to sport a pair on occasion myself. Great pic of you and your handsome sons! Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348173 Thu, 12 May 2011 02:56:15 +0000 sarah 348173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I was wondering where you've been. I'm so glad your absence was due in part to being on a tropical vacation (although the tax part does not sound so fun - I'm the tax-gal in our family, too, but just for the immediate family). I think that dress is adorable on you, and the beach looks amazing. Welcome back!</p> <p>ETA: How fun to see your "babies"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-been-a-while#post-348171 Thu, 12 May 2011 02:53:12 +0000 Sveta 348171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been mostly absent from the forum for the last month. Somehow I got too much going on in the same time in my life: release time at work, my aunt visiting from Russia, taxes deadline (I am doing taxes for all in my family and my parents), preparing a performance for a community party and getting ready for our vacation. Well, I survived all this and we just got back from our vacation in Puerto Rico!<br /> This was the first time we took our grown up kids to the tropics and we all had a blast! We spent all week on Culebra - a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico. It does not have much of the night life but beaches and snorkeling are spectacular! Picture #1 shows their famous Flamenco beach which is considered in the 10 top beaches of the world - and as you can see we had almost all of it to ourselves.<br /> Thaw week was not much for dressing up for me. Pic#2 shows my typical outfit for the beach - sorry for gear sandals but we did a lot of walking there so they were essential. How do you like my floppy hat?:-) I hope that red striped dress was not a complete fiasco as I had to buy something casual to wear at the last minute. I realized my casual wardrobe is lacking and I need to build it up.<br /> Oh, and as a bonus you can see my all grown up "babies" there.<br /> It is nice to be back! </p>
