My family album

I think that family is the most important thing for every person. We can always feel love and support in our families.

My immediate family is not big. Me, my husband and our daughter Ann. We live in a two-room flat in Rivne with my husband`s parents (Jevgeniya Vasylivna and Anatoliy Romanovych). My mother-in-law is fifty-five and my father-in-law is nearly fifty-seven. They are good people and they always try to help us. My parents (Valentyna Vasylivna and Jaroslaw Ivanovych) live in a village in Rivnens`ka region. My mum is fifty-two, she works in tax inspection. My dad is fifty-four, he is a driver. My parents both like their work very much. Unfortunately we visit my parents not very often. It can be even once a month. This is not enough, I think.

I have a younger sister Olya. We love each other very much and there is no day that we don`t speak over the phone. She is twenty-five and she is married. Her husband Juriy is a businessman. Their daughter Varvara is my god-daughter and she is a cousin of my daughter Ann. Althougt trey have large age different they like play together.

My husband Vitaliy is thirty-one. He is a civil servant. He enjoys sports. Sometimes, I think, that there is no such kind of sport he doesn`t like. Our TV set is always turned on the sports channel.

Our daughter Ann is almost eight. She studies at the second grade. She does well at school. Especially she likes creative lessons. She is very kind person and she is fond of animals. Moreover she plays ping pong and it goes well.

As for me, in this period I don`t work. This year I entered the Rivne Pedagogical University because I want to be an English teacher.

Except my immediate family I have many cousins, aunts, uncles and other relatives. They were doubled when I got married because my husband has a large family too. For example, my father-in-law has four brothers and sisters, and one of them has fourteen!!! children.

My grandparents died many years ago but my husband`s grandmother is still alive. She lives in a small village not far from my parent`s village. We try to visit her when we have such possibility. She is always very glad to see us especially her great-granddaughter.

Everyone in our family is rather busy, but we always look forward to a possibility to spend some time together. In the evenings we watch TV, read books, listen to music or just talk about the events of the day.
