I was able to organize a successful birthday party for Peter and he seemed to like it. Even Alec seemed to enjoy it even though he spent most of the time looking pretty grumpy. I think I might try to do something small and quiet for his actual birthday-birthday, but I don't know what yet.

Piotr seemed to be happy, too. He wasn't at the dance and I think something was bothering him, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping I can surprise him soon with some Russian, though. I've been working really hard with Iyllana to learn as much as I can.
