I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much else for this opening. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

(from the journal of Katyusha Williams nee Braginsky)
Seeing my niece and nephews, my sister and brother in law, and best friends again is so much fun and I am so happy. Soon after the new year started, Roderich got an offer with the studio he was working with to be a full time member of their music department. They even bought him a house and paid what was left of the one he was buying of Natalya and Fredka. They claim they found the perfect technology and want to make a few movies. Of course Roderich couldn't deny having creative control over music so he took the offer and they moved out by Valentine's day. Must have been tough on Eliza with a young child but she told me today that it was quite the adventure and she handled Maria well. I think her time as a governess did prepare her for motherhood well. Even when she looked after Louise when I had that post birth sadness or whatever it was. I am honestly proud that my work getting Matvey the ranger job has paid off. Sure I won't be able to see Natalya or Eliza and their children daily like we all could back in New York, but I have learned it makes things more special but not as painful when you are a day drive away as to in different time zones. I am going to have to work with Louise on her penmanship more. Anya wants to send letters to her baby cousin and Natalya assured me she would write more as well. Fredka talked about looking into getting telephones but for this distance, it is kind of an impracticability, but someday soon I think we can just pick up the phone, dial a number and hear each other in the same time. I mean radios are getting more affordable and it would be so much fun to have one soon.
But today was just so much fun and I told Matvey it would be the perfect surprise and gift for Nikolai's birthday. They are going to go fishing tomorrow, Matvey and Fredka and the boys. He even rented a boat. I do hope they don't go too far out. I know Nikolai loves the water and would try to swim all the way back to shore. He's so tall now, but still I worry about my first born nephew. I cannot help myself. I remember when he was born, how much he loved Vanya, how much of Vanya I can see in him. But being closer to my family with enough space for us to do what we love, I have never felt better and happier. I must do something for Natalya and Eliza and our girls that day though. I will think of something.
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. You can clearly see this one is longer than The Longing of the Heart for some obvious reasons. One is over a few years, this a whole decade practically. I am coming to a good wrap up and should be here soon. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
