This is a photo of my family. My mother is
on the right – her name is Valentina. It’s her
fortieth birthday today. I can’t believe she’s
40! The man next to Mum is my father. His
name is Maxim and he’s 42. My sister Anna
is on the left and she’s 18. The boy in the
orange T-shirt is my brother, he’s called
Dima. The two people in the centre are my
grandparents, Vera and Mikhail. Mum is their
daughter. I’m not in the picture – I’m the
family photographer!
