ALMATY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Image
We teach at Almaty International School, which is a pre-K thru 12th grade school.  We have students from about 45 different countries which is amazing.  About 35% of our student population are native Kazakh students.  Our children get to take Russian classes three times a week, but all other classes are taught in English.  Adeline said to me yesterday, "Mom, I really love our school.  I don't think there is a better school for me."  I cannot tell you how overjoyed I was to hear that.  :)   Keith chillin' in his classroom Our school as viewed from the second story of the elementary building The front of our school. This is the view we get to see on our walk to school every morning.  I don't think it will ever get old.    Almaty International School viewed at night with the full moon.

Friday night Lobster Feast in Nova Scotia

Image
We spent two summers in Clare, Nova Scotia and adored our time there.  Clare is a French speaking region of Nova Scotia, and has a very unique culture.   One of our favorite things to do was go to the local Friday night Lobster feast every week!  One of the local fishermen would bring in lobster that they caught that day and cook it up, right there on the beach.  They would sell whole lobsters for $20 CDN, along with rolls and of course some melted butter.    We would bring our own sides and bottle of wine, and then sit on a blanket or picnic table on grass overlooking the beach, enjoying local bands, and the sunset over the ocean. The local baker was there selling homemade desserts, so the evening always ended extra sweet. Audra's parents even came for a visit all the way from California - and the drove in an RV! They said the lobster was worth the drive.  :)  Be sure and check out our new instagram page!  #fiv...

Expat parents emerging from the teenage years

Image
 It's been a while! Raising children in a foreign country is amazingly rich with experience, and deep in challenge. We are coming out of hiding after COVID-19 lockdowns, navigating the teenage years, and transitioning to parents of adults. We have so many stories to share - they will come one at a time in the coming months. We now have two adult children living in the USA. Our oldest has graduated from university and is doing a great job adulting. Our second is attending university and loving life as a college student in a big city. Our youngest is in his last year of high school, living with us in Timor-Leste - our next adventure.  Proud parents of our first university graduate! June 2023 Our first day in Timor-Leste - and we still can't get enough of coconuts on the beach. August 2023 One thing we have realized - is that very shortly, we will no longer have children at home. We are almost done with this stage of our life, and soon it will just be the two of us living togethe...
