Expat parents emerging from the teenage years

 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 together
