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.

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. This will be a big adjustment as we have put all of our energy into providing rich experiences for our children and choosing travel based on them. We've taken up diving, and it is quickly becoming our favorite thing to do - just the two of us.

In the coming months, I will be sharing our experiences of travel, lockdowns, transitioning our children back to the USA, parenting adults, and of course, lots of travel adventures.

Welcome to KAZAKHSTAN!

We are here and made it without a hitch.  We arrived at 3AM on Friday morning and were graciously picked up by our 3 administrators with a bus and a luggage van.  They were so gracious.  We got to our new home around 4:30 AM and got in bed at 5:00 AM.  When they left they said they were picking us up at 10 AM to go grocery shopping.  After being awake for over 30 hours, I thought they were joking, but they were not!  The grocery store was overwhelming.  We were exhausted, we couldn't read any labels, and weren't even sure what we needed.  We'd only been in our home 5 hours.  Rochelle Meylink, fellow teacher and tour guide, was so patient and helpful as we walked through each aisle.  The kids got whiny and after we paid we were waiting for one other person to check out so we told the kids to sit on the floor by the corner.  As SOON as they sat down, everybody's heads turned.  People walking by had shocked looks on their faces.  I realized we had done something wrong, b

ALMATY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

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.
