At the end of October, we moved to Central Asia! We are thankful Jeremy's company sent us here, we love it! There are challenges along the way but we definitely feel at home here. Here are some pictures (hopefully!) from the month. I will keep the photos on size small, so you might need to zoom in to see them :) sorry, part of the fun of living in a new country.
 |
| Our carry on bags lol |
 |
| A friend gave the kids wrapped gifts to open at each airport and on each plane. They found creative ways to have fun with them when they were awake! |
 |
| My little guy and gal watching the planes |
 |
| Having fun at the airport (well, most of us were having fun) |
 |
| Talking on the "phone" on the plane (yes, those are remote controls) |
 |
| Fun on "bikes" at an indoor play area we like to frequent now that we are in a colder climate. |
 |
| our dining room table and 10 chairs were delivered this way |
 |
| riding on the choo-choo inside the mall |
 |
| my cuties |
 |
| our new bedroom |
 |
| the foyer/entrance way to our home from the view of the door. The kids room is to the left, the dining room is the open door on the left, the living area is the open door on the right, the bathroom (where you bathe and wash hands) is the closed door to the right of the open doors, the toilet room is to the right (not pictured) and our bedroom is beside the front door...a cozy little square of some sort :) |
 |
| our dining room |
 |
| our dryer (yes it's a rack beside windows) |
 |
| our cozy kitchen where lots of time is spent (the washing machine, which is awesome to have, is tucked in there on the right, smack in front of the sink where I spend a lot of time :) we gotta eat!) |
 |
| our living room |
 |
| the kids playing at a playground the week we arrived |
 |
| in a taxi, while in motion...no carseats...they love it! |
 |
| the view from our back windows |
 |
| Kaitlynn trying a salad (completely foreign smell and sight to her) sent to us from a sweet neighbor while William is crying to not eat the Beef Stroganoff i made (not such a foreign food lol) |
 |
| we make up fun now |
 |
| the kid's room...they are looking at something they dropped from their bunk beds. |
 |
| the "bath" tub...when the owners of our apartment renovated, they installed a jacuzzi tub. We have no idea if it works or how to work it if it does lol. The bottom is not flat like the kids are used to so it is an interesting nightly event seeing them figure out how to get around with their toy cars and such in their pool. It is also interesting for the adults in the house since there is no pole for the shower head or a shower curtain. We've lovingly named the device our "shath" (kind of a bath, kind of a shower). |
 |
| She fell asleep on the floor...maybe her baby was crying or something. |
 |
| these guys sometimes love each other :) |
 |
| a really cool rug Jeremy found for the kid's room. Rugs are necessary on the cold hard floors so why not have one that doubles as a whole town for the cars! |
 |
| If you knew how much our kids loved the car we borrowed from friends their first two years of life....you'll know why having these cars at the play area greatly blesses us all! |

| on the way to the market |
Enough for now! :) We love and miss our family back in the states. But we are so so thankful to be here in this place now. We love the city, people, and even most of the new things we are getting to experience! Love, the O's :)
