July 2015

9 months in Central Asia and I finally had to break out the 'ol flour time.  :) Kept her busy and stimulated while I wrapped up some dishes and a meal.  Even easier to clean up here than it was back in GA! :) 

"Fish" tank at William's bog'cha (kind of like preschool, kind of not). Just so you know, there is no water in there.  Some of those fish are stickers, some look very real and are somewhat glued to the back, and I think there are a couple hanging from strings. Kind of smart, really, fish you don't have to feed!

Picture in case the following video doesn't work...here in our neighborhood we water the dirt.  Yes it's so dry and dusty that people water the DIRT.  We are not much on water conservation and such. 

At a local park photo spot.  They have these photo spots all over the place but they are usually decorated with huge stuffed animals or characters from movies.  This one seemed nice and not too overboard so we took the opportunity.

No need for words...she's a mess...and her reply is "mommy, I not a mess, I a girl"

yeah that's hair, all of it.

Fun with friends in a pool! so much fun!

If the video works, this is what my stove did all day the other day.  We decided to act like we were in a movie and being shot at.

Sending Daddy a picture while he was out of town

How many kids can one guy push? They got to like four on and one pushing.  Apparently they were out of gas, common sight here. 

We walked up to our neighborhood to see smoke...and the fire truck and fire fighters.  They carry their water with them on their trucks.  

Jeremy found a place to swim at a local park.  We watched a guy jump from a bridge to swim...it was interesting to watch from the paddle boat with my 3 and 2 year olds.

How we buy our bacon (which we rarely buy)...but shout out to the Barne's family and congrats on baby Audrey :) If you don't understand the connection between this photo and them, that's ok, just know we miss 'em :) 

Jeremy took a trip outside the city to a village and enjoyed his time there very much.  Here are grapes growing at the house where he stayed. 

The ladder with which to pick the grapes

Jeremy washing the grapes...(in my opinion it may be more dangerous to wash grapes here than to just eat them straight off the vine but I'm not an expert in any sort of food sanitation practices department or anything)

Water, coming from where, going to where, I do not know, but it is BEAUTIFUL to me! I was thankful Jeremy took the picture for me!

Want a romantic dinner on the water, this looks just like the place, in the middle of nowhere Jeremy found this on his trip

Our God is totally huge! Look at the mountains and just marvel!

See ya next time!
