| lost tooth; to answer your question, the tooth fairy does not exist in our home, but he did get money from his dad for his first lost tooth, he got a whopping $10 while in America...no fairy paid his parents back after that one so they won't pay for any more teeth, maybe fairies in Uzbekistan don't mind debt ;) |

| turtle So these pictures were all mixed up, but that was sort of what it was like to move from America back to Uzbekistan really. We enjoyed our time in the states, were all ready to get back to Uzbekistan, and are full throttle into life here now. Thankful for both worlds we live in. Missing friends, connecting with friends. Missing foods, adjusting back to some favorites here. Making new friends while remembering and learning language isn't always easy but it's worth it. Love to you and yours. |
