December 2018
In December we were mostly in Thailand for vacation. We got to spend a week at the beach as a family, then Gramm (Jeremy's mom, Angi) came to visit us and we were at the beach with her for a week and then went to another city to see friends of ours, get some medical treatment and medical supplies and both were able to get in to see a counselor. After that we were in Bangkok for two nights and then headed back home and brought Gramm with us. She got to spend a little over a week with us in Tashkent. We got some good rest and sweet time as a family. We were so thankful Jeremy's mom got to be with us and that her trip included Christmas and Charlotte's birthday.

| had some extra video time while on vacation, they loved that! These kids go to russian preschool for 4 hours a day, then homeschool for 2 hours in english, try to grab some outside time in there somewhere, and might get a half an hour some days on a device...so they were super happy about the extra screen time with Dad while on vacation while mom rested during Charlotte's nap!! |

| my favorite photo of my mother-in-law caught on camera by one of my kids. She is full of life and laughter in this photo with her granddaughter, true joy and fun, I would frame this one if I could put photos on my walls, but the walls are concrete so I'll settle for posting it here and putting it in a photo book one day! |
