being busy.
A birthday party, a farewell party, and celebrating the kids and another school year at the school’s award ceremony. It’s the last weekend before school’s out and so it was busy.
I’m looking forward to just sitting on my bench and smelling the roses.
I hope you had a great weekend.
the girls first school year here in Atyrau is coming to an end. I can’t believe it. It only seems like yesterday was their first day at school and now they only have 5 left.
The girls amazed me at how quick they were able to adjust from a school of almost 1000 kids to only having 65 here at their new one. I’m so proud of them. I’ll admit that it took me a little more time to get used to such a small school. There are times when I wonder if hubby and I are doing right by them by having them in such a small school. But then at some weird level I feel like my kids will somehow be better in life because of it. Apart from the core subjects that they have to cover there are so many social and life skills that they need to learn because of the size of the school.
Well school’s almost out and we are ready for Summer!!

before I leave my corner of the world I hope to make it into this mosque. It’s just across the road from where we live.
I always see it busy on Friday’s where there is a call to prayer.
for more “sky views” start with Francesca.
we spent the morning watching the kids do the school’s annual triathlon. The weather was wonderful and the community support was great
Renee and Tanysha and all the other kids did really well. I’m amazed at how ‘physically fit’ the kids are. Well apart from the physical aspect of the race there were so many other life lessons learned today!
They all did such an awesome job!
The girls received their medals and certificates for completing the race successfully.
We shall all sleep well tonight!
Enjoy your Saturday.

this weeks theme is “on the ground/at my feet…..
the weather here is so beautiful right now. And it’s hard not to notice all the blooming happening from the ground up.
Right now the village looks beautiful.
It’s sad that I can’t say the same about my backyard yet…………. I hope to do something about it this weekend after the kids do their triathlon race.
