It's Been Awhile...

Even though, I don't have much to say, I feel like it's been too long since I blogged. I guess the biggest news is that we are coming to Iowa for Christmas. Sophia will love it. I don't know if her mom and dad are going to enjoy the plane ride, but it will be worth it.

We celebrated Thanksgiving at school this past weekend, and tomorrow we're going to a friend's house to celebrate again. Maybe this time we'll get some Turkey since we were late to the school Thanksgiving. Too bad we have to teach tomorrow.

That's pretty much what has been going on. Sophia has completely mastered calling us mama and dada now. Last week she was calling Joe "mama." Paybacks, I guess, for her first words being "dada." She even told the nanny today, "Nana, poo-poo." Sure enough, there was poo-poo. Smart. "Nana" by the way is the Russian name for nanny.

We put up the Christmas tree this week; yes, before Thanksgiving! Joe figured that we should put it up early since we will only enjoy it until the 17th. I knew better than to try to fight him. It's fun having it up, although it doesn't feel wintery here without any snow. I think we'll get a big snowfall soon. It wouldn't be Almaty without that.
