the bishkek adventure


although "our story" as a couple originated in 2006... the bishkek adventure officially began in july of 2008 when jennifer and i accepted teaching positions at an international school in bishkek, kyrygzstan. we started this blog with the hope that it would be an entertaining and accurate catalog of our years living abroad. although we are back in the states now after two years in central asia and our life is not nearly as exotic or exciting... we are keeping the blog going writing for our friends, families and for our first born child, olivia (olive) annmarie conover, who blessed us with her arrival on monday, august 24 at 2:15pm.

olive and hats

jen and i are on different sleep schedules.  we try our hardest to go to bed at the same time (meaning i stay up as late as i can stand it) and i always ended up getting up early while the girls are still sleeping.  many times after we go to bed... olive wakes up and jen gets up with her (she is so great about letting me sleep knowing that i have to work the next day.  i feel like a jerk sometimes staying in bed while she is up but after about five seconds of stretching out and hogging the whole bed... i end up being ok with it).

anyway the other night i woke up sometime in the middle of the night to find jen and olive in the middle of a photo shoot (jen and my mom have so much in common).  here are some photos she took of little olive.

  1. Love the hats! Grandma is sending her some more in the package you should receive before you leave for Christmas vacation. I'm glad she likes them! Yes, I think Jen, like me has figured out that the middle of the night can be a most productive time (I might add with or without children).
