olive has outgrown the baby bjorn carriers that we brought with us from the states but she hasn't outgrown loving to be carried everywhere. my crafty wife made her own carrier with some fabric she bough from medina bazaar (or maybe it was osh bazaar). she went there with jane (pronounced zhan na) our russian teacher. you might remember jane from this time last year when we were taking russian lessons. well - jen is back at it again (to better communicate with nina the nanny) and one of the things that she is doing with jane is going out to markets and bazaars and working on real world, practical russian. not that "hello - where is the bathroom" isn't real world.
anyway - olive is happy again being totted around by jen.
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.





Nice job Jen!
