it's wednesday

So, a quick update- it snowed last night...been watching the news on bbc- earthquakes and protests-drank some coffee this morning. We love coffee. It always seems to hit the spot. My wife is humming in the shower- sounds like Taylor Swift. hmm what else for a quick update- oh yeah, our little washing machine is fixed. Ate tuna pizza last night. Have been reading some, watching 30 Rock- we have been here for over 20 months...sounds long- almost finished though...day by day. we are in good health-been running a couple times- ok, later- Ryan and Steph

I'm a Shepherd! Check out my sheep!

Also included in my countryside visit...a tour of the farm! Sheep, goats, cows, horses! This one almost came home with me! Wouldn't Ryan have been pleased?! ;) I may have discovered a future career!

Countryside Visit

Two of my Mongolian counter-parts decided I would NOT be allowed to leave this country without having experienced true countryside life. This included playing 'Dress-Up-the-Foreigner' in the traditional Mongolian hat, del, boots, etc! Good times, good times!

Winter pastimes...?!?!

The Mongolian winter is once again upon us! (Correction: Actually it started over three months ago...minus the month we ran away to SE Asia.) But with at least one whole month to go...do you ever wonder what do we do with ourselves when it's -20/-30 outside?! Answer: Take pictures...of course! Who could get bored when you're striking poses like these?! :)
