Having Mom here!
As soon as we found out we were pregnant, I told my Mom to start saving for a plane ticket! My Mom got to be there for Avinelle’s birth (only the last 58 min before she was born, she almost missed it!) and a week after and even as we learned that I could only Read more about Having Mom here![…]
The 40 Days
Pic of our Eloise for cuteness!! So, since we just had a baby we are learning all about culturally what (some) people locally do both as the Baby and the Mom for the first 40 days after the Baby is born. There’s even more traditions that I’ve read about but not completely sure if it Read more about The 40 Days[…]
The Birth Story of Eloise Ann Fisk
The short version of Eloise Ann Fisk’s birth story. First, some background- we found out early November we were pregnant and shortly after we actually thought we lost her. From that moment God spoke over her “Fighter”. (we didn’t know yet she was a girl until two months later) We found out it was a Read more about The Birth Story of Eloise Ann Fisk[…]

Savoring The Moments
It was probably about half way through our US trip near the end of May that it dawned on me- we only have a precious few weeks with just our First Little Love, Avinelle Lynn Fisk, before her sister makes her appearance. I have been taking small moments here and there to really pay attention Read more about Savoring The Moments[…]

Headed back to the US!
Pic of us starting out our journey in Almaty Airport. Can you believe it? It’s been just over 10 months since we (Avi and I- 9 for Andrew since he went for his Father/Son camping trip in August last year) have been in the US! We definitely feel we are “leaving home” from Almaty and Read more about Headed back to the US![…]
We’re Matching!
So someone pointed out the fact quickly after we were around people that Avi and I were matching. I tell you- I didn’t even notice HAHA! That’s how “full” my brain is these days lol. Now she WAS wearing her shirt before I picked out my earrings and scarf and it didn’t even dawn on Read more about We’re Matching![…]
Time To Reflect
I savor the mornings we don’t have to rush out the door. Today is “the day before” a holiday so no school for Avi plus Andrew is gone so no lessons for us. We have roughly 3-4 mornings a week to not have to leave at 8:25AM. On those mornings I try hard, like today, Read more about Time To Reflect[…]
Avinelle- Our Little Artist!

But imagine our shock when Avi straight up drew a face (I believe the above is Read more about Avinelle- Our Little Artist![…]
