We had a beautiful month of November autumn weather with lots of sunny skies and cool but not cold temperatures. November in Tashkent sometimes can feel more like winter than autumn, but this year, it felt like we got an extra month of good weather with the Indian Summer days. I am now bracing for (and embracing) the cold weather of winter from December through to March. March is similar to November and it can either be full of rain and snow or spring weather can come early. I photographed the last outside elementary school assembly until further notice. Nadia leads the birthday celebrations each month during the assemblies.
We also hosted our traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, although this year we had to do it on Sunday, December 1 due to a professional development conference we had on Thursday and Friday. I have lots to be thankful for and we had an entire week delicious leftovers, one of the best characteristics of Thanksgiving. And, the Detroit Lions defeated the Chicago Bears 23-20!
The sad part of Thanksgiving was not have our two sons with us. I felt better that Owen and Oliver were in Chicago, hosted by my brother Andy and his wife Chantal.
