New house in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

I know after someone moves, one of the things I want to see is their new place. It helps me to imagine where they are living and their surroundings. So, here you go, some pictures of our new house in Bishkek!

This is actually the view of the back of the house. Most of the leaves on the vine have dropped off...I can hardly believe tomorrow is the first of November!

This is our front door. It is hard to get a better view because of all the power lines and the house is built right up against the main gate that leads to the street.

This is the view of our house, outside of our gate, while standing on the edge of the street.

This is the view across the street from our house.

As you look to the left (west)...

and as you look to the right (east) when standing at our front gate.

Here is a view of the back covered patio, before the leaves changed colors.

Krypto in the backyard the day we said we would take the house, back in mid September.

I think this was a day or two after we moved in...the colors are changing and we got to start collecting walnuts from our very own walnut tree.

Some quiet time for me on the back patio. The leaves were changing and I got to look at Sissi's diorama.

My kitchen.

The view of the other side of the kitchen, before we moved in. We have since taken out the table and use it in the school room. I have put a bookshelf there to hold some of my pots and pans.

The grand staircase that leads to the 3 bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor.

The living room...

and dining room are combined, but feel plenty big enough.

The full bathroom upstairs. We also have a half bath on the main floor. Thankful to have the washing machine in the bathroom this time, and not in the kitchen. 

The boys' shared room. All we had to add was the bookcase.

Gwangi's side of the room...

and Krypto's side of the room.

Sissi, painting the side of her bookcase with elephants and flowers.

Her bedroom and all of her stuffed animals.

The school room. I am so thankful to have a place to unpack all of our books.

The table from the kitchen is where I sit and work with the kids. Indy uses the desk to do his work here in what we call the office or the school room.

The new shkaf we ordered for our bedroom. It is like a wardrobe, as none of the houses or apartments here have closets to store your clothes.
