About Us

Hi!


After meeting Rob and Dede on my recent return flight to Moscow I have decided to give blogging a try. Since this is my first attempt please forgive the mistakes.


Ron and I have been married for 32 years and have a newly married son (age 28) and a daughter (age 25). In May of 2007 Andy graduated from the University of Houston School of Optomery, and two weeks later married in Kansas. Ashley is a third year vet student at the University of Auburn. Andy and Ashley have both visited us in Russia.

We are starting our 5th year involved with projects here Russia through TNK-BP. Our first two years were in Izhevsk, followed by a short posting in London before returning to Russia in November 2006. I have always enjoyed chatting with new adoptive parents on the Delta flights between the US and Russia. After living in Trinidad where we were actively involved with a children's orphangage we certainly can relate to the need for international adoptions.


Hopefully, we were able to provide Rob and Dede with additional insights to the home country of their new son through our perspective of American expats living in Russia. So......if you find yourselves in Russia with time on your hands please know we are willing to share this wonderful country with you.
