Every year Austin's school has UN day. They spend the whole day celebrating all of the countries around the world. They are asked to dress up in outfits that represent their home country. This of course led to a very interesting conversation with Austin. He has a difficult time understanding he is an American not a Singaporean (Austin was born in Singapore). Sorry Dad, you know I am a total patriot! I will work harder!!! However, you can't blame the poor boy as he has never lived in America let alone spent more than three weeks at any given time there! So anyway............as you can see he was a cowboy!!!
This is a picture of Austin outside of his classroom. His classroom represented Ireland as that is where his teacher is from. One guess who his teacher is!!! :)
This is a picture of his whole class after the big parade outside of the school. All of the kids march in a parade wearing all of their outfits. It was so much fun to enjoy all of the different costumes the children wore to represent their home countries!
This is Austin in the parade giving me a quick wave. I love my cowboy and I am so grateful for the amazing opportunities he has living abroad to truly appreciate the diversity around him.

Austin, you are one handsome cowboy! What a blessing that your kids get to experience these kinds of things. However, we miss you guys terribly in the good ol' USA!! We can't wait to see you...SOON!!
He is such a cutie! And makes an adorable cowboy. How wonderful that he gets to experience things like this at school and in life in general here.
