Christmas Time Again





We had a lovely Thanksgiving last week, but of course we missed you all. We celebrated much as the Pilgrims did in some ways. We invited our national friends that have helped us survive and thrive in our "new world" to eat with us and join us in thanking our Faithful Father. I wondered as we ate if the Native Americans felt the same way about the food of the Pilgrims as our national friends felt about our strange concoctions!!

Life is getting back into full gear around here. We are learning how to do our everyday stuff with a baby in tow! Benjamin loves to be out and about. On a fussy day, a guaranteed stop to the whining comes with leaving the house. He's quite the little MK right now. He rarely fusses at nationals, but is very often nice and polite with them. He likes to go visiting and doesn't mind being passed around, at least so far.

We took a trip to the zoo this week just for the fun of it. Caleb and Karis have been asking to go for a while and we just got around to doing that.

We had to get the Christmas tree up so that we can start getting in the Christmas spirit. It is a little warm here at this time of year, so the tree is a good reminder that Christmas isn't far away.

We love you and are missing you during the holidays.
