Go Aggies!

Happy Thanksgiving

One of our favourite things about our time in The US was the Thanksgiving holiday. It is really great to take some time to realise all that we have, be with family and be grateful - I also love it because it hasnt been highjacked as a huge commercial deal.

We plan to institute it in our family moving forward. So this weekend, we had a makeshift thanksgiving - most importantly, Kyle had his first thanksgiving. It is almost impossible to get a lot of the traditional thankgiving food (like pumpkin pie) so we just did thanksgiving dessert. Next year we will get it all sorted out properly.

one last cute pic!

The most overdue post ever!!

Ok, first of all... apologies for not updating you guys for ages! We still have no internet at home and apparently it might be another 3 weeks before we can convince someone to connect it for us!It has been a ridiculously busy time, but it has been a lot of fun, here are a few of the many things that have been going on:

Kyle update
Kyle is doing brilliant. He is now officially eating solids, sitting up by himself and sleeping 12 hours through the night!!! It has been really incredible to watch him develop so much in such a short time. He has settled in really well to being home and has lots of new friends. He is loving spending time with his Grandparents and family.

A new home
We are really enjoying being in our new home. We are still in mid-chaos and there are a couple of rooms which are off-limits because of the amount of boxes and junk that we have piled up.

Freezing

It is definitely a bit of a shock to be back to a freezing cold climate. This morning it was -1 degrees celcius (30 degrees F) and I was scraping the ice of the car before I went to work. It has been pretty bright and therefore easy to deal with.

4 Generations of MacDonalds
One of the coolest experiences of being home was the opportunity to go and see Lynsey's extended family. Kyle got to meet his great grandparents - what a massive blessing to have 4 generations of the family together!!!

Anyway, that is a bit of an update of the past few weeks - we will post more pictures of the house once it gets in a little better shape.
