A visit from Umi and Papa!
We had a super 3 week visit from Elizabeth's Parents. It's probably their last trip to England before we move home so we tried to make it memorable. We toured our favorite Cotswold stops as well as a few new sites. A short 3 day trip to York, a Big Thanksgiving feast, and several kid events rounded out their stay.
Here's Umi at the Tea Room in Chipping Camden-What a delightful town!

Birthdays and Thanksgiving
On the 14th of November our house was taken over by 6 girls, OH MY! Fun and not much sleep was had by all as they helped Cora celebrate her 9th birthday.
Cora wears the Happy Birthday Hat and an attitude to match!
We had an International Thanksgiving this year as guests included English and French friends as well as our American Family! What a wonderful day it was! We are so thankful for the friends we have made here.

Owen celebrated his Birthday hangin' out with his friends. The camping out plan didn't work as it was pouring rain most of the night but they still managed to roast marshmellows and create a mess in the living room!
Boys just wanna have fun!

It's been a while!
OK, so it's been a while! Since our last blog we have moved, celebrated 2 birthdays, Thanksgiving, had an extended visit from Elizabeth's parents, took a long weekend trip to Devon, a Christmas holiday to Munich, and finally celebrated Christmas. WOW-That's a lot!! So, let's get started on catching up.
Over the October half-term we took a quick trip south to Devon. It was a great weekend filled with hikes, castles, and neolithic sites! After arriving back home it was full steam ahead for our BIG move across town. The move went fine and we are now settled in for the final months of our stay here in England.

Totnes Castle, one of the many ruins we saw on this trip.

Our home for the next 10 months!
Look, we've got a real backyard!!
