November Update

This month we celebrated Evan's 17th birthday. We ate like "carnivores" at a Brazilian, all-you-can-eat, restaurant. We came home for cake and presents. He had cards from grandparents to open, and emails from friends and family to read. Thanks for all the birthday wishes that came his way.

Poor Leah was hit by a softball during practice. She was hit hard (as you can see), but remained very brave. She ended up with two black eyes!

We were fortunate to share Thanksgiving with good friends again this year. Susan and Dave Fedo, and Sue, Sean, Joel and Erin Figov came back for more turkey this year. Our new friends Johanna and Dan Crowe, who lived in Amesbury and moved to S'pore last July, joined us around the table this year. A friend of Jane's also came over. We were a happy bunch of American and British expat's, who really enjoyed the day together. We feel blessed to have such wonderful friends during this time of year. The bonds that are formed when you are away from family, and home, are strong, and so important.
