Falling, falling, autumn leaves are falling

We’ve been missing seasons back in the US, and Thanksgiving snuck up on us here in Tembagapura.  Luckily the teachers invited us to their Thanksgiving feast (we’re one of the few couples in town with no kids in the school yet, so there was no conflict of interest).  We had a wonderful meal, and both girls behaved themselves very well.  You can see from the pics below how much Helen has grown.  She’s a very happy baby who is a wonderful napper.  Still working on sleeping through the night, but she rarely cries, so it’s not too bad.  Diana is getting much more active, running around the neighborhood, and enjoying going to the Sport Hall with a racquetball and running in circles.  She knows the difference between underhand and overhand throwing, and actually has a pretty good sidearm as well, so we’ll be signing her up for baseball soon 🙂  Her hair has gotten so long that I can braid it now – I usually have to bribe her with television to get her to hold still long enough, but she loves watching the ballet sequences from the two Fantasia movies (and one from the movie Center Stage), so that makes it easier.  I think she’ll be the first little league pitcher to wear a tutu to the mound!  That’s all for now.  Missing you all and the cold weather you’re having.  (Diana saw the heavy fog outside this weekend and starting shouting “it’s snowing out side!!!” very excitedly.  We’ll have to get her to see real snow sometime!).
