So it has been a very long time since I have posted so this may be a lengthy update. We are really enjoying the fall here. The leaves are beautiful and the weather is overall mild. We still get several nice days and sunshine which is nice. Kwenton is enjoying school and is definitely in the thick of it. He is staying busy for sure. He has a major paper due in mid-November.
Kwenton's parents came for a visit in early October and we really enjoyed that. We met them in Ireland to attend a friend's wedding in Doolin. We had an absolute ball! The wedding was gorgeous and it was a part of Ireland that we had never been to. Kwenton's parents enjoyed watching Hudson while we were at the wedding. They came back to England with us and stayed for 10 days. We enjoyed taking several day trips. We went to Blenheim Castle (birthplace of Winston Churchill), Bibury, Burford, Lechlade, Stow on the Wold, Stratford on Avon, Oxford, and spent an overnight in Crickhowell Wales. We had a great time!
Hudson's first birthday was on October 11th and we had an awesome celebration! Several of our friends from over here came over to celebrate with us. We had a Baby Einstein birthday and a baby Einstein caterpillar cake which I made. We were up pretty late the night before and I enlisted the help of Kwenton, Larry, and Pat to all help me. Everyone was awesome and it was a lot of fun. The cake wasn't magnificent but I think Hudson liked it ... at least the look of it. He didn't really try the cake at all ... just smashed it. LOL He loved all of his gifts and loved playing with the kids who were over for his party.
The last few weeks have been low-key. We are hoping to take a couple of trips in the near future and still love taking day trips exploring our area. We really love it here and are having a ball. We feel so lucky to have this opportunity!
