the last week...

we met a couple with two kiddos when we went to a halloween festival a couple weeks ago. the guy heard chris speaking english and the relationship started from there. he is from victoria and his wife is from the czech republic. they have a daughter, lola who is a couple weeks older than weston, and a son nino, who is a couple weeks older than raleigh. we hung out with them last weekend and went to their place which was very fun for us and the kids. the gal is an artist and the guy reminds me a lot of chris with his disposition and pure love for his kids.







it has been cold here and sunny. yesterday it snowed! it didn't stick but it was fun to see the city through white sparkles in the sky...hard to get a pic of the snow with the lighting...




we have a month left here in prague. for thanksgiving weekend we are heading to salzburg on the train. we are looking forward to seeing the city in winter and the christmas market...






loves! ahoy! happy thanksgiving...i am so thankful for all of you...xo

our irish friend...

he came from ireland. carrick on shannon, ireland to be exact. chris has known him before he knew me. he led a tour though south america and mick was on it. he's really an genuinely great guy who had both boys smitten with him the minute he walked into the door...with presents in tow...:)




his lovely wife, katrina, who could not make it to prague helped with the presents...cool hats and cool socks...

we went to the farmers market and then got a sitter and the three of us hit the town! 






i hope for peace in our world...

halloween in prague...

officer keating and raleigh the bandit...




i was going to have them both be policemen. i made them police hats out of paper and tape (there are no places to get costumes for children in prague). we had to think of plan b because raleigh wouldn't keep his on. we found this adult police hat at a store that we clipped in the back so it would stay on weston's head. i made weston's belt out of a ribbon and pipe cleaners and made his shirt with electrical tape and scissors...last minute chris thought of dressing raleigh up as a bandit because it would be an easy costume to make. i used a fabric pen for his stripes and paper for his mask...you really have to get crafty in a simple way here if you want your child to wear a costume!




we took the train out of town to a botanical garden that we saw was supposed to have halloween fun for kids. it was such a fun thing to experience. most people were locals and there were kids that were actually dressed up! we didn't see any in the city. it was fun for weston and raleigh to be around other kids that were having fun on halloween too...not the best pic but you can't get a feel for the action...



chris's monster pumpkin...





and some other random pics from the weekend...the weather is so beautiful now. cold but so bright and sunny...definitely happy weather...and it helps that raleigh slept for four nights for 8-9 hours straight...last night was a different story, but cross your fingers that we are coming out of the dark, no sleep tunnel soon...
