Autumn 2012

Autumn 2012 flew by.  As soon as we were settled into our home, Gregory and I both continued in language school.  And then October brought us our big news: a June baby!  With lots of illness for me during the first trimester, we simply survived each month, especially late October through early January.  Here are a few pictures from September through Christmas.

We discovered the local water park!

Nathanael's first chocolate chip cookies!
