Visiting Cousins and a visiting cousin

Over a month ago, I posted our last blog and as you can imagine, we were pretty busy. We flew back to Canada to attend Sarah's cousin's wedding at the end of September and stayed for about 5 days. The wedding was super fun and we want to say congrads again to Justine and Troy and their families. It's a shame weddings can only happen once with the same people.

Over here, school has kept us occupied, but we have still left enough room in our schedules and our apartment for people to come visit. My cousin, Scott Taylor, is currently finding himself in Europe and he found himself staying with us for a few days. He's doing what everybody dreams of doing or regrets never doing - traveling for a few months while he can still stomach affordable mystery meat and temporary bedrooms. But in all seriousness, the only regret I have about Scott staying with us is that we didn't convince him to stay longer. It was terrific having him here, he was an ideal guest (made us dinner, twice! Two more times than me) and everybody should follow his lead.

Our past month was filled with school activities like Culture Day, Parent/Teacher Conferences, Harvest Festival, after-school clubs, and two school campouts for Sarah. Also, we've started Czech lessons, Bible study, took a weekend trip to Cesky Krumlov, took a weekend trip to Karlstejn Castle to witness a Medieval Festival (there isn't enough space on the internet...), celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, and have loved every minute of it.

We are always thinking of home and the people there, but we are so happy and blessed to be living in Prague. Sarah and I begin a week's holiday today and tomorrow we're meeting some Aussies from the school for a road trip to Switzerland through Germany. We still seem to have to pinch ourselves.

Anyway, that's a very brief update on the many things we've found ourselves doing over the past month. If you want to comment on these, just reply to our email.
