So we survived our first Thanksgiving without our family and the traditions we were used to. It actually wasn't so bad. It helped that we received phone calls, e-mails and even a few care packages this week. We are so grateful that people took the time to let us know that they were thinking about us! For that we are grateful!
Now we start a few more "firsts". Today Luke and Abby are going to hort. This is an aftercare program at the church we worship in, where they get help with their homework, eat lunch, hopefully learn even more German and make even more friends. Brad and I plan to take advantage of 2 less kiddos in the house and actually try to finish what we start. So much of our day is spent on public transportation and broken up because our kids finish school so early...either 12 or 1pm. They will only be going on M,W & F, but we still plan on seeing an increase in the amount of work we get done!:)
Another first for us will happen this evening as we go to a Heuriger with all of the students in Abby's class and their parents. We are looking forward to getting to know some families a little better, and actually seeing Abby interact with her classmates.
I'll try to get some good photos to post.
One more first...this weekend I am going to attempt to make chocolate ice box pudding. Go here for the recipe.

The aftercare program sounds like a good deal for everyone. And I wish I hadn't followed the link for the chocolate ice box pudding. It looks delicious and now I may just have to try the recipe.
Well, I just punched the "Heuriger" button... seems different to have a school function there. hick, hick. But it does sound like fun.
