back in the saddle again
with the fall semester officially started now at the university for wendy and at MGS for zeke, schedules are filling up as the days get shorter. it’s quite a change for us now that we both have jobs outside of the house and aren’t working from home (in our PJs) all day.
wendy got a tour through MGS and watched zeke play in a staff vs. parents football (soccer) match at school last week. it was a little like hogwarts… minus the girls and flying. she also met the high master (yes ‘high’ not ‘head’ master).
our friend dan (of hello america) works at MGS too, so he and zeke have been catching up at tea and lunch. since dan loved reese’s pieces so much (see above video link), we decided to take a trip to sam’s club to get his birthday present while we were in america. yes, it is a sam’s club box of reese’s pieces. he was pretty happy about it.
we have also seen a lot of our british friends that we missed while we were away. we finally got to meet josh and rose’s baby, cora mae thorp (i think it’s just cora, but because i’m southern i’ll stick with cora mae), and we had a great time at jon and lois’ wedding last weekend. zeke was their photographer and though he’s a veteran here it was actually the first british wedding wendy had been to, and it had a ceilidh. she has a bruise from being stepped on, but nonetheless enjoyed it thoroughly.
it was nice to have such wonderful people to come back to because homesickness is always looming about, especially when there are no pumpkin lattes or american football games, and a bit less sunshine.

at the end of this busy week we are looking forward to charlotte (zeke’s mom) coming to visit. she is spending the weekend with us on her way back to the US from holland.
