Kiah and Lynn come to visit...

Well, a lot has happened since our last post. Zeke began eating solid food, Arnett's parents came and spent 10 days with us, we celebrated our first African Thanksgiving, and our little man turned 6 months old. I just can't believe how fast the time is flying. Next week, we'll hit the "we've been in Africa 11 months" mark.

So, we started Zeke on solid food. Just cereal at first, which he loves! Yesterday, we tried green beans. He wasn't too fond of those. Today we're going to try pumpkin!! Here's some pics of those few first bites!!

Here's Zeke getting ready for the first bite!

On November 19th, Arnett's parents came to visit. We had such a great time with them. It made Arnett and I both realize how different things really are and how much we've adjusted to those differences. We were able to take them to our local market and introduce them to all of our friends there. We were also able to take them out to M-village. They both did great for their first time ever spending the night in the bush!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them and it was great to have them here for our first African Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving was great too!! All of the people we work with came together and shared a "traditional" meal! We were even able to find a turkey! Here's a picture of him...

Yep, that's right, he was a live turkey when we bought him. Susan called me the Friday before Turkey Day and said, "Crystal, I'm on my way to your house, in a taxi, with the live turkey in the trunk!" I immediately started cracking up, cause you'd only here that sentence in Africa!

Here's Zeke in his Turkey Day outfit!
