thanksgiving in Czech

Our family back in Cdn:

my mom + grandma 
dustin's mom (my new mom!) + my mom

 my dad + dustin's dad (now mine too!)

dust&one of my fav ladies in the world..grandma.

This past weekend one of the ladies here in KV invited alot of the couples from the team to her cottage for lunch... I have to tell you - it was out of this world.  Yes- the food was great, but more importantly the people + atmosphere were so incredible.  

Again:: how the universe conspires never ceases to amaze me... it was Canadian Thanksgiving weekend + I dont remember when the last time me + Dustin celebrated.  Tanya's 7 hour lunch/dinner date  was the perfect "thanksgiving" as were were surrounded by a number of happy couples, some families with young little jiggers running around all day + afternoon...  

At one point through the night, 

Monika's husband, Petr, established 

a line up of kids waiting to crawl + cling onto 

his leg as he swung them up + down in the air like a human swing.  He is about 6"5 so it was a pretty solid swing!  Nella, Lucy's daughter, is a little chunky 9 month old who I could have absolutely taken home with me!  

I skyped with my family later the next day + explained to them how now me + Dustin know how it felt when they were young parents with all my uncles + little kids running around everywhere, so MUCH LOVE filling the house!  Tanya's really felt like a big family..

Of course we always think of our family & friends back home + miss them!  Especially our little girl Annie

(a french bulldog for those of you who don't know)  

But this year was really exceptional + pretty amazing.

So grateful to be here in KV 

with my new husband, 

our new family & friends...

....xo.peace.k
