December happenings

Just like that, 2011 is coming to a close.  I really can't believe it.  It has been a full and wonderful year, even if a bit on the sleep-deprived side of things. 2012 will be a year like no other for us with a big move to the US, school for Dexter, and experiencing life again in the US for me.  I am not sure who will have more culture shock - me or Dexter.  In the meantime, we enjoy the slow pace of things happening in Kijabe.  Here are a few glimpses into December.

There has been a lot of standing going on in the house. And a lot of happiness and excitement about it.  I think Kyalo can't really believe he's standing, even though he's been doing it now for a few weeks. He still giggles and laughs a lot when he's stands up.

We've been making a lot of pizza around here...and it just keeps getting better and better.  My brother makes some serious gourmet-type pizza, which he grills and puts fancy toppings on.  Ours is in a whole other category from that, but we love it and it is quickly becoming our Friday tradition.  I continue to look forward to trying lots of different toppings when in the States. 

These are my favorites, I think. First, Kyalo is just so cute in these fatigues. Too bad he's not doing his army crawl thing any more.  But I love how he's trying so hard to get to the books on the little cushion there. So determined! 

We have been having a lot of fires around here.  The rains have slowed down but the evenings are still cool.  Of course, Kyalo wants to lend a helping hand!

{I guess it is time for us to get some new stockings, and add one for Kyalo}.

Now I'm off to sit by one of our many fires and enjoy a few moments before Kyalo wakes up. 

Happy New Year everyone!
