December 30th 2008

Hello to all,

I haven't posted since we arrived home with Austin in September so it's about time that I up date.

Austin is doing really well! He know English fairly well and can communicate. He fits right into our family and we love him so much.

After arriving home on September 25th we had a few day to get ready for our daughters reception at our home on the 30th of September. It was very nice and we had great weather for it. Austin was a good sport while meeting all his new relatives and neighbors.

For Christmas this year we went on a Western Carabean cruise with our family. We took 13 out of 17 of us, we left the 4 little grandkids home. Austin's favorite part was all the food, he also enjoyed swimming with the dolpins.

Austin was baptised on December 27th along with his counsin Artem so it was a very special day and we are proud of both of them.

We are now enjoying the holidays with lots of family parties and getting together with friends.
