While overseas the Wendling family had the opportunity to share in the Thanksgiving traditions of many different cultures:
Chuseok - from our Korean friends
Moon cake festival - from Hong Kong
American Thanksgiving - from the US (complete with Pecan pie and American Football)
While still have Canadian Thanksgiving celebration with our compatriots at GSIS.
However, this current fall the Wendling family has had the opportunity to catch up with many past traditions of Thanksgiving by:
- having Thanksgiving lunch with the Wendling family
- having Thanksgiving supper with the Lafontaine family
As you can see by the photos there was much time to celebrate and be thankful for the opportunity to be with family, to celebrate the fall colours - pumpkins - corn stalks and catch our collective breaths with a holiday. (We also went to the So You Think You Can Dance concert but that is another blog for another time.)
Although we are at home, during this past week and weekend many of the girls have taken the time to reconnect with Korean friends with emails and google chats. To be honest, Rosanne and Kevin have thought of our friends from Land of the Morning Sun and hope all is well with them. We know that GSIS is a busy place with much activity so we send all our best.
Both Rosanne and Kevin continue to adjust to our new placements. Much has occurred with both of them. Although we have only been away for 3 years - much change can occur in that time. However, over time, things will hopefully get easier.
Well, this "break" is almost over until Christmas stay tuned for more on the family and our Korean-Canadian Adventures.
