New House!

We have moved into our permanent housing yesterday! We are very excited to be actually in the place we will be for two years. No more moving until then!!! The house is very beautiful, almost looks too good for us. We are now living in the ritzy part of Kinshasa. By all the different Embassy's (British is across the street, and the Swiss are next door), and also Ambassadors resisdences. We are one street over from the Congo River, which is beautiful! We will be taking lots of walks down there every evening while the sun is setting on the River.

Halloween was different here. We didn't celebrate it on the 31st, it was on a Saturday when no one was working. Because only us Americans celebrate Halloween, we did just an Embassy thing with all of the kids. Spencer dressed up in his Care Bear outift, Bedtime Bear, and had a blast! He was so excited to go trick or treating. He got some candy and then we went to a party and Spencer and Tyler went through the Haunted House they had. Spencer was so brave, plus it wasn't too scary. Spencer tried to convince some girls who were around 6 or 7 to go through, but they thought it would be too scary. He played games while we were at the party and won just some fun little prizes.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is only a week and a half away! We will be spending it with some of the people here that work at the Embassy so that will be fun. Other than that...not too much is going on. We miss everyone so much! And I am planning on getting the internet hooked up this next week, so then I'll have LOTS of pictures on here!
