Hi everyone!

As most of you know, Ray has accepted a 2-year assignment with Toyota's European Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. For those of you who do not know, Belgium is located next to France, Germany and the Netherlands. The home of NATO and the European Union, it is considered the "gateway to Europe" with its easy access to many European countries. (Hint, hint--good excuse to come and visit!)

Ray started his new position in February, 2008. The girls and I arrived here in late March. We are living just outside the city of Brussels in the commune of Tervuren, Belgium.

Although we are sad to temporarily leave our family and friends, we are excited for this adventure. What an opportunity to leave our tiny box and experience life outside of America!

4th of July in Belgium

4th of July in Belgium?! Yes, I was quite delighted when an American friend I met invited us over for a 4th of July Bar-B-Que. I was a little homesick prior to the holiday when I realized I was missing the get-together's with my gal-pals in L.A., and although we did not see the Wilson Park fireworks from Kor and Jodi's house like we normally do, what a nice surprise when Amy invited us over... We had a wonderful evening (on the 5th, actually) celebrating with good food and lovely company.


As you can see, the girls had a blast playing with friends and getting VERY wet!! In fact, PS and DS were having such a great time that tears were flowing when it was time to leave!!















Thanks Amy and Justin for a wonderful "American" holiday!
