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!

Our little princess comes home!

After six days in the hospital, DS was released today and allowed to come home! Although it will take some time to regain her strength, her spirit is back and she is her usual happy self again.

The doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital were great and made our stay as painless and comfortable as possible. Although nothing beats being at home (or in a hotel), the hospital stay was not as bad as you would think. Maybe its because I had time to get some rest as well...



GM and GP also left this morning to depart back to sunny California. Although they will be missed, we look forward to seeing them again in December when we visit for the holidays.












We took some pics of DS during her stay at the hospital. These were all taken on Monday and Tuesday, when our little princess finally started smiling again.
