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!

DS and Mommy at ISB...



This morning, I attended a student-led conference at ISB. This conference gave the school children the opportunity to showcase to their parents what they have been learning and accomplishing in school this year.

Each Monday, DS writes what she did over the weekend in her "Weekend News" journal...


DS with her portfolio of projects. One included "Passport around the world" where KG "travelled" to several different countries and learned about different cultures...


DS had a lot of fun showing Mommy what she has been doing in school.

DS recently did a presentation with her reading comprehension group in front of the first-grade and kindergarten students. Her group has been reading books about the human body and its digestive system...


After our morning at ISB (a school closure day), DS got a real treat by spending the day with her girlfriend and family at the spa!

Meanwhile, PS and I enjoyed the outdoors by taking a nice walk and bike ride at the Tervuren Lakes.

Springtime is soon approaching!
