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!

A Tooth for Mother's Day....

On Mother's Day, DS lost her first tooth! It happened quite fast as she mentioned to us just about a week prior that her tooth was loose. And oh boy, was she excited! She lost her tooth while she was eating a bowl of chili (of all things)!

That night Ray and I left for a night out and when we returned to check to make sure DS did not forget to leave her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy, we found this note...


GM & GP did not know about the note, so apparently, she decided to do this all on her own. Too cute!

The next morning, we woke up to squeals of delight when DS came to our bed and read us the note that the tooth fairy left her.


What's a tooth worth these days? The tooth fairy left 2.50euro's for her tooth. She's putting it in her kitty to save for the Nintendo DS she wants so badly...

What DS wrote in her diary about her lost tooth...
