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!

Tervuren Park


We are lucky to have a beautiful park down the street from our home in Tervuren. This park has plenty of open space, grassy areas, a bike path and a lake with ducks and geese. Its a perfect place to enjoy the nice weather we have been having in Belgium (so far) this summer.



The girls love nothing better than to be pulled in their little trailer, complete with blankets, snacks and juice boxes and see the park. And its great exercise for mommy to pull 60+lbs of dead weight around the park...


And, we have found a wonderful shop close by that serves great sandwiches on fresh Belgian bread! Our picnics at Tervuren Park is just another thing that we will miss dearly when its time to come back to LA.
