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!

Snow Day in Brussels!



Something that is unexpected for us Californians is to wake up and see it snowing. Especially when we are not staying at some mountain resort during the winter time.

But occasionally in Brussels, a cold front will come through, bringing snow and dusting the city in a blanket of white. And this is exactly what happened this weekend...



The girls and I went out early for an impromptu snowball fight, while mommy made us hot chocolate to warm up afterwards...



Later, we headed out to Tervuren Park, to see how the lake looked covered in white.

Winter is definitely here in Europe...
