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!

It's Carnival Time in Belgium!!


Well, almost. Actually, the main events start on Sunday, February 22nd, the 3 days prior to Lent. The festivities and parties, however, have already commenced. Many of the local school children were dressed up in costumes today. Here are our neighbors dressed in their costumes who stopped by for a visit earlier this afternoon.




And here is PS at our weekly Wednesday playgroup celebrating Carnival with a little party and enjoying yet another holiday dressing up in costume. PS came dressed as Alice in Wonderland.

And what party would be complete without yummy snacks to eat!!

Fruit, sausage rolls, cookies and cupcakes!!
