Mom's Visit Part II

We had such a great time while Mom was here.  We are very sad to see her go but I am sure she is looking forward to a good night sleep again as she never went to bed before 1:00 am while she was here!  We finally got out this past week to enjoy Belgium a little since the rain finally stopped.  On Saturday we went to Gent a very cute little town about an hour outside of Brussels.  John David had a great time being spoiled by Grandma and is in for a rude awakening come tomorrow when he is stuck  with just Mom and Dad!  

I get into everything now as you can see!

Mom's Visit

We have been getting some requests for pictures from Mom's visit so I thought I would post a few just to let you know what we have been up to.  I should tell you that for the first 7 days that Mom was here in Brussels it rained for 6 of them.  So we spent a lot of time in the house.  This was really our first real outing except for a couple trips to the grocery and hardware stores.
